Chapter 1: God's Vision for Your Campus

As a new chapter leader, your mind quickly turns to the details of the chapter. As an Exec member, you spend a lot of time planning large group meetings, discussing crisis situations, evaluating small groups, trying to raise funds, and so forth. Usually, you don't think beyond the next couple of weeks or the next month.

Chapter leaders often contract that dreaded disease known as tunnel vision. Too often you see all of the problems before you and none of the possibilities.

God is at work on your campus. He has a vision for your chapter and your university. You can rejoice that God is all powerful. No matter what the obstacle, God can overcome it. You need to be encouraged by all the possibilities of campus ministry.

Before you can understand God's vision for your campus, you need to understand the importance of the university in the United States and the influences on college students today.
