Our Mission

The 5 Things [Video]

by jay on March 18, 2011

 

This fall, Carrie’s team produced this short vision piece commissioned by “100% Sent,” another Campus Crusade team here who focuses on continuity of the mission for students as they graduate. With the hard work of two more technically-savvy Media LAB team members, Carrie’s draft script and and concept were able to become a finished video that was viewed by thousands of students at winter conferences around the country.

The idea is based around the “5 Things” the team feels are essential components of missional living, both during and after college:

  • Kingdom Vision
  • A Team
  • A Plan
  • Ongoing Equipping
  • Coaching

For more on this initiative of Campus Crusade, check out AllCallings.com, a tool to connect alumni with resources and like-minded people to help them live and share the gospel locally.

Two things of moderately-interesting note in the video: the mirror frame was a freebie we found in Grove City, PA (it usually hangs in our dining room), and the actor in the video is a fellow Lake Hart STINTer (he’s one of our closer friends here).

EveryDCStudent.com

by jay on October 6, 2007

In these past few weeks we’ve seen God moving in a lot of ways on many of our campuses, but one of the ways we’ve also seen some success is with a number of websites we’ve set up, like EveryDCStudent.com.

We’ve been doing advertising on the hugely popular social networking site, Facebook (if you don’t know what it is, visit the Wikipedia article). We’ve paid almost nothing – just over $11 to show the ads more than 35,000 times! We could have spent all day every day handing out fliers on campus and we wouldn’t have been able to get that many out… even better, all people have to do is click on something and they’re there. They don’t have to go home and remember to look up this random site that they have no vested interest in; just click.

The main site that we were able to set all of these up through also gives us statistics of how many people have been visiting. As of right now we have had over 250 visits to the site and 3 people have indicated that they have received Christ after visiting the site!

Hopefully we’ll have the chance to follow up with these people in the next few weeks, but we have to wait for them to contact us again through the site. Please be praying for the effectiveness of these sites and of the advertising.

Update: There have now been 6 people who have indicated that they have made the decision to follow Christ while viewing our websites!

Back from Ocean City… (prayer letter)

July 9, 2007

For the abridged version that we sent out as a prayer letter, go to the 2007 Newsletters section of our site. The amount that can go on in a few weeks is amazing! Just a month ago we had completed moving out of our house in Grove City. With everything packed into a 10’x20’ box [...]

Mentoring (prayer letter)

March 26, 2007

As I’ve been on staff longer and longer, I’ve started to realize the thing that I am most passionate about – seeing guys’ lives change; seeing them grow into men after God’s own heart. In this month’s prayer letter, I share about working toward that – I share a little bit of my heart and [...]
