Expansion Plans

After much prayer and discussion, our UNILID team has decided to close down our Miami
office. There have not been sufficient opportunities to justify four full-time people and the expense of the office. So what will change? – a lot . . . and not much.

First and most important --- We are NOT leaving Campus Crusade for Christ! But we have
prayerfully considered how God would have us best use our time and resources, as well as our individual spiritual gifts, and all agree that it is time to change.

Our mission statement remains the same – to build spiritual movements everywhere so that
everyone will know someone who truly follows Jesus. To help accomplish this goal, each of us is
expanding our vision in different ways.

Dean and Jan Beal will continue with the Masters in Christian leadership program and do more
mentoring in Latin America. Eric Schlottman will work cooperatively with another distance education university based in Miami - Universidad FLET (Facultad Latinoamericana de Estudios Teológicos).

I will continue to do online evangelism and discipleship with Global Media Outreach, and to
work with students at Miami-Dade College – Homestead. But in addition I am transferring from UNILID to be a faculty member at The Orlando Institute (TOI), which is another educational ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ.

This new challenge is exciting. TOI has a worldwide ministry of distance education, including a
large program in East Asia. I will be working on various projects and teaching as opportunities arise. In future newsletters you will learn more details. To check out their website, go to – www.toi.edu

The Miami team will meet together regularly for prayer and encouragement, but each of us will
work out of home offices (at least for the near future I will remain in Homestead). Obviously there is avlot of work to do to close down the UNILID office and transition to new ways of serving God, making it even more important to rely on the wisdom and power of the Holy Spirit. Please keep us in your prayers.
