Kathleen McAlister (Ireland)
Raised in Glasco, Kansas, Kathleen McAlister began exploring global missions during her time as a student at Grove City College. Following a summer internship with Serge—a global missions sending organization—in Ireland, Kathleen decided to return for a longer stint after graduation. From 2019 to 2021, she lived and served the Irish evangelical church in Dublin, Ireland as an Apprentice on a Serge team. Partnering with the local Irish church, Kathleen discovered a passion for discipleship after seeing the Lord work in her own heart through mentoring, as well as the joy she experienced walking alongside other young women and youth as they came to know and delight in Christ. As she reached the end of her term, Kathleen felt called to pursue returning to the Irish field, specifically the city she had come to know and love so well. God has graciously opened doors to allow Kathleen to return to Dublin, joining the Serge Leinster team long-term, which she hopes to do in early 2023.
The vision of Serge in Ireland is to see a distinctly Irish church centered on the gospel grow and flourish through gospel renewal in historic churches and the planting of new churches throughout the island. Serge’s part in this is to come alongside Irish church leaders in a facilitative role. Kathleen’s role within this whole-island vision will be to push deeper into her partner church and Dublin community, pursuing evangelistic and discipling relationships within and outside of the church, while supporting the kingdom work already going on in Ireland through presence, prayer, practical help, relationship, and encouragement.

CRU
Zach Breshears
My name is Zach Breshears, I am a Senior Staff Member of Cru Campus Ministry (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ) here in Central Kansas!
I was born in Wichita, Kansas where I grew up on the outskirts of Church, never truly belonging to a community of faith until late high school. After I was saved my Senior year, I felt a call to potentially go into full-time ministry. After this was confirmed by prayer, trusted friends, and mentors, I attended Manhattan Christian College here in town. I got my bachelors in Christian Ministry, with minors in Counseling and Pastoral Ministry. My undergrad experience was hard to say the least. I deeply wrestled with my young faith in a new city. Yet, out of this experience of doubt and suffering, God brought a great friend (who happened to be my roomate), and one of the most influential mentors of my life. Both happened to also work for Cru! They loved me well and lifted my eyes that other college students also experience this every day. They also showed me a vision of what it would look like to strategically reach college students. After graduation, I was struck by Cru’s vision for a ministry of multiplication: Students intentionally discipling other students, who disciple other students, and so on. My mentor asked if I would join staff with Cru, and through prayer decided this was where God had us!
I am still with Cru to this day! I am currently working at Kansas State and throughout Central Kansas, particularly at Wichita State. I am working on a Masters of Divinity degree from Covenant Theological Seminary and am Under-Care of the Heartland Presbytery. My wife and I have been members at Manhattan Presbyterian for the last three years.
Our vision is to live out the Great Commission for the glory of God by prayerfully loving and shepherding a community of students in Central Kansas to be life-long disciple-making evangelists who can guide others to do the same.
I would love to have you partner with our family on this mission, feel free to reach out! (316) 680-8672"
