Why I Love Working With College Students

“All too frequently the Church has fallen into lethargy in relation to its world-wide obligations. But God does not leave Himself without a witness. Whether it be a Nicolas Von Zinzendorf, a Samuel Mills, a C.T. Studd, a Robert Wilder, a John Mott, a Jim Elliot or a hundred others who could be named, God singles out a man to prophesy to His church. And with remarkable frequency that man has been a student.”
—David Howard, missiologist

“The college campus is bested only by the brothel, casino, and the communist party for Most Godless Institution on the planet. Consequently, we might assume that God’s redemptive plan would have bypassed this worldly setting. But instead it has become the capital of the missionary enterprise, a commuting hub, transporting the gospel and Kingdom workers to all destinations north, south, east, and west.”
—Rick James, Campus Crusade for Christ staff, commenting on the above quote in his article “Mission Impossible”, part of the White Papers series.
