Consider the following:

1. After I received Christ.

What are specific changes and illustrations about the changes Christ has made in my life, actions, and attitudes?



How am I motivated differently?



2. Pick a theme or central idea that runs through the changes you have seen.

My theme is: _____________________________________

3. Before I received Christ.

What was my life like in the area of my theme? What were my attitudes, needs, problems?



How did those things I used to count on begin to disappoint me?



4. How I received Christ.

When was the first time I heard the gospel? How? (When was I exposed to true Christianity?)


What were my initial reactions?


When did my attitude begin to change? Why?


What were the final struggles that went through my mind just before I accepted Christ?


Using your answers to the questions above, write your story in the order it happened:

What was my life like before I received Jesus Christ?


How did I come to receive Christ?


What happened after I received Christ? How did my life change?

What they’re saying about Cru

“It was really easy to get others involved. We gave an announcement at our weekly college Christian meeting and said, ‘We are looking for help to work at the local high school.’ So, we started more on a personal level with our friends and then went to a broader audience to find help from there.” — Chris McClelland, Ohio

Expansion to a new school takes a team God never intended for anyone to function alone in ministry. He sent the disciples out two by two as a model for us. As a Local Leader, you need to put together a team of folks who can partner with you to take the gospel to as many students as possible in your area.

WHO CAN BE ON THE TEAM?

Before you ask anyone to help, take a few minutes to think through what you would say to them, how you would explain your ministry and the specific role you would like for them to play.

Teachers

“Coach Garland not only opened the doors for us with the football team, but also the Bowling team and the Baseball Team!” – Hung, staff

Parents

“For me learning to work with parents has been a difficult hurdle. I still look like a high school student, and not have to interact with adults. But I am realizing that connecting with parents is a big part of ministry to high school students.” – Brooke, Intern

Youth Leaders

“As a youth pastor, you realize that teenagers don’t come to you. You have to go to them. That is where The Coaching Center and Cru High School have been great. Their strategy has helped us connect with unchurched teenagers we could have never met otherwise.” – Dan, Youth Pastor

College Students

Grab some Christian friends and commit to impacting a local high school for the glory of God.

Campus Workers

Cru and other groups are a tremendous resource to you as you launch a ministry with high school students (their work with college students translates easily to yours). If you are connected to a strong campus ministry, stay connected. If not, take the initiative to make contact with them.
