Campus Ministry 2012

During our strat planning, most of us there has a similar sense that in 2012 God is taking us beyond ourselves, beyond our borders and beyond our campus and residences. We sense that next year God is taking us deeper in our love for Him, it’s not about merely growing in numbers but as our identity in Him is made solid we do mighty exploits for Him based on who we are in Him versus doing great things in hopes to be accepted by Him.

Campus Ministry aims at linking the students to his world and mission field. Everything we do is aim at preparing them for the real world after campus – we hope that by the time they leave they would have seen their career through God’s eyes, the significance of their role in the business world, and that they would have made a real heart decision to love wholly for God wherever they go so that they can transform their society!

2012 Campus Strat plan–Day 3

Today, in our final day of planning we’re looking at how we can translate the vision we believe God has for reaching students into action.

One of the key things as we  plan is how to ensure what we do can be sustainable and transferrable in our our context where turnover rate is high. 

The success of campus ministries is when the people impacted start making a difference when they leave the campus. We are looking at how we reach all the students and do so effectively that they do step into their work with a view that their career is their mission field where they can make a difference for God.

It’s so cool to see that in this meeting we’re over 90% students and only a few of us are in full-time ministry because campus ministry is also about empowering students to do the work of ministry – our vision is to see a student run campus ministry in the church and us as full-time ministers are here to shepherd,  empower and rally behind them bringing out the callings and destinies in them.

Planning 2012

We're at UCT campus right now beginning our strat planning for the campus ministry at UCT & CPUT.

Today we're just taking time to reflect on what God did this year, giving Him thanks fire His promises that He fulfilled. Here’s cellphone live video footage:
