College Ministry Resources
God has blessed our team with the opportunity to put out some resources that other college ministry leaders are finding helpful. Below are some links to conference messages, resources and articles. Director Paul Worcester is the coauthor of a new edition of The Fuel and The Flame: Igniting Your Life & Your Campus For Jesus Christ, started the Campus Multiplication Network, and is an editor and writer for Campus Ministry Today & CollegeMinistry.com. You can find resources from these organizations below, along with podcasts Paul co-hosts with Steve Shadrach and Shane Pruitt. Contact us with any questions and let us know how you are using these tools! You can follow Paul on Twitter for additional information.
The next generation is the now generation. They're not just the future of the church, but they're the church today. So what will it take to reach them with the gospel? Next Gen on Mission is a podcast designed to equip you to reach, disciple and mobilize the next generation.
This podcast with Paul Worcester and Steve Shadrach focuses on interviewing ministry leaders who have had major impacts on their campuses and throughout the world for Jesus! The goal of this is to build a global community of church-based and campus-based workers focused on reaching, discipling, and sending out the next generation of Christian laborers to change the world for Jesus Christ.
This network provides training and coaching for collegiate ministry leaders who desire to accelerate evangelistic momentum, multiply disciples and plant new ministries. Our prayer is that God will use this network of leaders to plant new ministries on college campuses until there is no campus left without a multiplying gospel movement.
