sdgPrayer EvangelismEvangelism is first and foremost a work of God. Therefore,the place to begin your evangelism is always with prayer.Prayer aligns us with the work of God and allows us theprivilege of participating in his unfolding plan.Certainly we need to pray for evangelism and the spreadof the gospel. For example, Paul often exhorted thebelievers to pray for his witness to others (Colossians 4:3,4), even as he prayed for the salvation of his own people(Romans 10:1). Later, you will read examples of campusespraying for evangelism.But there are fresh winds blowing in the spiritual atmosphere of our culture. With these breezes has come openness to prayer as a common spiritual experience. The majority of people today claim prayer as part of their regularway of life. Though there is great divergence in whom theypray to and how they pray, the act of prayer can be common ground. In light of these realities, many have discovered prayer to be an effective means of outreach-prayingnot only for evangelism, but also prayer as evangelism.( 11 ) Reserved.

*PRAYER( MODES OF EVANGELISM )Sowing in prayer reapedthe blessing God had forour ministry.PPraying in front of the schoollibrary every day at 7:30a.m, forseveral months, may seem like ahard pill to swallow, but for theministry at Southern ConnecticutState University, it was the wayGod brought them together tosee more than 20 football players receive Christ!“One of the guys in our ministry is onthe football team,” staff member Christian Martin said, “and one day the coachapproached him to ask if he knew anypastors that would like to be a chaplainfor the football team.” Christian said Pastor Rick started a Bible study with theplayers on Friday afternoons, and aftera few months, more than 20 footballplayers accepted Christ into their hearts-- even the head coach gave his life tothe Lord!“When He said we reap what we sow,He meant it,” Christian said. “Sowing inprayer reaped the blessing God had forour ministry.”››*2How Can We Pray for You?One of the Bible studies at North CarolinaState went door-to-door in the dorms andasked students one simple question: “Howcan we pray for you?” They used a prayersheet to help remember all the requests. Thenext week, the group followed-up with thosewho asked for prayer with questions like“How’s your mother doing?” and “How didyou do on that test?” The group was amazedby how open people were to prayer.››3 Faithful to 5Oklahoma State is using the LighthouseStrategy (Prayer, Care, and Share) to reach thecampus. Students were challenged to comeup with five names of friends they know thatthey can pray for, care for, and share with. Forsome, it’s the first time to share with someonethey know personally.

On the prayer cards, studentscould write their first name, prayer requests,and whether they wanted someone to contactthem. Many students revealed significantthings on those prayer cards. Campus Crusadedid not post their banner above the table;they wanted to pray for their peers, not promote the campus movement.››5 Prayer CircleEvery Thursday at noon, Morgan Statestudents meet in a circle to pray at areas ofcampus that experience high foot traffic. Thispublic prayer circle is especially common andaccepted in the African-American community.Other Christian groups are encouraged to join.››6 cience and Prayer:SDo They Mix?At John Hopkins Nursing School, Campus Crusade created a partnership with Nurses Christian Fellowship and organized a prayer table.The theme was “We’d like to pray for you.”In one hour, prayer requests ranged fromconcerns regarding the war and the economy,to more personal requests about children andclasses. Snacks were also provided.( 14Reserved.) 2010, CruPress, All RightsCruPress.com

Ministry EvangelismThrough the years, Campus Crusade has been known forour intentional and strategic efforts in ministry evangelism.We have had the privilege of sharing Christ with countlesscollege students who otherwise might not have had theopportunity to consider Christ. Evangelism in the ministrymode occurs when we intentionally reach out to anotherperson with the purpose of witnessing to them (in contrastto the natural mode, in which we share with someonebecause of our relationship or natural connection). Butministry evangelism doesn’t all look the same. There arecountless examples of creative approaches, both to engagean audience and to communicate relevantly to them. Theexamples that follow will give you a taste of the creativitybeing used across campuses today.Several of the next cluster of ideas relate to evangelistic media campaigns viewable, and downloadable, atescmedia.org (see p. 94).

San AntonioCollege tapped into the electronic culturewith a cell phone outreach, thanks to onestudent’s unlimited calling plan.After two weeks of advertising, Campus Crusade students set up a table witha pop-up tent and blown-up versionsof the flyers hanging off the side. Signswere also posted saying, “Free Cell PhoneCalls Anywhere in the US” and “Call yourGrandmother.”Before making their call, studentswho came to the table were asked to gothrough a customized survey that included the question, “If God called in onyour cell phone, what is one question youwould like to ask Him?” Students andstaff shared the “Knowing God Person-ally” booklet and three students trustedChrist during the outreach!››*8 Target Areas RevisitedIn our niche society, the University of NorthernColorado avoids campus-wide evangelismevents. Instead, they focus on communitygroups, like students in the theatre program.Bible studies each have a vision/outreachleader, and each of the groups owns a targetarea. These leaders chart the course for developing relationships with the students in theirspecific target area and organize outreachesthroughout the semester. Rather than bringingin major speakers, the ministry pours energyand attention into the small groups, helpingthe students learn the art of sowing seedswith those they see every day.››9 Broken Art ShowStudents at the Maryland Institute College ofArt in Baltimore held an art show under thetheme of “Broken.” The students reservedthe gallery and arranged all the art.

Simultaneously, students and staff members wore“Real Life” T-shirts with EveryStudent.compublicized on them. The messages at theweekly meetings were also coordinated withthe campaign.

Natural EvangelismThroughout the day, our paths naturally intersect the livesof many individuals. These natural connections providemany opportunities to be a witness for Christ. For staffmembers, as outsiders in the campus community, naturalopportunities are harder to come by. For students, as insiders, they abound. Often these connections come as divineappointments, when God orchestrates the circumstancesto bring two people together. But in many ways we can beintentional at both fostering relationships and creating theenvironment in which significant conversations about thegospel occur.( 21 ) Reserved.

*NATURAL( MODES OF EVANGELISM )We have asked students onlyto live in relational and bodylife and the only time we doministry evangelism is fortraining purposes.WWe continue to emphasize being intentional with relationalevangelism. We have had twosemesters worth of Lighthousestrategy training and we are seeing students come to faith sometimes as long as a year aftersomeone initiated with them.To make it practical, we take an aspectof the Lighthouse strategy (prayer, care,share) over one semester. Each month isa mode where one part of the strategy isemphasized. For example, the first monthis spent in prayer. Praying for peoplespecifically and praying for opportunities to relate and share with them. Thesecond month is the month of caring. Wespend time brainstorming ways to communicate care, how we can do randomacts of kindness and we revisit howthings are going every two weeks. Thethird month we focus on opportunitiesto share with the people that we’ve beenpraying and caring for.Most of the relationships take muchlonger than three months to build. Wekeep a poster board of names of all thestudents we’re praying for as a visualreminder. We have asked students tofocus on relational evangelism and theonly time we do ministry evangelism isfor training purposes. Our desire is toposition students for a relational approachto evangelism.››*31 Book on the DeskCorner MinistryCuriosity may have killed a cat, but one NewJersey businessman figured curiosity mightalso help save someone.

Body EvangelismWhenever the body of Christ is gathered, it has the potential of being used by God as a powerful witness. A healthybody of believers is filled with love and truth, the verything people desire to experience. The environment of loveand truth not only provides an environment for believersto grow, it also provides an ideal setting for individuals tocome to Christ. This may occur in large groups and small. Itmay occur in planned meetings or informal social gatherings. Ministries across the nation are discovering how toopen the doors of their community to allow outsiders toenter and experience the love and truth of Christ flowingthrough the witness of the body.( 27 ) Reserved.

It was cool thatthey knew we wereaccepting them.AAt Saddleback College,Campus Crusade is seen in theeyes of non-believers as being more of a club rather thana ministry. However, studentsthis year accelerated their evangelism efforts through club-toclub contacts.In December, with final exams onlyhalf a week away, Campus Crusade students scheduled a party/outreach.The strategy was to have an all-campus showing of the movie EXTREMEDAYS (a Christian film) on a Wednesdayevening in the middle of campus. Anumber of students from the Poetry Club,including its president, attended theCampus Crusade event. The Poetry Clubis known as a very secular and morallyliberal group, with many of its membersalso involved with the Pagan Club.Sarah Moor, Campus Crusade studentleader, shares, “There was cool fellowshipgoing on. It was cool that they knew wewere accepting them.”EXTREME DAYS was a hit with almosteveryone present. After the showing,the Poetry Club members invited theCampus Crusade students to their 9PMpoetry reading.Campus Crusade student leader, MikeMorabito, attended the reading and comments, “Their poetry had a lot to do withtheir spiritual hunger and search.”Sarah Moor brimmed with excitementas she described the more over archingeffects of the evangelistic movie outreach:“We had felt this weird kind of oppression on campus towards us from some ofthe Poetry Club and Pagan Club members. We had heard that they liked us asindividuals, but that as a group there issomething about Campus Crusade thatoppresses them.” Moor continues, “Theyseemed surprised that we wanted to hangout with them.”*MORE BODY EVANGELISM IDEAS ››( 29 ) Reserved.
