Today’s colleges and universities are a strategic center of influence. Most people don’t even think of them as a mission field, but the leaders of tomorrow are on college campuses today. This is an impressionable time in the lives of young people, providing a window of opportunity for the gospel.

Mr. Jones, let me ask you a question. As a college graduate yourself and a father of two, what do you think are some of the pressures facing college-aged youth today?

I too have been in a In the campus environment where , young people are beginning to make their own decisions for the first time. The peer pressure is intense! Youth College students face a lot of problems today like depression, drugs, alcohol, pressure from their peers, sexual immorality and suicide , in an attempt to gain acceptance and fill a void. We are also seeing that more and more students do not come to campus with even a basic understanding of the gospel.

Of course, as you and I know, only a relationship with Jesus Christ can fill that void. That’s why I feel very strongly and deeply about reaching out to young people, to show them God’s love and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. I desire to help them develop a moral foundation with the hope and joy Christ has to offer.

At <University> we can reach tomorrow's leaders. Imagine if during their time at school, they not only learned how to be a good engineer or teacher or businesswoman, but they also learned about Jesus while they were there. Then, we have the opportunity to send them out into the world to influence and help others come to know Jesus.

I’m often asked, ‘What are you going to be doing on campus?’ As a missionary at <church>, I will be working to share with those who don’t know Christ and building Christians up in their walk with the Lord. This takes place through friendships, small group Bible studies, and plenty of social activities. I will also have responsibilities with church services on Sundays and continuing to learn myself by taking seminary classes.

I know I’ve been talking for a while now, I was just wondering if you had any questions about what I’ve shared so far?

Yes, actually, can you tell me more about...
Tip

STOP and see if they have questions! Now is a good time to do this so they don't get confused about anything you've said so far and are able to keep focusing on what you are going to say. Sometimes if people are confused or have questions they are thinking about that instead of focusing on you and what you are saying.
Tip

Take time to address their questions before moving on.
