Ministry Moment - Prayer & Pancakes
As you may know, the overall mission of Campus Crusade for Christ can be summed up as “Win, Build, Send.” The campus ministry desires to win students to Christ, build them up in their faith, and send them into the world to do the same. In line with that mission, I have been leading a small group at UNCG about these core values. We have focused greatly on the “win” aspect and discussed a variety of methods for sharing Christ with someone.
One week, the ladies who are part of the small group planned their own outreach. They chose to combine a door-to-door prayer strategy in one of the largest freshmen dorms on campus with a pancake party as a way to serve those same dorm residents. So, last Monday, the ladies and some guys involved with our ministry gathered together and attempted to visit all the residents in this particular dorm. We were able to have some great conversations with students! Some shared ways that we could lift them up in prayer, others wanted to know more about Cru on the campus and how to get involved, and all college students enjoy free food, so they were excited about the pancakes!
On Tuesday night, the girls and I snuck out of our weekly meeting on campus and headed back over to the same dorm. We started making pancakes - 1 person making batter, 3 people cooking, and lots of Cru students mingling with those who came out to have some pancakes. It was an awesome way to share Christ’s love with students, as well as give them an opportunity to hear the Gospel (win) and/or get plugged into a Christian community (build). And I believe it’s a sign of the Lord sparking a desire in the students who planned and carried out the event to walk with Him for a lifetime (send).
