While Kris
was upsetting the dude with eyeliner & black nail polish on
American Idol and the Magic were upsetting the Cavs, I was in an
all-day planning meeting with key opinion-shapers of Every Nation Campus Ministry (Philippines).
My meeting included:
- 9 active campus missionaries
- 5 retired campus missionaries (now pastors)
- 4 senior pastors
- 4 youth pastors
- 2 ENCM central office staff
After some heated debates, we decided that ENCM-Phil should be…
- church-based not para-church
- a student movement not a youth movement
- a campus ministry not a student ministry
- Christ-centered not secular or social
- national not local
While
I no longer do Bible studies on the campus, my passion to reach
students has only increased over the years. For me, campus ministry is
not an elective - it’s a calling, a stewardship.
Here’s a 4-point summary of our discussions/debates/decisions about what really matters in ENCM-Philippines:
1. God is honored.
2.
Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered, Bible-based, disciple-making,
church-based, socially-responsible campus ministries are established on
every major campus in the Philippines.
3. Adequately funded campus missionaries are equipped and empowered.
4. Ministry partners are valued.
