Campus Renewal

I’ve been a reading beast since I got back from Cornell, kind of ironic huh? I’ve blazed through two books, on my third, and reading bible and devotions everyday. And it’s only the third week since i’ve been back. if only i was this studious during the school year with my own textbooks. lol

So the first book I finished reading was Campus Renewal by Justin Christopher. I honestly recommend this book first and foremost to all my fellow leaders in COAH. I also highly recommend this to all Fellowship leaders everywhere. And of course, I also recommend this to all believers who have a passion for seeing the campus united as the body of Christ and are excited about trusting the Lord with that dream. 

There’s a lot of good stuff in this book. It’s the main book published by Campus Renewal Ministries, whose goal is not to have it’s own fellowship but its mission is to unite campus ministries together as the body of Christ to transform the entire campus through the gospel. They work with churches and fellowships on campuses to unite them to a common vision and helps them work together towards that. I believe that this is where we as COAH should be working towards.

Lemme give you a run down of the chapters in this awesome book.
