No Student in America starting College Alone
Read why these leaders say ESS is critical for America
The national movement to send every high school student to college with a team of friends and leaders in order to reverse the 70% college faith drop-off and multiply disciples at universities and beyond.
The National Coalition to reverse the 70% drop-off and double believers on campus

Josh McDowell - CRU / Josh McDowell Ministry
“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.”
Mark Gauthier - Exec Dir., CRU
“I want to encourage you as you think about your transition to a college campus to think about how you’re going to develop spiritually. We want to encourage you to connect up with Every Student Sent. It’s a resource to help you connect up with a vibrant Christian community. That will make all the difference in your life of what God has in store for you.”
Jason Thomas - Exec Vice President, Intervarsity
“Don’t do the college experience alone. Plug into community. A great way to do that is to check out Every Student Sent for communities that already exist on your campus. Think about the university as a place God’s calling you to serve and love the campus with a group of believers together. Every Student Sent is a great way to find out what God is doing there and inviting you into.”
Bob Shank - The Masters Program & Barnabas Group:
"Your mission is addressing a massive pain-point that should be on the mind of every Christian parent getting ready to hand the custody of their next gen family off to the college/university cabal who have designs to derail the biblical values and worldview instilled by their family of origin. Your presentation was compelling and clear; just the kind of collaborative ministry initiative that can draw the partnership of the insightful Kingdom leaders who gather under the TBG banner. May God continue to expand your impact footprint across the American cultural frontiers, where the battle for young minds and eternal souls is underway."
Kevin Palau - City Gospel Movements, Luis Palau Ministries
“It's wonderful to see the church working together in city after city in what we call a City Gospel Movements. Keeping our students engaged in the college years so they come out on fire for the Lord is one of the most important things we can possibly do and Every Student Sent is the best tool that I’ve seen that can help us do that!”
York Moore - CCO, InterVarsity & Every Campus
I believe that a way God is going to move in power in these coming days is with incoming freshmen. Waiting for students to be found by campus ministries is the old way. We now have an opportunity with Every Student Sent to connect with incoming freshmen before they land on campus. I encourage your college students to share this with their home churches so we don’t have any students left behind.
Paul Worcester - NAMB and Baptist Collegiate Ministries
I love the vision of making this handoff. My heart breaks for the average student coming to campus. This app provides a way to show up to the campus already connected and with a vision for living on mission. The app has training to start disciple-making movements into every club and corner on campus.
Shane Pruitt - SBC, North American Mission Board
My heart is for Gen-Z graduating out of high school. The most effective people at reaching a college student is another college student. Every Student Sent helps prepare incoming freshmen to do so with their peers.
Yasmin Pierce - Circuit Riders/YWAM
Every Student Sent is an incredible platform we need at this time. The beginning of the year is such a key time for students to get connected. New (pre-Christian) students are trying determine what life is all about and it’s a time of ripe harvest. With ESS, you can connect with other believers and get resourced with biblical material. We're going to see the church grow and non-believers come into faith. Let you friends know.
Ronnie Floyd - Southern Baptist Convention President
.What breaks our heart is when we see students not carry their faith forward. You need to consider being a part of EveryStudentSent.org. You can upload all your students and literally expose them to collegiate ministries and churches who have all partnered together. This has the potential to change the world.
Nick Hall - Pulse, Table Coalition, Together
“Whether you are a student heading off to college, a parent, or church leader, you need to know about Every Student Sent. While many stats talk about a generation walking away from faith once they step foot on a university campus, I believe that college can and should be some of the best days of your faith journey! For that to happen, making the right spiritual connections is crucial, and that’s where Every Student Sent comes in. Hop on the site and learn about some exciting opportunities to connect with others and grow in your faith long before that first day on campus. Don’t just go to college, be a change agent for Jesus!”
Darin Poe - Assemblies of God Youth Ministries
"Assemblies of God Youth Ministries is excited to partner with Every Student Sent. We have the same mission - to connect every high school graduate going away to college to a campus ministry and church. ESS has the strategy and created a space to make this happen. Check out this website, register your church to participate, communicate to parents, and make sure your students sign up/ The end result will be a win for the Kingdom of God!
Brian Barcelona - Jesus Clubs | One Voice Student Missions
"Use this digital space to catalyze ministry in-person. See Brian speaking here in one our ESS Courses. God has used Brian to create tremendous movements that change high schools as seen in his Jesus Clubs book and is now using social media to reach Gen Z.
Pastors
Jeremy Taylor -Former High School Dir., Black Rock Community Church
Black Rock Community Church used to experience the typical 70% loss as their students were graduating. “Last year I had all of my high school students participate…All were greatly challenged to be spiritually ready for college. Most were blown away by the idea that their first 72 hours at college were the most important in staying strong in their faith. As they have started college, they say that much of what they learned was true about their first days at college. Many of them were plugged into campus ministries quickly because of this. The result? All of our graduates continued in their faith!” See Video
Pastor Greg Turndrup - Gateway Church, Dallas TX
“I want to encourage you to use a tool that is so important in placing high school students when then graduate into a good university environment. Every Student Sent is providing the missing link in the hearts of so many parents and pastors. How do we take these precious high school kids and send them off to a campus environment and ensure that they will have a good spiritual experience and come home full of faith? This is the right tool for you!” See Video
Business Leaders
Guy Rodgers -Pinnacle Forum, prior President
"As a business leadership ministry president, central to what I do is to help Christian leaders discover and live out their unique God-callings within what are known as the Seven Mountains of Culture. Of great concern to me is the data revealing how many Christian teens abandon church and any semblance of a walk with Christ within a few years of attending college. Every Student Sent is a historic coalition of college ministries, youth ministries, denominations and business groups focused on helping college-bound teens survive this transition to college and discover their God-callings for life and service after college. I believe this effort will greatly expand the number of Kingdom-minded college graduates and is essential to God’s working at this time in our society." Pinnacle Forum & ESS
DFW Initiative

Rick Eubanks - NNYM Texas Coordinator/NxtMove Implementaion
Every Student Sent is one of the most strategic tools I've seen for helping students stay strong in their faith and live on mission after graduation. It's not just another program -- it's a movement that connects churches, schools, and campus ministries so that every student knows they're sent by God right where they are.
Chase Durham - Student Pastor Cottonwood Creek, Allen TX
It grieves our hearts every time we receive a phone call from a college freshman who passionately followed Jesus in high school but has now drifted into the patterns of the world. Each call reminds us how desperately we need to equip graduating seniors to launch into college with a firm foundation of faith. Every Student Sent is the tool we have been praying for to help us equip our graduates. This platform will help high school students find a solid Christian community before they ever set foot on a college campus. Helping students connect with a Christian community is one of the keys to a student following Christ throughout college, and Every Student Sent is helping make that happen!
