Christian club in need
PostPosted: Tue Aug 29, 2006 1:39 am
My school's Christian club is having a slight crisis of leadership plans. I'm not sure that the response-which is a good one by women of faith whom I respect-is all of what our school needs. Because of this, I would like to ask for your prayer for Christian leadership at my school.
The member who was elected president last spring is leaving after this semester and consequently might not be president this year. Last year when our president left mid year, we had one officer all spring semester. If no president is found/decided on, then there will be no club charter. If there is no club charter at least, then there may be a women's ministry on campus. That would be great, but that would also be it.
As I have thought about it a little, I don't like the idea of only having a women's ministry on campus. A women's ministry would be great for helping women grow, but it not only leaves out all male students. I don't feel it would have the same ability to reach out to the campus as a whole because of it's gender focus and the types of activities that would likely come from that. Since I have been in college, the MSA has always been a powerful student organization. It seems like the one that has the biggest impact at my current school. I don't want the only religious challenge for the majority of students at my school to come from politically influenced Muslim presentations. I would rather more students be challenged to live out thier faith more and grow as Christians or to consider what Christianity is about or something like that.
Now that I have explained this, I would like to ask for your prayers for leadership and clear guidance for those involved in student ministry at our school.
Thank you
