When I was in campus ministry I always felt like an ex-pat outsider. The university didn’t quite know what to do with me and the church didn’t either. Proverbial rock and a hard place. I enjoyed campus ministry before they pulled the plug on it (no $).

It would be worth investigating to see how that has worked.

I believe campus based ministries are THE most critical, pivotal missional contexts for the formation and deployment of disciples of Jesus in North American culture, bar none.

What Rob is doing is one case in point– and there are many, many others,

A key challenge, as you note, is that the vision of campus ministry that many who “pay the bills” (i.e. older boomer and up conference members) remember or idealize has little to do with its actual potential. Babylon has fallen (Revelation 19 gets this exactly right!). It isn’t and can’t be about big numbers, but massive individual and community impact. This is what I know you and many others I know in campus ministry and have known in the past two decades have generated multiple models for doing in all sorts of ways. It’s a veritable flowering of discipling and missional deployment out there– and I can’t stop telling that story.

So keep the ferment alive. Keep developing and cultivating new funding streams– as Rob and you and others are. Don’t become dependent on donor dollars only from folks who don’t and likely won’t get the vision and potential you really have to fulfill this Church’s stated mission– discipling people in the way of Jesus who is making all things new!

Peace in Christ,

Taylor Burton-Edwards
