Today, Steve Shadrach joins us to talk about how engaging the campus strategically choosing the students you pour into can turn your ministry into a movement.

Notable Points:

• 3 Categories of Students
  • The influencers: people who have a strong network of relationships
  • Interested People: have potential and are good contributors, but are mostly followers
  • Isolated: people who do not have many relationships more loner type of person
• Typically the “person of peace” is an influencer in the area
• People typically already are in affinity groups or social groups of some sort.
  • If you find the most influential group out of all the groups and are in that group you can start a movement.
• Build trust points with the students to cultivate the relationships
  • Do life together and build the friendship naturally.
• You can start with people who are not Christians.
  • This gives you a clean slate to teach them about Jesus.
  • Affection: the friendship is natural and you like each other.
  • Direction: Where do you want to take the relationship
• How do you initially build the relationship?
  • Shadrach does a president’s group/club, where they study leadership and build friendships.
  • Find people you like from this group.
    • It is just easier to build a movement when your core group is full of people who are close relationally.
