Reaching the Campus Tribes
Posted on April 16th, 2009 3 commentsLast year I had the chance to meet a guy named Benson Hines. He took a year to travel to nearly 200 college campuses to see what God was up to, and one of his stops was Stanford University. We met and talked shop for a while and have stayed in touch via Facebook since then.
Benson has just written a free book called Reaching The Campus Tribes
miss march aka playboys online download
about his observations. His central thesis: college ministry is a whole lot more like foreign missions than it is like youth ministry
.
It’s going to be fully available next Monday at http://reachingthecampustribes.com/
. For now, there’s a prerelease version you can download (pdf link, 4.2 MB).
Benson also has a blog: Exploring College Ministry. Check it out.

I don’t see how anyone could read pages 90–93 in the ebook about the challenges facing incoming college students and not be convinced of their need to become a college minister.

No kidding, Marc. For that matter, I never understand why college ministry isn’t the default option for new ministers testing out their call.
