Notable Points:

• 21×21: trying to plant 21 churches on 21 college campuses by 2021
• Does our methodology fit our theology:
  • If we believe that the gospel is so powerful are we really acting that way.
  • What are we doing to make disciples that make disciples.
• We should plant churches that are going to eventually plant churches.
  • Allowing students to be introduced into church plants help to produce culture.
    • Have students multiply themselves as students.  This is how you teach them to eventually become church planters.
• Do we ask students to pray about church planting and being staff members in the future.
• As leaders we need to be looking at our students and being able evaluate their abilities and cast vision.
  • Don’t let your leaders set the bar low.
  • Within college there is a paradigm that students are not ready to do big things or they have to wait to start their life.
  • Help students to understand that God throughout history has used young people and college students.
• Young students may not have experience, so keep them close so you can help teach them.
• What would it look like if you identified 5-10 leaders who are freshman and laid out a vision for planting?
