How to Bring Hope: A Band of College Campus Missionaries, with Mike – EM169

Transforming an entire ministry can take a lot of work, and our guest, Mike (or “Puck” for short) experienced this first hand. As a ministry leader on a college campus, he realized the need to change the organization from a typical ministry to a “band of missionaries.” The focus shifted from having services for Christian students to sharing the Gospel with those who don’t know Christ.Through the difficult changes and adjustments, Puck has seen God work in many ways. Not only has this transition impacted the students on campus, but also Puck himself. In the interview, he shares about his spiritual growth through this process. Because of his and the students’ obedience, more people have had the opportunity to hear about the goodness of God and His Gospel of hope.What we talked about00:24 – Episode information and prayer requests02:22 – Introduction02:56 – Praying for laborers in the harvest03:57 – What is No Place Left?06:14 – Relying on the Kingdom principles08:16 – Walking through a time of difficulty11:54 – Coming to see obedience as an adventure14:13 – Doing Ministry Well14:56 – Becoming a band of missionaries19:14 – Breaking the system like a bull in a china shop25:47 – Ignoring the numbers and seeing the hearts32:39 – Foundational Missions Leadership Moment ad32:57 – Marketplace matters35:09 – Surrounded by the nations37:10 – Internet and book resources38:53 – Parting adviceResources & Contact InfoFour Fields of Kingdom Growth by Nathan and Kari Shank (free PDF download from Movements.net)
