In The Thick of It!

Well, we are in the thick of it. We have experienced a tremendous start. We were able to have over 2,500 Spiritual Interest Cards. Over half of those cards were positive contacts, meaning they expressed interest in a Bible Study, Campus Crusade info., or more inportantly a desire to learn more about how to have a personal relationship with God.

On a fun yet tough note, we do not have enough leaders to follow up each one of those cards. You can pray for that. The staff AND the student leaders are swamped! Pray for the Lord's endurance and strength. We want to be good stewards of all of those cards. We want to follow up each individual on those cards. They are NOT JUST NAMES ON A CARD, but people with souls and hearts. We want to plug them into life, into Jesus.

Now, that is just our Freshman strategy. That does not include re-launching all of our existing studies, and getting our older students back in the saddle. The mission is so much greater without our older students, particularly our older student leaders staying engaged in the MISSION. They are a critical component to the body of believers on campus living out the MISSION. Each student has gifts and abilities that the Lord has blessed them with. We need them to contribute those gifts. In a sense, as Paul explains in 1 Corinthians, the whole body suffers when we are not bringing all of those gifts and skills to the table!

Pray for us as we trust God to help us reach the mission of giving every student an opportunity to respond to the Good News of Jesus Christ. How sweet would it be to now that everyone on campus knows someone who truly follows Jesus?
