Every Nation Every Campus

Thoughts from Rice Broocks’ sermon @ the Every Nation world conference in Manilla on 22 July 2010

This message comes 10 years after God gave us the mandate to reach every nation in our generation in 1999.  10 years later, of the 200+ countries of the world we are now ministering in 61 countries with hundreds of churches. It’s quite exciting and brings at the same time says to me: “don’t sleep now, there is a real calling in front of us. It also says to me that it’s "Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit." Zechariah 4:6

Rice Broocks

Why the campus?
He re-iterated why reaching the campus is so important:
1. It’s the battle ground where minds are being captured.
More than in prisons, the campus is where minds are being captured.
2. Is where leaders are being trained.
3. The world’s major movements in history started on campus.
4. Values in society are impacted.
Abraham Lincoln: “The philosophy of the classroom, will be the philosophy of the next generation.”
5. History is altered on campus.
The college has resource to fuel any objective we as a movement can ever have.

Every Nation Every Campus
This is a new battle cry he gave to all leaders there.
It’s to say it’s not about just going to all nations or reaching all nations but reaching to all nations strategically by reaching the area of most significant resource point – the campus. While there's much we can engage for God, reaching every campus is our assignment.

I've always had that in my heart but 'Every Nation Every Campus' brings focus where by now there's been many churches planted as a result of growth, it reminds us that though we're growing the goal is to reach the world through reaching the campus.

It reminds us of our priorities. i.e. as much as we give attention to reaching every nation, reaching the campus has equal importance.
