Central Bible Church Fort Worth, Tx
Do you yearn to see your students follow Christ in such an intimate and radical way that they would become lifelong world changers?
Come join hundreds of campus ministry and collegiate church staff to return to the core of the Great Commission, gain greater vision, and acquire practical ministry tools!
PS: Don't take our word for it. Ben Weber is taking every Campus Outreach staff member in his region to EDM'23. Here's what he had to say.
THE CORE
Evangelism
When Jesus commanded His disciples to make disciples, they didn't have young Christians to gather up to begin discipling. As the original witnesses to Christ's words, the disciples understood that making disciples must begin with evangelism.
Instead of waiting for students to come to us, we should be going to the cafeteria, residence halls, and fraternity and sorority houses. In the words of Robert Coleman, "Evangelism is not an optional accessory to our life. It is the heartbeat of all that we are called to be and do."
Disciple-making
Although evangelism for Christ is a vital aspect of your ministry, that isn't where your ministry stops. In addition to counting the number of converts, what if we also started measuring the maturity of those who have made professions?
Similar to newborn babies, newly born-again Christians need care and guidance from spiritual parents to help and adjust to this new world. We must take the lead in helping shape their values and convictions as Christ followers.
Mobilization
Although they only represent 1-2% of all the world's population, college students have been, are, and will likely continue to be, the most recruitable, trainable, and deployable group of people on the planet.
Let's cultivate God's resources for His purposes. Let's cast vision for missions and recruit disciples to go to the lost. What if the number of missionaries sent by previous generations is a drop in the bucket compared to what God does in our time?
