For those that don’t know, Campus Crusade for Christ staff members raise their own salary, benefits charges, and ministry expenses.
We don’t see it as just asking for financial support, but as an appeal to partnership. We want a team of people to reach college students with the gospel. We volunteer to be the members of that team that go out and beat the bushes on the college campus. But we need a team of people behind us to “hold the rope” financially and prayerfully.
We Christians get a bad rap for always asking for money. I realize that. This is not an appeal for you to send money if you don’t want college students to hear the gospel, or if you aren’t a Christian yourself. Skip this post and stay tuned for more content that will be decidedly more light-hearted and fun. But if you are a Christian, and you do want to see college students reached with the gospel, we need you. Our team is not complete, and with the addition of the new little boy, our needs have increased. Please prayerfully consider supporting us with your prayers and your giving. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
As a former Crusade staff member, I appreciate your partnership paradigm! Just remember that sending letters is the LEAST effective way to generate the support you need. Let me encourage you to seek referrals, make appointments, visit with people, and most of all LISTEN to people and learn how to minister to them.
