TCX 2011: FUSED

Here's a little promo video for our largest student conference, TCX. We're trusting the Lord to move in the hearts of this generation of college students. We're trusting He will use this conference to impact lives and advance His Kingdom. Will you trust the Lord for this with us?

Why College Students?

It was during his college years that CS Lewis learned what it meant to believe in Christ.
It was during his college years that Karl Marx shed his Christian faith.

The campus is a battleground of ideas and ideologies, vying for dominance and competing for followers. Everyone will graduate as believers, but in what?

It isn’t a question whether tomorrow’s leaders are on the campus, or even a question whether these leaders will shape and influence our country and world. The question is who will shape and influence them? The old watchword of Campus Crusade for Christ was, “win the campus today and you’ll win the world tomorrow.” Almost every major political, athletic, social, military and religious leader will pass through either the high school or college campus. To reach them with the gospel is to effectively reach the world.

The campus ministry of Cru targets students, because it is the time they make the most decisions in their lives. It is the small window of time where individuals are open to changing their ideas, beliefs and perceptions of the world. This is the reason roughly 90% of all Christians made their decision for Christ before they reached the age of 21.

The fact is, no one thought up the strategy of fulfilling the Great Commission by reaching the college campus. Campus ministry is the result of the observation that God has chosen to use University and college students like you as His primary vehicle in accelerating the evangelism of the world. The campus ministry is the heart of God’s global missionary strategy.

Someday

The word 'someday' can leads us down dangerous paths. We begin to set aside our dreams and hopes for some day in the future when we'll have more money or time or just plain have it all together.

There are two sides to the someday coin. While we let someday dissuade us from our dreams, we also let the hope of someday keep us from reality. If we begin to actually pursue our dreams, we may end up being crushed anyway, so if we don't try, at least we can say we didn't fail.

In the words of one of my favorite musicians, even a fool will tell you, someday never comes.
