What is a movement?
“Movement" is a word we have been using a lot in our communication. We wanted to take a bit of space and describe in a bit more detail what we mean by movement. When we envision a movement of students on a campus, we envision an environment and a ministry culture that is dynamic and growing. We envision students leading other students to Christ, and those students in turn leading other students to Christ! We want to see students trained in evangelism and discipleship to the point where they’re not only engaging in these activities, but training other students to engage in evangelism and discipleship, too.
A movement doesn’t grow by addition--it grows exponentially, by multiplication. A movement is constantly expanding and sending--sending students both to the ends of the earth, and the other end of their campus. We want to see the students we reach to develop a burden for and have a ministry in their immediate spheres of influence, but also to minister “cross culturally” even in the context of their own campus, reaching African-American, Latino and international students, athletes, the Greek system…
Please pray with us for movements of this kind to grow on the campuses of St. Louis. We want to be constantly pressing forward, constantly expecting great things of God as we step out in faith, and ask students to step out in faith with us.
