China Outreach Ministries — Organization Profile
China Outreach Ministries (COM) is a Christian mission organization focused on international student ministry among Chinese students, scholars, researchers, and professionals studying or working in American university settings. The organization describes its mission as “Giving Christ to China’s Future Leaders” by sharing Christ’s love and truth, developing caring relationships, leading people to faith, discipling new believers, and preparing them to become multiplying Christian leaders.
COM is based in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and serves in university communities across the United States. Its listed campus locations include university communities in Arizona, California, Colorado, Washington, DC, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. Through these campus communities, COM serves Chinese students and scholars who are temporarily living in North America for study, research, or professional development.
The organization’s work centers on hospitality, friendship, practical service, Bible studies, evangelism, discipleship, and leadership development. COM staff and volunteers help Chinese students and scholars adapt to life in America through social activities, transportation, cultural orientation, conversational English, trips, fellowship groups, and other forms of practical support. As relationships develop, staff and volunteers also share Christian teaching and invite students into Bible study and discipleship.
COM’s approach is relational and campus-based. The organization places campus workers in university communities where Chinese students and scholars are present, while administrative and leadership staff support recruitment, training, finances, communication, and ministry development. COM also works with local churches and other ministries when possible, helping new believers grow in Christian faith and prepare to live as followers of Jesus in their families, communities, and professions.
The ministry also provides tools for people involved in Chinese student ministry. Its resource materials include articles, Bible studies, recipes, skits, evangelism tools, and other downloadable resources created or compiled by COM staff. COM also publishes IMPACT magazine three times per year, sharing testimonies, campus ministry updates, planned giving information, and ministry news for prayer and partner engagement.
People can engage with China Outreach Ministries by praying, giving financially, volunteering, exploring staff opportunities, hosting or befriending Chinese students and scholars, using COM ministry resources, or receiving COM news and IMPACT magazine. Those interested in volunteering or staff roles can contact the organization directly, while donors may give online, by phone, or by mail to the Mechanicsburg office.
