Today, David joins us to talk about casting a vision for multiple campuses in one area and having a heart for that city. David is the director of a campus ministry called Challenge in San Diego.

Notable Points:
- Our goal should be to fill the world and specifically our ministry field with the Gospel.
- Just filling one room is too small of a vision. Expand to campuses or community within close driving distances. (3:30-7:50)
- Do this by doing mission work in the surrounding area of your campus.
- When you go there God may give you a heart for that area. (5:30)
- Continue to tell your students your vision for the area to the point that they are sick of your vision. (10:00-12:45)
- If you want a bigger staff then you should have a bigger vision.
- Is my vision bigger than my current staff?
- Don’t put God in a box with your vision, but still use wisdom when expanding
- Do this by doing mission work in the surrounding area of your campus.
- Your style of ministry may only reach a certain type of person (13:00-15:00)
- This may make it easier to reach people on a different campus.
