Student leaders. They can be your college ministry’s greatest asset or your biggest frustration. Not everyone has the luxury of being choosy with who they put in leadership, but if your group does then I’d like to give you some standards to consider when selecting yours.
If you could get an idea of what the future would look like ahead of time, would you choose to? There have been plenty of movies and TV shows made around this concept. There are plenty of areas in life that I would not want to see the future before it happens, but in ministry I think it could be incredibly helpful. I know this may sound a little crazy, but stick with me here.
A couple weeks back the BASIC crew had the opportunity to go to SUNY Albany for a campus blitz. It was an awesome time of being on the campus, starting many great conversations, and ministering to students. When we held our blitz meeting we had over 90 students show up and 11 commit their lives to Christ that night! One of things we did throughout our couple days was a simple event called beta pong.
