Part of what we do on my team is called "movement launching" wherein we usually travel to a campus that doesn't have a Campus Crusade ministry to identify interested students, faculty, and community members and churches. We will usually set up an information table, hand out Bibles, silly putty, and music cd's, and host an informational meeting for students that have come by and expressed interest. We're experimenting with other ideas for casting the net wider to more students, but the table is the main thing we do right now. Believing that within five miles of every campus are the resource to reach that entire campus for Christ, we also try to develop partnerships with faculty, administration, and local churches and ministries in order for every student on campus to have a chance to respond to the Gospel.
This semester we decided to try to "launch" five new campuses. We've been to Alva, Tulsa, Talequah, El Reno, and next Monday we'll be going to Chickasha. It's kept us really busy so far, but it's been great to get some experience going to all these different campuses and to dream and pray about what God might do on these campuses. We've met students on the basketball team, students from other countries, students who are already involved in ministry on their campus, faculty who want to lead a Bible study, and a church that is trying live in authentic, healing, and missional community near one of the campuses. Although we've seen a lot and met many people, we don't have many strong leads yet. Please pray that God would water and cause to grow the seeds that we were able to plant and that we would be faithful in cultivating them. Also, pray that God would help us to see where He is working the college in Chickasha and that He would use us there.
