Reach Your Campus

1. Prayerful Preparation

• Be bold in your outreaches. Prayer walk as a team and take time for onsite intercession: hold prayer meetings on campus.
• Find out what needs to be done on campus and offer to help get it done. Find practical ways to serve the students around you: how about homemade cookies in the class around finals or midterms? Or hosting a trash pick up day?
• Use service as an opportunity to be witnesses to Jesus practically and in words as well.

2. Pockets of People:
The second step is to look for “pockets of people”, who are un-reached with the Gospel. In Luke 10 Jesus sent out the 70 to towns and villages (specifically the lost sheep of Israel). We are to look for the lost sheep, not those who are well, but those that are in need of a physician. Jesus came to call not the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

-What pocket is he calling you to?

3. Power of Presence:
The third step is to simply “show up.” Jesus commanded His disciples to “Go” and make disciples, not wait for them to come to a church building. As we pray and are led by the Holy Spirit to pockets of un-reached students, we are to then show up and befriend those lost groups of students. The most effective way of befriending a lost group of students is by serving and caring for their needs. We do this before we share with them the Gospel, by finding out their needs and meeting them. Whatever it may be, meet the students felt needs. So we pray for them, we then care for them & when the door of opportunity opens we share with them the Good News of Jesus Christ!

4. Person of Peace:
The fourth step is to find the person of peace or the student of peace within the pocket of students. Jesus said to his disciples to go into the town and villages looking for the person who would welcome the gospel and open up their home. The student of peace is critical, because they will be the indigenous leader to win that community of lost students. They become the conduit for passing the kingdom message to the entire community of friends. Could you imagine if you won the captain of a sport’s team to Christ, the whole team could follow & come to Christ!
