I have been praying for you as you begin a new school year – I have been especially praying that God is showing you His plans for being His messengers of His good news to your lost classmates.  Please write back to me with specific requests of things I can be praying for as you trust Him to lead you in ministry this year!

Last year I sent you a blog about “the Evangelism Model”.   In that blog I told you how there are 3 basic modes of evangelism found in the New Testament:  the natural mode, the relational mode and the ministry mode.  I promised to send you ideas for doing ministry that fall into each mode.  The resource I am sending today is an idea for the “Ministry Witness Mode.”

www.everystudent.com is an evangelistic website hosted by Campus Crusade for Christ.  It is a place where non-believing students can go to ask questions about God.  Campus Crusade for Christ staff immediately get back to the students with answers to their questions.  Also on the site are a number of articles non-believers are generally interested in on various topics which prayerfully lead students to consider the spiritual impact of these topics in their lives.

Ninety-nine point five (99,5) percent of the students on any Russian campus are not believers.  That’s an overwhelming number.  Most of them will never have a friendship with a believer who can help them to know more about having a personal relationship with Christ.  Go to http://www.everystudent.info/ for some easy strategies to easily expose a large number of non-believers to Jesus. 

Some ways you could use www.everystudent.com:

-print out some flyers or business cards and hand them out to every student you see (see the attached document for one idea). 

-print up some posters and place around your campus every day.  Don’t get discouraged if the posters don’t stay up for very long, just make it a plan to put up a new poster every day as you go to class. 

-if you live in a dormitory make a big sign to put on the door to your room or in your window advertising the site

-if you use Facebook to connect with nonbelievers, this is a great link to send your friends to as well

In order to make the gospel known to all the students on your campus you will have to use a variety of strategies – some relational strategies (such as CoJourners) help you help those close to you understand about salvation.  Other strategies (such as www.everystudent.com) help you “sow broadly” to those with whom you will never have personal conversations.  I think this website could be a great help to you in connecting nonbelievers with others who could help to direct them to Christ.  And it’s easy!
