I’m often asked, ‘What are you going to be doing on campus?’

<Share about your specific roles with the church/ministry>

(ex. 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.)

Tip

 Communicate general activities and ministry responsibilities and why they are important. Be sure to share your goals and passion with them. Possibly use a story to help communicate the impact your role can have.

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.

But Mr. Jones, I can’t do this alone. Because I am Reliant.

I am Reliant on the Lord for everything. And I am Reliant on people like you to team up with us at <university> to make these things posssiblepossible.

Students can’t afford to support the ministry of <org/church>; they can barely afford college. We need others who believe in us and our call to reach students like those at <University>.

Romans 10:14 states, ‘How can they call upon Him in whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without a preacher? And how can one preach unless he is sent?’ At <church>, we’re convinced of God’s call and are willing to do our part, but we need others on our ministry team to make this ministry happen.

Let me give you an analogy from Exodus 17. Maybe you remember the story. Moses, Aaron and Hur were overlooking a battle between the Amalekites and Israel. When Moses had his hands raised Israel would begin to prevail. But when his arms dropped from being tired, Israel would start to lose. Aaron and Hur, seeing that he was weak, held Moses arms and ultimately Israel won.

Who won the war? The soldiers? Moses? Aaron and Hur? It took a team working together to see victory. We see a team as a partnership that can make a difference in <location>.

Mr. Jones, let me tell you how you can help and be part of the team.

As I mentioned during our phone call, there are four ways we have often received help in our ministry.

We need true intercessors who will commit to praying regularly for <organization/church,> and our ministry at <University>. Some people are in a position to volunteer time or other goods and services, either directly in ministry or by assisting behind the scenes.

Another way we’ve been helped is, just as Mr. Smith suggested I get in touch with you thinking you might share our concern for students, there may be others you know who would love to hear about our ministry.

Lastly, a regular way we’ve been helped is through the generous giving of others. I’d like to ask you to consider giving to Reliant to partner with us in this way.
