Everyone wants to belong - to be recognized - for someone to know his or her name - to be understood. From 1982-1993 there was a popular sitcom called Cheers and the words to the theme song were not only catchy but insightful. Wouldn't you like to get away? Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows your name, and…

There is no “Secret Formula” for bringing Generation’s Y and Z to Christ. However, there is a “Gospel Magnet” for attracting them. This may sound contradictory but hear me out. There is a difference in a “Secret Formula” and what I refer to as a “Gospel Magnet.” A formula suggests “X easy steps” to salvation or perhaps some procedure that…

The fire burns brightly piercing the darkness - almost symbolic of things to come. Add the powerful preaching of the Word, the quickening of the Spirit of God, open hearts of families or students, a challenge for commitment . . . and you have the potential for life change. I have stood at hundreds of campfire services and seen people…

Can you imagine people actually paying for the privilege to: Stay up late or even all night? Ride on old school buses? Give up one of their week nights, week after week, for years? Be called at all times of the day and night? Sacrifice a night’s sleep for the weekend? Be involved in the lives of students with no…

I have always believed that evangelism was more about “multiplication” than “addition.” I have preached 2 Timothy 2:2 where faithful believers are challenged to make disciples as the greatest plan for world evangelization. Now my friend J.D. Greear has aptly established “subtraction” as a part of the equation. In his new book Gaining By Losing: Why the Future Belongs to…

Some of the people in the seminar were shocked since I was the speaker and the topic was Evangelism. I began by saying, “I love Jesus and want everybody to know Him but I don’t do evangelism!” After a brief pause, I explained, “Evangelism is not what I do…it is who I am!” If we relegate evangelism to an event…

This is a guest post from Johnny Reimer the Director or Word of Life Brazil. Besides the excitement of the World Cup event, he shares of the incredible ministry opportunities.   Have you been watching the FIFA World Cup soccer games? Did you even know this event was happening in Brazil? According to Forbes Magazine, the estimated audience for this…

This is a guest post by Eric Brown, Word of Life Area Missionary to Maine. During the month of November he along with other National Missionaries runs 17 evangelistic events reaching 30,000 students. As the Gospel is presented, many of these students say “Yes” to Jesus. Eric reminds us that the true essence of big event is the individual.  Counseling…

“Rediscovering the gospel has given me a joy in God I never experienced in all my years of fervent religion” (pg. 5). So Dr. JD Greear begins his book Gospel, Recovering the Power that Made Christianity Revolutionary declaring that there is a distinct difference in religion and relationship. This truth has eternal consequences and as I wrote in my post…

I just met for 27 hours with some of the nation’s strategic student leaders. Our focus was how to reach the 67,000+ students in our middle and senior high schools. Meeting at the Fellowship of Christian Athlete’s headquarters we spent a great deal of our time in prayer as well as strategizing. I think every student ministry realizes the importance…
