I once asked a college minister known for having a heart for discipleship to lead a seminar on that topic for a state conference for university students. The timing seemed perfect, because I knew he would be in town that weekend for a ballgame involving his school. He declined--because he said he thought few, if any, of the students from his ministry would be attending the conference.
Are you building God's kingdom or yours? Sometimes, that is a tough and uncomfortable question to answer honestly. Each of us is responsible to his or her employer. But if God has called you to college ministry, he has called you to build His kingdom--not just your campus or church ministry.
Do you think about what is best for college ministry as a whole or just yours? What have you done lately that helps--not hurts---other ministries to college students?
No particular ministry is a fit for every student. So if you are "the big show" on your campus or in your town, how can you benefit others who might touch students you would never reach? What can you do to help college ministry in your whole state or nationally? You might be surprised!
