Discussion on Ownership

From Pat: were there specific actions that those leaders took to change the tide: to augment the number of cultural insiders, that in turn helped lead to stronger culture of evangelism?

WSU: CD asked 4 students to move into dorms, the next year 8, the next year 16…..

Bowling Green: CD required every student on their leadership team to also be involved in another (non Christian) organization on campus.--> not just good ideas, but they also took specific strategic next steps

Now: specific, personal actionable steps in the arena of expanding the number of student owners that you have—some ideas:

John V.: have small groups responsible for an area of campus (geographic or affinity)--built-in expectation that as a small group member, you're involved in something bigger

Matt. C: how do we involve students in formation of groups that are centered around reaching specific groups? Open up Town Meeting to whoever wants to come: not so much structure, but heart and idea level

Jim: give small groups (students not staff) the exercise of decoding the campus, using one page Decoding worksheet from Tom Virtue—reconvene, discuss, help them process more deeply with staff inputàdeepens their ownership of the Gospel on their campus or on a neighboring campus.

Under alignment category: spiritual sensitivity to others and spiritually growing—give further input on how to make this model more helpful
