WHAT DO WE DO?
WIN
The greatest thing we can do for another person is to show them how they can know for sure that God loves them, that while they are sinners, Jesus died for them, and that all they need to do is trust Him to be Lord and Savior. Some practical ways to do this would be...
- Learn how to use a variety of tools to share your faith.
- Establish a time each week to share the gospel with other students on campus.
- Set a goal of how many people you all want to initiate sharing Christ with this year.
BUILD
Once a person comes to Christ, we want to help them grow in their relationship with God.
- Spend time in God’s word every day yourself and invite your friends to do the same.
- Get involved in a Bible believing churches.
- Train in using Life Concepts as a tool to follow up with anyone who has placed their faith in Christ.
- Find a spiritual mentor and be trained to be spiritual mentors to others in your movement.
- Check out weekly small group Bible studies and other gatherings for prayer, fellowship and fun.
SEND
Finally, we want to send students on to the next place where God will grow them and use them to win, build, send others as life-long followers of Jesus.
- Ensure that you are living a fully surrendered life.
- Ask God regularly how you can live out pray, win, build, and send.
- Check out conferences and summer missions to see what God might do in and through you.
- Consider your future and what it will look like to make decisions from a heart surrendered to God’s leading.
