Movements Ignite at Hastings College

Last night I was in Hastings and saw how God is moving in amazing ways on the campus of Hastings College. Over two years ago the leaders of three Christian organizations on campus came together and began to strategize how the could work together to impact their campus. The problem at Hastings College was that students were too busy to have time to reach their campus. The week was filled with a Monday Night large group Bible study, Tuesday was the Campus Crusade weekly meeting, Chase met on Wednesday, and FCA on Thursday.

After two years of casting vision and prayer the leaders of the three organizations merged into one that they called Ignite. The results this Fall have been powerful. The weekly meeting of Ignite draws 80-120 students, and lives are being impacted. There is a sense of momentum and excitement from having a critical mass of students working together who are seeing students around them make decisions for Christ. Today the organization is building multiple movements of Bible studies with a goal of starting a Bible study in every dorm, and a vision of having a Bible study on every floor of every dorm to put the gospel within arms-reach of every student on campus.
