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.”  Recent exhortation from Josh.

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-200x200-1
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.”

How to attract more students to your ministry

image-png-Dec-01-2023-01-14-06-8553-PM

Post what God is doing in your ministry and campus!  This not only helps your ministry but adding to the stream of how God is moving helps the nation.

  • Profiles - Encourage your student leaders and students to complete their profile along with a recognizable photo so your page is friendly and welcoming.
  • Post within your group under "Share something with your group"
  • By default, this will show up on the national feed which will give you exposure and add to the national awareness that God is moving on campuses to energize high school students
  • Use a group or other photo and some descriptive words and a link to an event if you like.  Videos are fine too.
  • Ask your student leaders to post regularly, as well as all students if you wish.  You can delete any photos in your feed and you can also set permissions within "Settings"
  • You can also use your normal Instagram/Facebook photos - but less "produced" photos of what God is doing are powerful 
  • Encourage your students to share Every Student Sent with their home youth leaders to stop the 70% college faith drop off and engage more workers for the Kingdom!

STEPS TO GET STARTED

Steps for College Ministries and Churches near Campus 

  1. Log onto www.everystudentsent.org  with your ministry email or create a new account.  Update your profile and include a photo. Use "Forgot Password" if needed.  Find your ministry on your campus. If you are shown as the "organizer" you can adjust anything with the Manage feature. If you are not an Organizer, "Follow" the group and request the Organizer to promote you to Co-Organizer.  Organizers and Co-Organizers can make any changes to the Group content including adding, or deleting users.   Search your university on ESS and see what is already there or what should be added or changed.  Email john.decker@campusrenewal.org if you have any questions.
  2. Add more Leaders - You can invite any number people and student leaders to your ESS Group team. Go to the Manage button on the bottom left of your group, where you can promote any followers to "Co-Organizers or 'Moderators".  They will receive an email message when inquiring students are reaching out and see them in the system.   Make sure your leaders include a photo of themselves. Warmly welcome students all year long.   You can update your group to add more information.
  3. Post what God is doing in your group.  Encourage students and leaders to post within your group, a photo of events and activities to encourage others of what God is doing on your campus.  These will show up in the national feed.
  4. Prepare and disciple incoming high school seniors, and encourage friendships in the ESS group so to that a community of students is ready to hit the ground running and invite other freshmen believers and non-believers to your ministry.  Organize them by dorm and academic department to multiply disciples among freshmen.  Create chat's in your group and have discussions about an episode in Courses.  Zoom is integrated. 
  5. Read below  "How you can increase the Wave of 2024 Freshmen".
  6. If you are planting on an unserved campus, we partner with Every Campus to help attract new students.  Email us at john.decker@campusrenewal.org so we can help coordinate with Every Campus.
