Don't send your students to college alone!
The freshmen they meet during the first 72 hours on campus determine their friends and faith trajectory. Send them together with a team! It's also when non-believers are most open to the Gospel!
See this important message from Josh McDowell.
You want the best for your kids
Now you can go through this free website together with your 10th-12th grade student and start selecting colleges based on ministries and churches you can actually connect with and talk to. Connecting in advance stops the 70% faith drop off, empowers them, and gives your student ownership of the process. More students are coming to faith on college campuses than any time since the Jesus Movement. Now is season for them to gain the vision of what can happen when they go to campus with a team. Get Inspired by these Leaders!

Every Student Sent is a national coalition and unique community-based platform for preparing 10-12th grade students with a vision of connecting to college ministries, churches, and each other in order to propel them towards Gospel-centered mission as they navigate and engage culture during college. It's a movement of major college ministries, youth ministries, denominations, Christian schools, and homeschool groups to connect and prepare teens for future leadership. When you and your students register on this free platform you get full access to the features and resources including the embedded social groups of national college and youth ministries that your students can thrive in. This Homeschool page of www.EveryStudentSent.org is a jumping off spot to orient you to the features and resources.
