Highlights from Campus Missions Training

We had Kent Hulbert here today - he's a Youth Alive Missionary. He was so great...I wish everyone could have heard it. But if you didn't, here are some of the notes that I got from what he said.

What is a Campus Missionary?

The attraction of how a life is lived can help people get closer to the point of receiving Christ. No matter where God places you…it’s a mission field. Are you dreaming of what God can do through your life? You have the opportunity to change someone’s life forever! If you just allow God to use you – He will FREAK you out by what He does!!

5 Habits of a CM:
Pray…
Pray daily. Even in the “smallest” moments…acknowledge that He’s listening. Take 30 seconds at your locker. Grab a couple other Christians – take 2 minutes to pray for your school. Jericho March – walk around your school and pray. James 5:16b

Live…
Live like Jesus. I John 2:7 This is the tough one. As you obey His Word, He will raise things up in your life to give you an opportunity to live for Him!

Tell…
Tell the truth. Be ready to give the reason for the hope that you have. I Peter 3:15 With GENTLENESS and RESPECT!

Serve…
Serve others. Matthew 20:27-28 It shows the love of Christ in a totally individual way. Start a campus club that finds ways to serve their community.

Give…
Give generously. I Corinthians 9:6-7 Not just money – time, talents, abilities. Personal sacrifice in order to reach out to others.

There are now 20,000 students who have committed to be CMs. We're working to double that number in two years – desire to reach 1,000,000 students!

We had about 6 more students sign up to be a Campus Missionary! I'm SO stoked about that. I've been praying about what we can do in the area of evangelism, and this is totally part of that answer. I will be giving an overview of what CMs are on Wednesday night...so stay tuned. I can help you get signed up too!
