Missions

Do you know that most ministries and missionary work start on campuses? I have had some of missionaries and church Leaders ask: How do I start a Campus Ministry? Here are some answers if you are interested in possessing the nations through campus ministry:
1: Identify a Spiritual Leader on the campus. Get some influencers on your side. There will be probably student unions on campuses. It could be religious or political. Whatever situation you find on that campus get the leader involved.

2: Share a vision and highlight the need. Every missionary know his or her mission. Make your vision clear enough for a novice to understand and let the people see themselves in that vision.

3. Navigate through College Administrations. This might be difficult. Especially on campuses where Christian fellowships are not allowed. Nevertheless do a lot of background checks before attempting this.

4. Discover available resources. Identify and unveil the talents and giftings in the students you meet on the campus. These talents are going to be the resources. Look beyond appearances and be discerning in this area. Discern the leadership ability in them; good organizers and event planners. Trust God for the resource to start the fellowship.

5. Establish relevant and catchy programs. Activities on campuses should be different from the “mother church”. Let the fellowship activities be youthful oriented but spirit filled.

6. Go on the campaign to recruit students. Use social media especially, a whatsapp group will be helpful to contact all the members. Ask them to bring their friends and trust God for the Holy Spirit to break through their hearts as they come.

7. PRAY and know how to deal with college students. They can easily drop you and walk away if you are not diligent and tactful. Drop “I am more spiritual, I am the boss” kind of attitude and simply be a friend. If they see authenticity, they’ll stick to God’s agenda being presented through you.

I hope this helps. Share to spread the “know how”.

The Lord Jesus is doing an amazing thing in the world by bringing people of different nationalities together under the umbrella of education. This is sparking revival in the various nations and campuses. It will amaze you that most nations have closed their doors to missionaries but student visas are easy to get. I believe strongly that this is the wisdom of God that has been ordained for our glory. Little do they know that most students are missionaries and God is using that door to reach out to the unsaved world. Praise God. We can give several examples of Christians who travelled to several nations with the aim of studies but the Lord rekindled a fire of missions in them. And their motive and mindset changed. This is really happening in nations like China, Japan, Russia and most unreached groups of our world.

Missions Today is poised to reach out to the world and the various campuses with the gospel and organizing annual missions outreaches for students across globe. This is to infuse students with a passion and missions strategies to reach out to areas where various skills are needed in the development of the communities. As part of community development process, the gospel and the love of God for this dying world would be communicated in another way to win souls into the kingdom. 

As part of Missions Today, a special package is reserved for the kids in the communities we outreach. This includes kids and pregnant women. Educational seminars are organized for these ones concerning their health and child education. Members of the outreach team spend quality time with the kids in the various kindergartens, crèches,schools and labour wards.

Teaching is done for free in these educational centres to bring the kids to the knowledge of the son of God. Several donations are made to these ones which include educational materials, clothing, food and several others to raise future leaders among these children. Missions Today raises special funds to support this outreach. You can add your support to this global outreach.

One strategy on the mission field is sports. It’s an event that gathers thousands and millions of people together in one place. Missions Today is using the sports events such as football tournaments, Olympic games and many others to reach different nationalities with the gospel. During the world cup 2018 in Russia, a bold step was launched by different groups to share the word of God with the world. On this mission, we partner with other teams, organizations and certain individuals. Can you see what God can do with sports events? If you are missionary-minded, you don’t need a special platform with a special introduction. All you need is the Holy Spirit and the word of God in you. The Spirit of God is a wonderful strategist when it comes to missions. Let’s get involved with what God is doing. Join now!!
