Gospel in Action

The Gospel in Action (GIA) is an effort to weave the compassionate works and words of the gospel into the fabric of the Campus Ministry. Our mission is to connect Win/Build/Send movements to pressing human need, helping the spiritually and physically oppressed and bringing the hope and healing of Christ to our broken world.

The ultimate purpose of GIA initiatives is making Jesus Lord over broken people, broken places, and broken systems. Our desire is to give a watching world pictures of the power of the gospel to transform people and places, and to give them a foretaste of a Kingdom where Jesus has set everything right.

On this page, you’ll find stories, tools, and materials that will help you blend gospel declaration and demonstration together, both across the street and around the world.

All For the Glory of God

Jesus alone satisfies the deepest longings of the human heart. He alone can rescue and save. By God’s great grace, let us build movements of professors and students who give their lives to loose the chains of injustice and bind up the broken-hearted in Jesus' Name - all the while employing words to point to His supremacy and explain the saving power of His character, substitutionary death, and resurrection life. Always, our hope is for the glory of God. “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).

Honor Restored

In honor-shame cultures the main existential problem is shame: this is where the need for the gospel is most keenly felt, and where the good news of the gospel is experienced as truly good news. While many gospel tracts focus on a person’s guilt before a righteous God, this one centers on our shame before a holy God.
