No Student Sent to College Alone!

April 2023 Core Actions to Jump-start DFW

We are working with Movement DFW and National Network of Youth Ministries to encourage 20 to 40 churches and a number of Christian Schools to jump-start DFW in April so that it becomes normal for no student to start college alone, but succeed with a team on mission.   Please indicate your Church's or School's commitment to take the core actions below by emailing john.decker@everystudentsent.org and reubanks@nnym.org.   We will take this commitment to the Movement DFW team, and get back to you with directions before you take these steps

Youth Group Content

Powerful content from ESS and national influencers is broken into 5 to 9-minute videos and is great for Youth Group meetings.

  • Share some of the videos above, encourage them to log onto Every Student Sent and create a profile. Talk about your own college experience.  Assign them to check out and follow groups at universities and be ready to discus that next week.
  • Go to Courses, and pick some episodes to show in Youth Group.  Most are 5-9 minutes. Suggestions are:
    • Segments from the Thrive Course. Watch one or more discuss as a group.
    • Sent 2021 Training.  Great national leaders.  Yasmin Pierce's video is an exciting start.
    • Mobilized for Mission - This session on stories of revival is very encouraging
