ONE
Knowing these things, we can all agree that public schools are the largest mission field in the USA. Twelve percent of students attend church, 95 percent attend school. Do the math.What do we do then? What is our role? You and I are not there 8 hours a day. We are fortunate if we are allowed to each lunch there weekly, do a devotion here and there, and attend the school functions.Our responsibility is to raise-up Campus Missionaries out of our groups and give them the resources to be successful.Campus Missionaries are students who care about their friends and others who walk the halls of their campus every day. Campus Missionaries have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. They are interested in seeing Jesus have an impact on their campus and in the people they influence. Campus Missionaries are willing to do whatever they can to see that Jesus is represented on their campus. Fellow student ministers we need your help Jesus said in Luke 10:2 that the work is plentiful but the workers are few.
ParentsThese are adults who are watching and cheering on the game. Up front, these parents are dedicated to praying and supporting the students as they work to minister to their campus. Behind the scenes, these parents are waking their son/daughter up early for practice,rearranging schedules, encouraging when the "game" doesn't go well, and running the booster club. Putting fan in the stands is really an easy task when their kid is passionate about playing in the game. Most parents are asking how they can be involved in impacting their student's school.

This is something I feel God has laid on my heart for the school year in 2009 -2010. This ministry has branched out to South Carolina, Detroit and two churches in Mississippi. I am thrilled that God has allowed this to not just impact the students here in Decatur but all over the World.
It is called ONE and it is an outreach method we will do through the Student Ministry. The whole month of August and September we will be focusing on how the Bible commands us to do this. Students I pray, that you will get behind this vision to reach ONE person for Christ this year. Imagine that if every ONE in our student ministry invested an entire school year in ONE unchurched person in their school what could happen.1. A person would be in the kingdom of God
2. Our student ministry would double in size in ONE year
3. We would be fulfilling our commandment in the great commission. Please pray with me, I know this is what God wants us to do as a Student Ministry. Not only will this be an opportunity to share Christ with someone but it may even develop friendships for a lifetime.

This is another ministry that our student ministry is going to be a part of. As aParent, I know that you are passionate about reaching this generation with the love and message of Jesus Christ.
What do we do about the students who will never EVER come to a church or church sponsored event? These students are also known as... the majority. On average, 12 percent of students attend church. Your numbers may spike to 20 percent if you are in the Bible belt. Don't believe me? Talk to the churches in your community and run the numbers. It will shock and motivate you. I did, and it was dead on. 8,000 students in decatur and we are effectively reaching 2,500 of them....
