We Need to Reach Them!

Four out of five teenagers today think about their future several times a week. / Author Josh McDowell

In college, [Christian students] are assaulted by secular relativism, and if we don't prepare them, they will be like lambs led to slaughter. / Chuck Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship

The average [person] makes seven major decisions in their life. At least five of them are begun in college. / U.S. Department of Labor

The university is a clear-cut fulcrum with which to move the world . . . More potently than by any other means, change the university and you change the world. / Charles Malik (1906-1987), President of the UN General Assembly

The university is a clear-cut fulcrum with which to move the world . . . More potently than by any other means …

Why Reach Students?

Students are in their stage of life where they develop lasting values and make life-long decisions as a

person. By reaching the students in our

campuses, we offer them an opportunity of a lifetime to

encounter Jesus and make the most important decision of their

lives.

HARVEST

Our young people today are battered by life’s pressures and

problems more than ever. Broken families, peer pressure, issues on

sexuality and unwise living are some of the issues students may have to face every single day. By

reaching the students in our campuses, we offer new hope through Christ and help them

succeed in life.

NEED

Our students today will become tomorrow’s workforce, leaders

and family builders. By reaching and discipling our students towards Christ-likeness and

excellence, we are sending them out as “salt and light” in the

marketplace and in our society through time.

INVESTMENT

The social, scientific and spiritual theories of today’s campuses will become the accepted norm for

tomorrow’s grade’s schools, businesses and television

program. What Philippines is and what it will become is directly

related to what happens to this generation’s students.

INFLUENCE

Jesus has commissioned no other agency to “go and make disciples of all nations” but the Church. It is

only the Church who is accountable to carry out Christ’s command. Only an empowered local church can produce Christ-

like students mobilized for ministry and missions.
