For anyone who is discouraged, tired out, or just bored with campus ministry I wanted to take a brief moment to tell you don’t stop! The work you’re doing can be hard at times, but it is making a HUGE impact on the Kingdom.
Here are several reasons why campus ministry is so important:
[li]most students are away from family and church for the first time and will lack spiritual direction without any Christian adults in their life[/li]
[li]students make many of the most important decisions of their lives during their time in college[/li]
[li]college is where the transition from youth to adulthood takes place[/li]
[li]campus ministry equips the next generation of leaders and sends them out to be witnesses in the workplace[/li]
[li]campus ministry is one of the most unreached mission fields (over 70% of Christians walk away from their faith in less than one semester at a public university)[/li]
The work that you’re doing is vitally important. Please, DON’T STOP!
These are just a few reasons why you should keep ministering on college campuses. For more reasons you can read the series “Why Campus Ministry?” from the Heart of Campus Ministry blog.
