God is moving today in
remarkable ways. The church
in China has grown to one
hundred times its size sixty
years ago. Many nonChris
tians in the Middle East are
seeing dreams o Jesus and
responding to the gospel.
What is more, ministries areincreasingly working together
to ulll the Great Commission.
We know that pleases God.
Trusting God to reach and
raise up indigenous leaders is
crucial or the churches and
mission organizations engaging
in the redemptive work o
Christ globally. Whether the
ocus is planting churches,
digging clean water wells, or
conronting human tracking,
leaders are required or these
eorts to be sustainable. We
believe many o these uture
leaders are on the universitycampuses o the world.
God has given us strategies,
training and materials to win,
build and send university
students. We have ministries in
almost ,000 student popula
tion centers in dierent
countries. But still there are
many uture leaders who have
never heard a clear, relevant
presentation o the gospel.

JOSHIt was amazing to see the hunger o Ivorian
Christians studying the Bible with us. We
would sit sometimes or several hours ollowing
and training believers to be active and bold in their aith.
rough these times o discipleship training, I learned a lot
d am excited to go back to school this all and apply what
arned about teaching scripture. I was also able to become
re grounded apologetically when talking to Muslims. Theyed tough questions and at times I was unprepared to answer
h deep questions: however, I was able to soak up and learn
m other believers around me and through Gods word.
h, Cote dIvoire Summer Project
ECKYile I initially went into the project ocused on playing
h Arican babies and just loving on them, God really
nistered to me through campus outreach. He completely
nged my perspective about evangelism and gave me a new
se o urgency or His message. What God really taught
ough campus ministry was how vital it is to depend on the
powerment o His Spirit, daily. I couldnt have gone out
d shared the gospel without being lled with the spirit.
excited to bring this mindset back to school and seed touch broken lives.
cky, Botswana Summer Project
STAGE ONE:SUMMER PROJECT
In one to eight weeks,
visiting teams o Christian
students are able to create
relationships, share the gospel,
and disciple young believers on
international campuses where
the gospel has never traveled.
They leave behind the seed o
what will become a growing
ministry on that campus.
STAGE TWO:STINT
How does this planted
mustard seed become a
growing movement? Short
term International (STINT)
missionaries were sent to
invest one or two years
cultivating what was sown over
the summer. They also provide
leadership, teaching, and
urther evangelism so that by
the time they leave, a healthy
maturing ministry is in place.
STAGE THREE:INTERNATIONALCAMPUS STAFF
Like the ministries planted
by the apostle Paul, these
movements oten lack
maturity o years, needleadership continuity,
and require someone to
make gospel inroads on
campuses elsewhere. Filling
this Timothy role are
missionaries who will dig in
and invest three to ve years,
or longer, in the culture.
STAGE FOUR:NATIONAL LEADERSHIP
In this stage o ministry, the
leadership on the campusand in the country is properly
passed on to nationals; to
those believers now mature
enough to lead the ministry intheir own country.
STAGE FIVE:PARTNERING NAT
At this stage two ve
things happen. First
nation becomes a p
in missions, sending
own students to mi
other nations. Conc
U.S. students are no
partner with new ca
other countries.

plant and grow movements
t bring the reality o Jesus
every student and every
ulty member will require
adical level o cooperation
hin the movement o
mpus Crusade or Christ,well as the greater body o
rist. As leaders in the United
tes Campus Ministry, we
rk in overlapping spheres o
ponsibility, infuence, and
pe, but with a common
and mission. All o this
essitates having agreed
on principles or working
ether and partnering. These
nciples are presented in
er to lay a oundation. Our
pe is that we will be able to
d on them and capture this
ment in history when God
given us so much, and yet,
re are so many who remain
ouched and unreached.
RELATIONSHIPS FIRST
The bedrock to eective
partnering is trusting
relationships built between
leaders over time. Trust
grows and understanding
increases as relationships arebuilt. This will take time and
money, but an investment
made in relationship builds the
oundation o trust necessary
to weather the storms o
problems and conusion
when they come. The ease or
inability to address partnership
problems is directly relatedto the quality o relationships
between leaders. Mistakes
will be made and problems
will come up, but always
there must be a commitment
to ull disclosure, not silent
toleration. Relationship
First means building trust,
communicating ully, and
honoring one another at all
times, privately and in public.
PARTNERING AS PEERS
Every leader comes to the
table as a peer and as an adult,
not oneup, or onedown. We
all view one another both in
need and with something to
oer. It is not healthy to onlysend or only receive. Learning
to humbly receive and
generously give is or growth
and maturity or each person
and each ministry. Every plan
should include ways in which
partners both give and receive
in the mission.
SHARED RESPONSIBILITYNo single entity has all the
necessary resources, but when
we work together we can
help ulll our global mission.
Shared responsibility opens
access or collaboration in
leadership expertise and
knowledge, and allows us
to learn o opportunities to
contribute that go beyond just
people and money. There is an
open handed spirit that says
to other leaders, We need
you, we cant do this alone, and
dont want to do this alone.
We arm a commitment to
strong mutual, urgent, and
specic goals and partners
should strive to that end.
MUTUAL STEWARDSHIPWe share stewardship or the
students and aculty o the
world. We are not the solestewards. Partnership means
moving rom:
Sole stewards to mutual
or shared stewardship
Personal responsibility
to shared responsibility
Autonomous working
to collaborative working
Isolated to connected
Mine to ours
Single to multiple
Independent to partnered
Insulated to communal
VALUE CONTEXTUALINSIGHTSThe strength o a global
organization grows in its
ability to regularly bring
together contextual insights,
organizational expertise,
skillsets, etc. This promotes
a great exchange o ideas and
best practices, allowing us
to truly be a ministry always
learning better ways to reach
the lost and build multiplying
disciples. This ripple eect
will be increasing the campus
ministry global eectiveness
because o regularly
embracing/implementing
contextual insights. We
approach partnering as
humble learners.
ONE VOICE-ONE PLAN
There will be conusion unless
there is a rm commitment
by the partnering leaders tospeak with a united voice.
Without this, rustration
will result or the teams and
trust will erode betweenleaders. Building bridges
o understanding between
potential partnering leaders is
an essential responsibility and
skill or the ministry leadership.
I understanding is built

In recent years, our com
mitment to the global
ulllment o the Great
Commission has led us to
an accelerated blending o
the compassionate words

Missions sent 200 students to team up with
200 Thai Cru students to work alongside
Thai villagers rebuilding their homes. AterKatrina devastated the Gul Coast in 200,

redemptive kingdom in these
needy parts o our world. That
is why were committed to
blending gospel proclamation
to university students with
social justice eorts.
We believe that the Scriptures
teach us to proclaim the great
ness o God, the excellencies
o His character, His saving
power or all peoples, and to
care or the widow, orphan,reugee, and poor. Can we join
hands in partnership or the
sake o lost students and or
those most vulnerable on
our planet?
Currently, Cru Global Mis
sions teams are connecting
campus ministry eorts with
work in the slums o Rio de

in the Dominican Republic,
community development work
in Haiti, HIV/AIDs homes in
South Arica, medical clinics in
