Every day, we empower Christian students to spread the message that you are meant for more. Today, on World Suicide Prevention Day, this message feels especially poignant. While the Bible doesn’t promise that a life with Jesus will be free from sickness and pain (until Heaven), it does make it clear that every single person is known, loved, and cherished by God. In fact, He loves each of us so much that He sent His son, Jesus Christ, to give his life for us, that we might hav...e the hope of Heaven (John 3:16). If you want to learn more about who Jesus is and how much he loves you, we invite you to chat with someone who understands at the link in our bio. If you are in need of more urgent help, please do not hesitate to call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. You are irreplaceable. Your life has a purpose. You are meant for more. #worldsuicidepreventionday #meantformore2020 #suicideawareness #depression #mentalhealthadvocate #iheartnsp #youthministry #jesuscares #groundwire #livechat

This Friday is the start of our Meant for More Month of Prayer! This time each year we gather as a community and commit to praying daily for this mission. It’s a powerful way to prepare our hearts for the school year ahead and take time to connect with the Lord before all the busyness starts. Want to join in? Text NationalPrayer to 24-365 to receive daily prayer request reminders throughout the month!

While many schools remain closed or restricted this year, we want you to know that our vision to see a student-led, church supported campus awakening to the love of Christ at every public school has not changed. And God is still advancing His gospel. Our theme verse this year is Philippians 1:12. Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happenedhas actually served to advance the gospel. We are praying that God will use our present circumstances to advance the gospel as He did for Paul. While on-campus outreaches aren’t possible for our students at this time, we are excited to see them grow as they lean into other strategies for reaching their peers for Christ. Which of these strategies makes you most excited??

It was such an immense privilege for our staff to hear directly from Josh McDowell this morning. McDowell is a longtime friend and co-laborer of our founder and CEO, Warren Willis, and our entire team was blessed by his godly wisdom to us all as we began day 4/5 of Summer Leader Training 2020. We especially loved his perspective on listening to the stories of those that we share the gospel with. Thank you, Josh D. McDowell (Ministry) for joining us today!
