The VITAL LINC
Strategy
- There are 56,000 junior and senior high schools in the country.
- Fewer than 10,000 of those campuses have been adopted as a place of outreach by a church
or para-church ministry.
- 88 percent of all junior and senior high school students are not attending church.
- If 85-90 percent of those who respond to the gospel do so before they turn 19,
how will the body of Christ reach out to this most responsive group?
- If 88 percent of teens are not in the church, how are we going to share Christ
with them?
- Since they are on the campuses, how is the church going to reach the campus?
The answer to your church's response to this
dilemma may well be VITAL LINC. VITAL LINC is the expansion strategy of Student Venture,
the high school division of Campus Crusade for Christ. Student Venture has been developing
proven strategies and training materials for more than 30 years. The same evangelism and
discipleship initiatives that have characterized Campus Crusade for Christ and Dr. Bill
Bright since 1951, take on a "Generation X" approach as Student Venture helps
you or your church reach teens through VITAL LINC.
It is our conviction that within 10 miles of
every campus in the country, God is at work in the heart of at least one individual who
would be willing to adopt that campus for ministry, if only they knew how. We desire to
empower community people (through training and materials) to develop ministries of
evangelism and discipleship which would draw students to Christ on their campuses.
If you join the VITAL LINC team, you will be
assigned a coach who will direct you, by way of weekly phone appointments, through each
step of the process. Let VITAL LINC lay out a ministry that will be the beginning of
an ongoing strategy to place your people where the action is in junior and senior high
ministry -- the local campus!
