This video gives a wee overview of some of the inspiring developments in PAOC campus ministry. We have the expertise, the passion and resources. When we can bring it all together... truly amazing things can happen.
A couple of points to be made here.
First, while we do not want to "oversell" ourselves, it is important to celebrate what God is doing in our midst. There should always be a combination of gratitude and a sense of holy discontentment - recognizing that there is so much more to be done. I hope that the video brings that across.
Second, our role as a national group varies depending on the context. With most of the new starts Campus Mission Canada has been directly involved. With others, not as much. They have been the initiative of individuals, churches and/or districts. And that is simply fantastic. What we do not do is try to bottleneck everything administrationally ( is that actually a word?) but to support and network these campus ministries where at all possible. What that does is help create a genuine synergy as fresh vision comes on stream and connects with experience and wisdom.
I love it when our campus tribe gets together. It is like inhaling pure oxygen. It keeps me young. And again, I love the fact that we have some of the finest young leaders anywhere. The future of the Church is in good hands.
Finally, I do not want to engage in prophetic rhetoric. But I have a real excitement that we are in fact on the threshold of a MOVEMENT , an unfolding missional story that God is telling even at this moment. And it is humbling to be a part of it.
