Mark/Elaina Rushing- Campus
Ephesians 4:14 – Ephesians is all about the church. We have the outreach and we also focus on our relationship with Christ. There are infants in the church. Protect the infants and helping the younger generation. We need to disciple other to get their vision strait. For women it feels good to feel tied in with the ministry. We have to establish true relationships. The girls who recently got baptized felt like they were part of the family already. Went to the family groups and had another family. They have a welcome packet and follow up studies. Really pull the Christians in and make them feel welcome. The first year is a very volatile time for people to follow away.
Got to have zeal to be on campus. It is not the answer to everything, but it takes you a long long way. Helping people see their vision and focus on their vision. Don’t let fear stop her. Got to have a heart to really want to change. Love triumphs everything. Deep down they became a Christian, deep down they want to change. I need to stay close to God. We need to have the vision that someday this person will lead. I get a small part of their life to help them. Wow, I get to be a part of their life. Not going to be afraid to share with anyone. This is an idea we have, let just do it, even street preaching. People are drawn to men with faith. Everyone was afraid of them but they still got baptized. If we as leaders can take away the fear. If we can take that away then our people will be free.
Edd/Deb Anton – Campus, being together
Ephesians – we are meant to be connected rather than being separate. Each story that children hear about the stories of individualism, and how Paul Bunyan. Give “ME” liberty or give “ME” death. It is no longer university, but we are breaking into diversity. Everyone has earphones or tapped out. We have to realize the challenge of knitting together people who are so individualistic. We have to change from a first person singular to a first person plural. Cult is the label is the of using in unity. Force Jew and gentile together as one. We have to be keen of repenting of repenting of individualism. We need the attitude of others rather than ourselves. It ought to be concern for the young ones here, tie them down with ligaments and sinews.
How can we have a great day today, not a how can I have a great day today. We feel like we can leave and still have relationships with God. We have to make sure each one of our young Christians, how do you approach your day. How are WE going to do what….???
When something is disrupted something shuts down. We can talk about our quiet times and we talk about evangelism, but we need to talk about the head, God, our Lord, Christ. We should definitely have practical but also have faith.
Each part does its work. Most people getting out of the water are quite eager to get on track. It is our job to make sure each person realizes his worth in Christ. We have a lot of people in our ministries like this. How can I make sure we are discharging to all the ministry and make sure we are making a difference throughout the entire church. Are you pulling your own weight.
We have to have the mindset that we are going to pull our own weight. Make sure each person has something to do.
Make sure when the birthdays are happening. Hospitality. Dates. Fun times. Leaders.
Bigger idea of why we are all here. Everyone has a part in reaching out to a person. Everyone prays everyone contributes. Not always a good idea to rotate, ask for help on icebreakers, but you should be leading and preaching it in the end. Don’t be afraid to discharge what needs to be discharged. We have to do the great work, the work of the harvest. They need to see you over and over again setting up the study and stopping people.
10 to 1 find them.
Refreshments, calendar, dates, weekly plans, birthdays, rides, taking care of others, text messanger.
Brainstorm people together and make sure they have a feeling of ownership of the bible talk members should brainstorm.
It is spiritual to study and be disciplined, because the end of the semester comes up and you need them instead of being in the study lab for 17 days. Get everyone’s schedule and make sure they are study. Watch out for escapism, police them into studying. Put pride down and make good grades.
