Our vision for our college campus (and I’m sure many Crusade ministries use this) is that:
That vision pretty much summarizes everything we do.
Everyone = Scope – every student on campus (meaning we need to think of the campus as a waffle – see previous post)
Would Know = The gospel travels along the road of relationships (we rarely do “randoms” – almost exclusively for training purposes).
Someone = Our Means of reaching scope = College students (students reaching students; success for us is not staff having a thriving personal ministry but staff equipping students to do ministry)
Who passionately follow Jesus = What must be true of our students involved in our ministry – gospel infused/motivated
But there’s one element missing from that vision. It’s not enough that Joe Freshman meets a passionate follower of Christ. Â His likely response, “that’s cool for him, it’s just not for me.”
The missing element? Â Equipping. We have to have a way to effectively (and efficiently) equip our students.
Maybe we need a new, more comprehensive vision?
What vision statement do you use?
What do you do to systematically equip your students to multiply their lives (and know how to share their faith)?
