The friends you make during the first 72 hours often determines your college trajectory. ~ The Navigators.
When students start alone on campus, 70% fall away. When connected months in advance to friends, ministries, and churches, they grow and help spark revival with their new dorm friends. See how Columbus is leading the nation.
FCA and ESS have teamed up for Columbus. Email John Decker (ESS) or Rye D'Orazio (FCA) here with any questions you have or ideas to help the region.
“When Christian college freshmen are alone, their faith rarely survives in today’s college environment. The good news is that when they’re connected in advance to campus ministries, churches, and Christian friends, they not only survive, but thrive and impact their classmates. Every Student Sent will help parents, churches, and ministries to turn the tide so this generation can now become the leaders of tomorrow.” See Josh's recent call to action and the importance of the first 72 hours on campus.
