Hello, we hope you are enjoying the first several weeks of the semester.
As the activities of fall continue, we want to reach lost students with the good news of Jesus Christ. This is so vital to our mission and the students on our campuses who need Jesus.
Many of you have evangelistic materials and resources you can distribute on your campus. In most cases, now (the first few weeks of the fall) is the best time to use them. Set up your table in a high traffic area (like the Student Union, Campus center, dining hall, etc.) during a peak time (like just before and during lunch). Another good time to give them out is during an student activities or club fair.
While giving resources out, make sure you ask students to fill out some sort of survey or response mechanism before giving them a free music download card, candy or other item. If they don't want to fill anything out still give them the items you are offering but for those who do fill out a survey, you can get in touch with them afterwards either by phone or email to let them know about upcoming events and activities. You can also respond to their interest level depending on how they fill out the questionaire. You can go to the godsquad website to utilize a survey http://www.godsquad.com/evangelism/surveys.htm or http://www.godsquad.com/evangelism/quest.htm . Please feel free to copy these to use on your campus.
When students you meet express their interest in hearing more about the gospel it would be best to contact them personally and set up a time to get together with them to talk. Opportunities like this are so great, don't pass them up! If someone indicates a strong interest in hearing more about the claims of Christ, make them a top priority to meet with over a soda or cup of coffee in the Campus Center. While there, go through something like the 4 Spiritual Laws or Knowing God Personally which contains a 4 point outline of the gospel (let me know if you want more info on this).
"I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile." Romans 1:16
Sharing the Good New of Christ is what we are all about, don't miss out on the opportunity to have God's power working through you to bring the gospel to lost students this fall!
As a ministry, please pray for opportunities to share your faith and that lost students would believe in Christ on your campus this fall!
Trusting God for great things

Our Evangelism team used surveys last semester to start conversations with people. It worked for us and I think we used one from godsquad. We may have modified it a little, actually. Anyway, that's one way we use surveys.
