Learn what God is doing and how we can fan the flames of this new student movement. Also be sure to check out the articles,Apostolic Passion and On Mission with God. They are sure to encourage and challenge you in your thinking and priorities. For those interested in the issue of fighting dependency check out the article, When the Mission Pays the Pastor.
