“None of
the churches
have their own
agenda. They just
want to see students
reached for Christ.”
Marshall Snider,
Ministries Coordinator
– City of Dallas, Oregon
The Challenge 2000 Alliance is Christian students, youth leaders,
churches and youth organizations networking their efforts to
communicate the gospel of Christ to every teenager. Our strategy
is to establish ministries of evangelism and discipleship to every
middle, junior high and high school in America by year-end 2000.
Believing in the centrality and importance of the local church to
the success of this cause, the Alliance challenges every church and
youth organization to help accomplish this goal.

1
Committed CHRISTIAN STUDENTS
as missionaries to their campus
Big Idea: Passionate determination
leads to action. Students who
capture the heart of Christ’s love
are compelled to share their faith
with others. 2 Corinthians 5:14,
Ephesians 6:19
Am I passionately pursuing a
growing relationship with Christ?
Am I consistently praying
for my friends, classmates and
family?
“My backpack is
covered with Christian
sayings like ‘God Rules.’
One of my patches
says, ‘I dare you to ask
me about Jesus.’”
Aaron Sexton, student
– Phoenix, Arizona
Am I looking for opportunities
to share my faith in Christ with
others?
Do I know how to tell others
about a relationship with Christ?
Do I have a personal plan to
reach others at my school?
Have I prayed about and
committed to the Challenge 2000
Covenant?
Be a part of a peer
accountability group encouraging others to live and
share the life of Christ?
Big Idea: There is strength,
encouragement and support in
numbers. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Am I meeting regularly with
Christian friends from my campus?
Do I have specific friends
who encourage me and hold me
accountable to live for Christ?
Am I daily encouraging my
friends and helping them be
accountable to live for Christ?
Unite with all Christian
students as the body of
Christ, to fulfill the Great
Commission at your school?
Big Idea: A group of campus
Christians divided against
themselves cannot stand.
Matthew 12:25
Do I understand the meaning
of the Great Commission in
Matthew 28:18-20?
Am I and my group of Christian
friends helping other Christians on
campus live for Christ?
Are we as students developing
ministries to reach our campus?
The next step I will take is:
Are we targeting specific
student groups on our campus
to present Christ to them?
For resources to assist you, turn to pages 14-15,18-25, 42-58, 60-62.
10
will you take the challenge to:
Pursue a passionate
commitment to Christ and
be personally involved in
campus-focused evangelism
and discipleship?
Big Idea: Spiritual leaders
personally understand and believe
that God loves them, and desire to
love and obey Him wholeheartedly.
Matthew 22:37-39
Have I made a consistent time
alone with God my top priority?
Are repentance and brokenness welcomed in my life?
Do others see the power of
God demonstrated in me?
Do I prioritize my time to
include a campus presence
and/or influence?
Do I live a lifestyle of humble
obedience to Christ and His Word?
Equip and coach students
to be Campus Missionaries
to their school as a part
of their Every School Plan?
Big Idea: Responsible leadership
equips and mobilizes students
with the skills and knowledge to
fulfill the Great Commission with
their peers. Ephesians 4:11, 12
Am I leading students to
Christ and equipping students to
lead their friends to Christ?
points of the Challenge 2000
Covenant? (see page 5)
Do our students learn how
to intentionally build relationships
for the purpose of the Great
Commission?
Do my students know how to
love their friends by serving them
at their point of need?
Am I willing to adjust what I
am doing in my ministry to what
God is doing to build His kingdom
in our community?
Am I connecting with other
youth leaders in my community
to encourage and support them
personally?
Work cooperatively with
other adult youth leaders
from area churches and
Christian organizations?
Big Idea: Humble leaders realize
that God values unity. Therefore,
they seek a greater impact by
personally cooperating with other
ministries. Psalm 133:1-3
Do I have a personal conviction
that cooperation within the body
of Christ is better than being a
“Lone Ranger”?
Do I have one or more other
adult youth leaders that I meet
with on a regular basis for
encouragement and support?
2 Committed ADULT YOUTH LEADERS as
equippers and encouragers of the students
The next step I will take is:
Does our ministry have a structure that encourages students to
disciple other students?
Have I taught students to
share their faith in Christ in a
spirit of love?
Does the training of my students encompass all the action
For resources to assist you, turn to pages 18, 30-33,42-62.
11
will you take the challenge to:
Include the Every School
Plan in your church’s
evangelism strategy?
“Spiritual awakening
does not come like
a lightning bolt out of
the blue – normally
a decade or so of
preparation precedes
a major national
revival.”
J. Edwin Orr
3
Big Idea: Exposure to God’s
heart for hurting people stirs
compassion and motivates action.
Matthew 9:36-38
Is my church aware that 75%
of those who trust Christ do so
by age 18?
Does our church recognize
that teenagers are tremendously
responsive to the gospel?
Does our church have an
evangelism strategy that includes
students on campus?
Effective LOCAL CHURCHES and
MINISTRIES that impact schools
and involving new believers in a
local church?
Commission committed
Christian students as missionaries to their school?
Big Idea: Commissioning students publicly in a local church
empowers them to do ministry.
Acts 13:2,3
Does the leadership in our
church understand and support
the commissioning of students
as missionaries?
Have we found a way to
provide ongoing motivation and
needed resources for students
throughout the school year?
Has our church set a time to
publicly pray for and/or commission students as missionaries?
Are we committed to loving
students and welcoming them into
our church when they become
believers?
Include the Every School
Plan in your prayer life,
giving and programming?
Is our church moved by compassion to deal with the deeply
personal needs of middle, junior
high and high school students?
Big Idea: Our use of time, talent
and treasure demonstrates what
we are dedicated to.
Matthew 6:21
If you are a parachurch youth
worker, are you assisting your
local church in reaching students,
Are we including student evangelism and outreach to schools
within our church prayer life?
Does our church publicly pray
for students and schools on a
regular basis?
The next step I will take is:
How much of our financial
resources are invested in reaching students and schools?
Are we praying for local and
national officials who make
decisions regarding values and
religious freedom on campus?
For resources to assist you, turn to pages 16-18, 42-62.
12
will you take the challenge to:
Cooperate with others in
your community in joint
evangelistic efforts?
Implement an Every School
Plan targeting every student in your area for Christ?
Big Idea: It is Christ’s desire for His
disciples to love each other and
work together as a witness to the
world so that the world might
believe. John 17:20-24
Big Idea: Christ’s purpose is for
us to fulfill the Great Commission.
It makes sense to focus our
combined energy on what we’ve
been commanded to do.
Matthew 28:18-20
Have you assessed what God
is already doing through existing
Christian ministries and student
initiatives on each campus you
are targeting?
Have you considered starting
a ministry to a school where
there is no ministry or to a
school with a particular need?
4 Effective LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS
that network local churches and Christian
youth organizations
Are you pursuing relationships
with other adult leaders who are
ministering to the schools?
Are you cooperating with
existing ministries to help reach
the campus for Christ?
Are you working together with
other ministries in implementing
the Every School Plan?
Does every campus in your
area have an adult youth leader
focused on reaching that school
for Christ?
Is there an ongoing prayer
strategy active on each campus?
Are student leaders being
encouraged and trained to reach
their campus for Christ?
Cooperate to provide
resources, training and
finances to support the
strategy?
Big Idea: To be most effective, we
must work together using all the
gifts of the body, maximizing our
influence for Christ. Deuteronomy
32:30, 1 Corinthians 12:4-6
Is your ministry cooperating
with other ministries to provide
resources, training and finances
in support of an Every School
Plan?
Do you need to provide specific
resources, training and/or events
to more effectively reach students
at schools in your community?
The next step I will take is:
Has your partnership of
ministries adequately provided
staff to equip students to reach
their schools for Christ?
For resources to assist you, turn to pages 18, 34-37, 42-62.

"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great
and unsearchable things you do not know.”
Jeremiah 33:3 (NIV)
That is what God wants to do
for you!
“Young people in
student-led prayer
bands have been at
the forefront in almost
every awakening.”
J. Edwin Orr
He asks you to PRAY. “Call to
me,” He says.
He gives you a PROMISE. “I will
answer you,” He vows.
He provides you with POWER.
“I will tell you great and unsearchable things,” He exclaims.
Nothing of any significance will
happen with your friends or at
your school until you pray. When
you do, God moves into action.
When He acts, He doesn’t just
give you peanuts; He does things
beyond your wildest imagination.
When you think about how to
pray for your school, you have all
kinds of options.
• Do a prayer walk around your
school.
• Join others in praying during
See You at the Pole and then
throughout the year.
• Conduct a concert of prayer
with a large group of students
praying together.
• Try “yearbook praying” where
you pray through your school’s
annual.
• Design a plan to pray locker to
locker for every person in your
school.
• Go room to room asking God
to work in the lives of students
and teachers in every room in
your school.
• Take prayer requests asking
people at school how you can
pray for them.
• Do “doorway praying” by standing at the doorway of your
school and praying for every
person who comes in the door.
The list is as long as you are
creative!
However, one approach needs to
be at the heart of your prayer
strategy. Jesus laid it out for us
in Matthew 18:18-20:
“I tell you the truth, whatever you
bind on earth will be bound in
heaven, and whatever you loose
on earth will be loosed in heaven.
Again, I tell you that if two of you
on earth agree about anything
you ask for, it will be done for you
by my Father in heaven. For where
two or three come together in
my name, there I am with them.”
New International Version (NIV)
Here Jesus promises that all of
His resources are available to
you. When you pray to Him, He
releases those resources and
answers your prayers. That’s
awesome! Then He tells us that
there is incredible spiritual power
when we pray in unity with other
believers. When we pray in twos
and threes, His presence is with
us in a special way.
Jesus’ presence and power
are available to change peoples’ lives when we meet in
twos and threes to pray!
That’s incredible!
Do you really want to see God
work in the lives of your friends?
Are you wondering how to get
this going?
Here’s how ...
14
3 friends ...
Meet 3 times a
week to pray ...
For 3 friends
who need Christ.
• 3 friends. They will encourage
you and hold you accountable.
What a gift that is!
• Meet 3 times a week to pray.
Arrange your schedule to pray
whenever you like – before
school, after school, free time,
over lunch, at night, on the
weekend, on the phone. You
get the idea. Work it out
together. Just make sure you
get 10-15 minutes together
when you meet.
• For 3 friends who need Christ.
Who are 3 friends that you
want to come to Christ? Pray
for those 3 friends every time
you meet to pray. Ask God how
He wants to use you to reach
them.
When the 3 of you meet together
to pray, you are asking God to
change the lives of 9 of your
friends. If that happens you will
have the beginning of a spiritual
revolution on your campus.
Imagine what could happen when
all the other Christians on your
campus begin to pray like this. It
will change your school in ways
you never imagined!
I will pray with:
Prayer Partner #1
[Write your name]
Prayer Partner #2
Prayer Partner #3
I will meet 3 times a week at:
Time #1
Time #2
Time #3
I will pray for these friends who
need Christ:
Friend #1
Friend #2
Friend #3
Signed
It can all begin with you!
Will you and two friends take
the challenge?
Many national ministries suggest this strategy of praying in threes.
See the Prayer Triplet card combined with the poster insert in the
middle of this magazine to help remind you to pray this way.
15
“While they were worshipping ... the Holy Spirit said, ‘Set apart for me ...
for the work to which I have called them.’”
Acts 13:2 (NIV)
Does your church publicly stand with students
and educators, sending
them out as ambassadors for Christ to
local schools?
Challenge 2000 Sunday
The Challenge 2000 Alliance is
calling local Christian churches
across our country to pray for all
their students, educators, and
schools. A special commissioning
of those desiring to be Campus
Missionaries is encouraged
during the church services on
the weekends of September 13,
1998 and September 12, 1999.
By dedicating a public service to
the monumental task of reaching
every teenager with the gospel,
churches will align themselves
with the unprecedented partnering taking place today among
students, youth workers, churches
and youth organizations, both
nationally and locally.
The Challenge 2000 objective – to
see a ministry of evangelism and
discipleship established to every
middle, junior high and high
school in America by year-end
2000 – can only be accomplished
... together.
Every Church in Every
Community
A Challenge 2000 Service looks
different in every church in every
community. In planning a
Challenge 2000 Service, you
might consider:
• Using a Challenge 2000 video
segment on a large screen and
with quality sound to capture
the passion and emotion of
students in ministry and life on
campus (see Challenge 2000
Service resources on page 62).
• Interviewing students and youth
leaders, pointing out the needs
of students in the church and
especially the real life issues
teenagers face without Christ.
• Casting a vision for reaching
every student in the community.
Parachurch youth leaders can
partner with the local church
in illustrating the need for the
entire body of Christ to work
together.
• Inviting a teacher or coach to
give real life examples of the
lives of students without Christ,
or their impact as a Christian
example on the school campus.
• Taking pictures and displaying
them in the weeks to come.
• Asking students to give a
testimony about what God is
doing at their school.
At an appropriate point in the
service ...
• Invite all middle, junior high and
high school students to stand
up or come to the front of the
congregation.
• Ask a church leader to offer a
prayer of dedication, spiritual
protection and intercession as
the school year begins.
• Explain the Challenge 2000
Covenant and let the church
know how many students have
signed it. (Put the Covenant
on a screen.)
16
• Show the church how the
students will pray in Prayer
Triplets. You might want to
demonstrate this to the
congregation.
• Give the congregation an
opportunity to sign up to pray
for a student.
• Spread the students around
the congregation in their
groups of 3 and ask adults in
the congregation to gather
around them to pray for them.
Educators as Insiders on
the Campus
Congregations may include a time
of affirmation and a prayer of dedication for educators, coaches and
other school personnel. Often
"hands of blessing" are laid on
teachers, affirming the significant
role Christian educators play.
They minister daily as insiders on
the public and private campuses
in the community.
If you will be hosting a
Challenge 2000 Service,
please complete and mail in
the response postcard in
the middle of the magazine.
Is God calling your
church to commission
specific students – a
select few – to the role
of Campus Missionary?
The title, as well as the
role, is significant.
As a church family and as a youth
ministry, a significant commitment
to support student missionaries
throughout the school year must
be made. Support often includes
weekly accountability groups, provision of resources, and a congregational commitment to pray for
students and schools by name.
A number of churches are establishing an application process to
pre-qualify interested students for
this significant calling. Beginning
with an interview and personal
preparation, Campus Missionaries
often come to experience the same
challenges and needs as adult
missionaries the church supports.
Some churches link campus
missions with the missions
strategy of the church.
Churches often support local parachurch efforts as an extension of
their mission efforts. It is also a
way for their young people to
have a united witness on campus
with other believers. Commission
all students in your church who
are reaching out on campus.
Next Steps to Commissioning
Campus Missionaries
1. Inform Leaders. Inform your
senior pastoral leadership and
youth leaders about the Challenge
2000 Alliance and its mission to
reach every young person with
the gospel.
2. Confirm the Date. Seek senior
leadership support in dedicating
your church service(s) on the
second weekend of September
to the purpose of calling your
church family to the cause of
reaching every student with the
gospel of Christ. (Choose another
weekend if needed.)
3. Determine Objectives.
Ask yourself and your leadership:
Are we ready to dedicate or commission specific students and
educators as Campus Missionaries
during the next school year,
besides praying for all students
and educators that day? (For
help in preparing students as
Campus Missionaries, see the
Resource Guide, pages 48-51)
4. Plan the Program. Offer to
provide or assist with the resources
and various service elements that
will make your Challenge 2000
Service a meaningful and moving
experience for the entire church
family. (The Challenge 2000 video
has some great segments to
help cast the vision!)
5. Order Materials. Order a
Challenge 2000 Sunday Church
Tool Kit – a toolbox full of
resources to help your church
capture the significant work God
is doing in reaching students
through campus-focused
evangelistic ministry.

Is reaching out to
every student on every
campus really possible?
The mission of Challenge 2000 is
ambitious, to say the least. The
goal is to begin a ministry on
every campus in our nation, and
give every teenager the opportunity
to trust Christ.
Humanly speaking, it seems
impossible. There are 56,000
campuses with millions of students in America. Who is going
to reach out to these students?
Are there even Christians on all
these campuses? How about
your campus? Are you and your
friends up to the challenge? And
besides, who thought of this idea
in the first place?
It would be easy to say that
Challenge 2000 originated with
some zealous youth leaders and
a few wacko teenagers. But it
didn’t. The mission of reaching
out to every person in every part
of the world is God’s idea.
Moments before His departure
into heaven, Jesus gave us our
game plan, “Go into the whole
world and preach the good news
to everyone, everywhere.”
Mark 16:15 The Living Bible (TLB)
It was the last thing Jesus talked
about before He returned to His
Father in heaven ... and it’s a
good idea to listen to a person’s
final words, especially if it is
God speaking!
This charge, given by Jesus to all
Christians for all time, is called
the Great Commission. It is also
found in Matthew 28:18-20
and Luke 24:47. The vision of
Challenge 2000 originates from
Jesus’ Great Commission to take
God’s love to every person.
Does it still seem far-fetched?
Here is what you can count on:
the Great Commission is going
to be completed. Jesus said in
Matthew 24:14 that the time will
come when the entire world will
hear, and then He will return.
18
Is that time coming soon? Only
God Himself knows that schedule.
But there are many who believe
it is today’s young generation that
is going to complete the Great
Commission. You live at a very
unique time in history.
So why choose to be committed to Challenge 2000 and
God’s Great Commission? Here
are three reasons:
1. Because Christ told us, as His
disciples, to “Go everywhere and
tell everyone.”
2. Because of your love for the
Lord. “If anyone loves me He will
obey My teaching.” John 14:23
(NIV)
3. Because teenagers and adults
everywhere are hurting and spiritually lost and need to be told
how they can know Jesus Christ.
Matthew 9:36-37
God in His wisdom already has a
plan for how He is going to reach
out to every student. He has
people in place for every school.
Though it may make us a bit
nervous to think about, we can
make a big difference right where
God has placed us ... at our
school. We should pray for
schools everywhere, but the
answer to the prayers for our
school will be US!
Can we do it? Is reaching out to
every campus possible? How
would you answer that question?
Your next step is on
the next page. Dig in.
Take the challenge!
If you accept the
challenge, remember
your life will be different.
You may never be
the same.
“So far, I have talked
to at least 70 to 75
people about Christ.
Many of them have

Christ for the very

It gives me a warm
feeling inside to know
that God enabled me to
share with my peers.”

It’s Launch Time
You’re wired. You are about to
take off and it could well be the
most dramatic experience of your
life. You are entering into a world
seldom experienced by humans.
It is a world where God is powerfully bringing people into His kingdom. He is taking them literally
from the clutches of the enemy.
He is adopting them into His very
own family. And God is calling you
to be His partner in this incredible
rescue operation.
Who is scheduled to be
rescued?
A lot of them are your friends.
Others are students you see
around the campus, but may not
know personally. Some are in
trouble from time to time, while
others are just regular people.
You might not even think of them
as lost and in the control of the
enemy. They are lost spiritually
with no hope of living forever
with God.
But God has other plans! You
are going to have the awesome
privilege of working right in the
middle of His battle plan for the
lives of your friends. So you better
be prepared. Here are a few
timely suggestions:
• Put on your armor. Carefully
read Ephesians 6:10-20 right
now. Read it and prayerfully
“suit up” every day.
• Know who you are. Knowing
your identity in Christ will be
critical, especially when the
enemy comes and accuses
you of being a phony, or
reminds you that you are just
a mere human with little power.
Read Ephesians 2:10 and
2 Corinthians 5:17-20.
19
• Draw close to Jesus Christ.
You will need to be close to the
Coach, who is your Commander
in Chief. Daily prayer and time
in His Word will be critical. You
will want to trust His Spirit to
fill you with wisdom and power
to know what to do each day at
school, and to make wise decisions. Memorize Ephesians 5:18
and Galatians 2:20.
Some significant things may take
place at your school this year.
Athletic teams may win championships. Students may be named to
the National Honor Society. Someone may even lose his or her life.
But every dramatic event at your
school will pale in comparison to
the moment when one person
is rescued from the enemy and
brought into the spiritual family of
our heavenly Father. And you
have the opportunity to be a part
of those moments by bringing
friends to Christ.
On every campus in our
nation God is calling
students to join Him.
Get ready. Your life will
never be the same.

A student at your school who is spiritually lost may
not look any different than you or your Christian
friends. In fact, they may even feel the same way that
you do about many things, and face some of the
same problems. The difference is that they are spiritually dead, they do not have Christ living within them
to guide and comfort them, and they are facing eternal separation from God. Jesus Christ deeply cares
about your lost friends. They are on His "Most
Wanted" list and He wants you to be the one who
helps bring them home to Him.

In this story, the sower was doing a good job spreading
his seed across the whole field. But he got different
results. Some seed was rejected by the soil. Some
sprang up but quickly faded away. Some seed was
eventually choked out by weeds. However, a good portion of the soil was ready, and produced a huge crop.

rescue operation, using us to spread the seed of His

5. Expect Results. If God is speaking to a person's
mind and heart, they will recognize the truth when
they hear it. Arguments are unnecessary. We just
need to explain how they can receive Christ and invite
them to do so. Some will respond, others may not be
ready. But remember, a lot of students are ready to
trust Christ if only someone will tell them how. Jesus

Starting a Christian Club or Outreach
at Your School ...
“I was invited to attend
a Christian club only
to find 10 students
eating doughnuts,
praying briefly at the
end of their meeting. I
challenged them to be
more than a group of
Christians, but rather
students who would
boldly intercede for
their campus. The
room ... is now packed
every Friday with
students gathering for
prayer and Bible study.”
Duane Pace, Youth Pastor
– Dallas, Georgia
Has God given you a
vision to reach out on
your campus?
Fantastic!
If you are confident that God
wants you to begin an outreach
or club at your school, step out in
faith and ask others to join you.
When you unite with other
Christians, a powerful, influential
force to reach your friends for
Christ is birthed on your campus.
If you are ready, read on!
Many students are launching
Christian clubs on their campuses,
while others are forming campus
student outreaches or organizations. Clubs are usually recognized
as an official group and are
allowed to meet on campus.
Outreaches and organizations are
informally recognized and may
meet in homes or churches.
Students have to decide which is
best for their school, but either
way the reason for uniting is not
only for fellowship, but to reach
their campus for Christ.
A good example of this is found
in Acts 2. This account of the
very first gathering of Christians
is a model of how they came
together to be encouraged and
strengthened, and then went out
to reach those in their community
for Christ. Their first group grew
because they did not meet just to
fellowship, but to reach others.
So, before you begin, clearly
identify WHY you want to start a
club or outreach: what its purpose
or intention is.
There are a number of excellent
resources and organizations available to serve you in pioneering
and leading your campus club or
outreach. (see pages 48-51)
26
Beginning a Christian
Club or Outreach
Pray first
• Praise the Lord for what He
wants to do at your school.
• Ask Him to walk you through
the beginning process.
• Mobilize the Christians into
Prayer Triplets. (see page 15)
• Plead with God to give you a
bold vision for your school.
• Ask the Lord to bring many students to Christ at your school.
• Pray that the administration
and the student government
would be open to your request.
Notice where God is already
working at your school
• Check to see if there are existing Christian clubs and outreach meetings at your school
or in the community.
• Join with those who are
reaching out to the school with
the gospel, increasing your
partnership.
• At times, it is good to start a
new club or outreach. If so,
be sure you communicate with
existing Christian clubs and
outreaches.
Gather the resources you
need to begin
• Find others on your campus
who will join you.
• Look for Christian teachers,
coaches, or staff at your school
who might serve as a sponsor.
• Request a written copy of the
school policy for starting school
clubs or student organizations.
• Review copies of other school
clubs that have completed a
constitution or charter.
• Ask a Christian youth worker
from your church or organization
to assist you.
“This past New Year’s
Eve the students from
four campus Bible
Begin behind the scenes
• Schedule a time and neutral
place for an introductory
meeting to share the vision
with other students.
• Be sure everyone understands
the clear purpose of the group.
• Discuss when it would be best
to meet.
• Complete any required applications, charters or constitutions
the school requires.
clubs ... hosted a lockin at Lake City High
School. An estimated
400 to 500 students
attended ... between
100 and 150 students
responded to the invitation to commit their
lives to the Lord.”
Gaining school approval
• Be sure you have discovered
what is required at your school
to have a recognized club.
• Insure that your group will be
student-led, although you may
invite adult guests on occasion.
• As a team, present your
request to the school administration or student government
for approval.
• Know where to find support for
your legal rights to meet on
campus, if approval is denied.

check it out ... maybe only once.
• How you and your team treat
visitors will help bring them back.
• Plan out your first few meetings
ahead of time.
• Map out your vision as a team,
including a lot of interaction.
• Your enthusiasm and a clear
purpose will go a long way in
the first few meetings!
Keep Going
Purpose + Variety + Involvement
= Momentum!
Purpose: A passion and plan to
reach every student on campus.
Variety: Meetings which differ
week-to-week.
Involvement: Every student has
a role.
• Consider a four-week rotation
of meetings to maximize your
impact.
• Each week’s meeting has a
carefully chosen purpose and
different format.
• One model of this is the ACTS
Revolution, from First Priority
of America.*
Accountability Week
After a welcome and update,
break into small accountability
groups of three to share needs
and pray for each other. Many
groups use their Prayer Triplet
strategy for this. (see page 15)
*Used by permission
28
Challenge Week
Invite a student or community
youth leader to challenge the
group from God’s Word.
Testimony Week
As a large group, many students
take turns telling how God is
working on campus, answering
Prayer Triplet prayers, and
changing lives.
S
eek Week
Share the gospel of Christ
through an outreach strategy
on campus or by inviting preChristian students to an
evangelistic meeting designed
for them. (see Ways to Witness
below, and pages 18-25)
After completing a four-week
revolution, you can repeat the
process again and again.
Finish Well
• How many relay races are lost
because of a dropped baton?
• Don’t let the school year end
without a plan and leadership
team in place for next year.
• Begin early in the winter season to identify and personally
mentor potential leaders for
next year.
• Include them in your planning
and praying. Share leadership
opportunities with them.
• Once your leadership team is
confident of the maturity and
vision of the future leaders,
pass the baton, early in the
spring.
• Be sure everyone is involved in
affirming their role as leaders
before the school year ends.
• Decide a summer schedule to
get together for planning the
next school year.
Ways You Can Be A Witness On Campus:
1
Give a speech, research paper, art project or poem about Jesus.
2
Personally share Christ with a friend.
3
Wear a Christian T-shirt or button.
4
Write an article for the school newspaper.
5
Put an advertisement in the high school yearbook or newspaper.
6
Organize and help lead a See You at the Pole prayer meeting the
third Wednesday in September.
7
Invite your youth leader to eat lunch with you and your friends who
don’t know Christ. (Get permission for him/her to be on campus.)
8
Give a report on a Christian book or person.
9
Perform a Christian song or skit for a talent show.
10 Give Christian evangelism material to non-Christians.
11 Set a goal to witness to one student each day.
12 Counsel fellow students going through a rough time.
13 Carry your Bible on campus.
14 Be a servant.
15 Invite friends who don’t know Christ to visit your church youth
meeting or activities.
16 Ask your teacher if your youth leader can speak in class.

Youth Leaders Only
Consider the daily
dilemmas of the
player/coach – a
sports phenomenon.
Should I go into the game
and take over? Or do I let
the others play? Am I really
better at that skill ... or just
more experienced? Should I
substitute myself for the
younger untested rookie?
Youth workers have an awful lot in
common with this rare but exciting
role. Or should have. For many
of us today, it is far too easy to
watch from the sidelines as students move onto the field. Others
get a thrill only out of managing
the action from the dugout or
even from the press box.
Today's paradigm shift – as
students take the lead in ministry
– can create a sense of confusion
in the ranks. Is the primary role
of the paid and volunteer youth
worker to equip students for
evangelism among their peers. Or
should we be out there reaching
teenagers for Christ ourselves?
The answer is ... yes. The excitement of introducing a teenager to
Christ ourselves is only exceeded
by the joy of seeing a student we
have coached lead their peer to
the Lord.
But even if most of our students
were leading others to Christ,
the harvest field is so large and
ripe that it will take all of us, adult
youth workers and students, to
join in and do our part. We
coach students, but we also join
them. Some will only catch on by
watching us up close as we play
alongside them on the field.
Campus Focus
As God moves students into vital
roles of leadership and ministry
on their campuses, He may
also want us to re-think how
and why and where we minister.
Acknowledging that students
spend 35 or more hours on their
campus each week, many fruitful
youth workers are dedicating more
of their time to be on, around,
near or focused toward at least
one school.
We can reflect our priorities by
re-orienting our own ministry
budgets, calendars and staff to
make an impact on an unreached
student body. We must communicate to our senior leadership and
authority structure to help them
embrace the vision to reach the
“10/20 window” – those between
10 and 20 years old. This generation is one of the most winnable,
yet still unreached, people groups
in the world.
Equipping Students
A player/coach doesn’t just play
... but takes his or her years of
experience and imparts wisdom
through teachable moments.
Having a great playbook and
specialized team meetings allows
the coach to pass on team values,
methods and goals. But the
greatest training comes in the
midst of the action ... on the field
or court. Whether opening day
or a playoff game, the coach’s
preparation of the team is best
tested by game-time action.
Preparing students to have a
ministry of their own comes in
many forms throughout the year.
Summer often provides students
with their most uncluttered
schedule to be challenged and
trained in peer evangelism.
Helping students gain a personal
30
plan for outreach is vital as the
school year begins. (see the
Resource Guide on pages 43-51
for ideas)
Challenge 2000 Sunday
Coaches usually call a team
huddle before a game, placing
hands in the center of a tightly
knit circle. Players and onlookers
usually feel invincible. Challenge
2000 Sunday is a day set aside
to call the entire team, extended
church family and prayerful intercessors together to rally for the
task. As students and educators
are prayed for and sent out, and
as congregations take their support role seriously, God releases
the church for ministry and raises
their anticipation level for what
He will do.
See You at the Pole (SYATP)
and After
Every team needs to be ready for
opening day. Helping your students
connect with other students from
the same schools is often best
coordinated through the local youth
worker Network or a communitywide gathering. But as students
shape their plan for SYATP, coach
them to also plan beyond the Pole.
How or what are they called to
do next – together?
Many excellent prayer strategies
or campus game plans are
available. With a critical mass
gathered for SYATP and with
well-equipped student leaders in
place, September is a great
month to kick off for a year-long
ministry of prayer and evangelism
on campus. (see the Resource
Guide on pages 48-59)
Every School Needs a
Shepherd
Has God called you to shepherd or
minister to one specific school?
City Networks that have organized
to assign at least one local youth
worker to each school report
great results. More students are
shepherded, student leaders
know where to find help, prayer
movements are stimulated and
competition in the community
breaks down.
Variety!
God uses many ways to reach
students at a school. Have you
discovered the ways He is working
in your area?
School assembly speakers, evening
youth meetings in a nearby home,
on-site campus clubs, student-tostudent evangelism strategies,
outreach nights in a local church,
use of surveys, videos which are
shown at lunchtime ... God is
working to bring students to
Himself. How is He working in
your area?
Campus Insider
Doors open wide once you have
established trust in a campus
culture. The next section will help
you consider how to become an
insider at a school near you ...
“There's an actual
anointing that comes
over a school when students pray. They come
to school to see what
God's going to do.”
Stan Heeren, Youth Worker
31
Youth Leaders Only
"The Word became
flesh and made his
dwelling among us."
John 1:14 (NIV)
“Local youth workers
are finding other creative ways to be visible
on campus. They are
volunteering with a
purpose ... providing
hallway supervision, or
working at school
activities such as field
trips or the annual
college fair.”
Marshall Snider,
Network City Coordinator
– Dallas, Oregon
Rather than shouting His message of hope from a distance,
Jesus modeled “incarnational”
ministry. He came and “pitched
His tent” among us. We can and
must do the same thing among
students within the school environment if we are going to
impact them for Christ.
How to Begin
• Build the Foundation for a
Bridge
To penetrate a campus community, prayer must be the foundation
of our approach. Through prayer
and observation, we can gain
insights about a specific school
and discern ways He is already
working there. Ask Him to send
other workers along with you into
that specific field of harvest. Pray
for a good personal connection
with a school staff person who is
already an insider on the campus.
• Build the Bridge: Know the
School
Knowing a school’s culture and
unique student groups is invaluable for maximum impact. Start
by interviewing students from
your own ministry. Read the
school newspaper and annual
yearbook as well as the local section of your community newspaper.
Go to sporting events, school
concerts and assemblies. Know
the names of the principal(s), key
leaders and the school secretary.
• Cross the Bridge: Begin with
Relationships
Challenge 2000 does not have a
political agenda. The goals are
eternal and spiritual in nature.
Long-term spiritual fruitfulness
will grow out of trust built with
school authorities far more than
stirring conflict or public confrontation. Start by getting to know
school administration and other
school gatekeepers. Meet the
principal and other school leaders
informally at events, games, etc.
Ask parents to introduce you.
Write a note of encouragement.
When appropriate, seek to have a
formal appointment. Keep it brief.
Communicate your availability to
assist with their needs.
• Keep the Bridge Open: Serve
the School
Find a point of need where your
interest, effort or experience is
needed. You or your local ministry
may have the expertise, a facility
or the equipment that your school
cannot afford but needs. Each
school is different, but you might
consider coaching, tutoring, using
your technical/video/photography
skills, support help, and chaperoning of events. The list goes on.
Prayerfully brainstorm with other
youth leaders and concerned
adults about how the body of
Christ can serve the schools.
• Widen the Bridge: Personal
Contact with Student Groups
As you serve within the school,
students will begin to recognize
you as an insider. Identify what
sports team, music group or
student sub-group you are running
into most regularly. Learn from
the example of Jesus in John 4,
as He encountered the woman at
the well. Show interest by asking
32
Adapted from Penetrating the Campus, Reach Out Ministries, Duplication permitted
good questions and listening well.
Pick up on students’ needs and
offer hope. By asking the “5 Ws”
(who, what, where, when, and
why questions), you can talk to
almost any student for 10 minutes
or more.
• Mobilize Other Adult Leaders
You cannot penetrate every
student group by yourself. Recruit
and link with other Christian adult
youth leaders to find at least one
way that they can penetrate the
campus as well. Even on a very
busy and limited schedule, being
at the right place at the right time
will open doors for ministry. Try
athletic events, evening activities,
and other carefully selected
opportunities.
• Equip and Motivate Your
Students
You might picture yourself and
other adult leaders as the point
of a spear going to the campus,
and students like the shaft. As
you set the pace, model compassion, meet needs, and share the
gospel, students will have an
example they can follow. Help
them shape their own personal
plan for evangelism among their
friends and others on their
campus. Walk them through the
practical worksheets for students
on pages 20-25.
Lastly, be sure to register your
ministry commitment to each
school you have adopted by going
online at www.everyschool.com.

The Challenge 2000 Alliance is
made up of more than 25,000
full-time youth leaders,175,000
adult volunteers, 2.5 million
students and thousands of local
churches and youth organizations.
There are more than 500 local
networking efforts taking place.
Together, we already have a presence in the communities of all
56,000 schools we seek to reach!
Since there are many churches
and youth organizations often
represented at each school, we
must cooperate if we are going
to succeed at sharing Christ with
every part of the student body.
Youth workers should also model
that same kind of unity and
cooperation by networking in
the community.
The purpose of networking on
a campus and in a community
is to foster ...
• Relationships (Who we are)
which are built on prayer,
encouragement, and unity.
This results in ...
• Strategy (What we do) including the sharing of resources,
cooperative training, combined
events, and discovering a plan
to reach students on every
middle, junior high and high
school in our area.

Commission ... Cooperation ...
Cord
There is a strong biblical basis
for cooperative ministry. It is vital
that the Church – the body of
Christ – focus its efforts on
fulfilling the Great Commission
together in each community. It
shows our obedience to the
command of our Lord. Linking
together demonstrates the heart
of God as reflected in Jesus’
prayer in John 17:20-23: “May
they be brought to complete unity
to let the world know....” (NIV) It
is wiser to combine our efforts
than to work alone. Solomon
wrote, “Two are better than one,
because they have a good return
for their work ... a cord of three
strands is not quickly broken.”
Ecclesiastes 4:9,12 (NIV)
So where do you start?
Here are some networking basics,
as shared by experienced coordinators of youth worker Networks.
Most of these principles also apply
to students working together on
a campus.
• Take the Lead
A movement needs passionate
leadership – one or more
people with a vision to fulfill the
Great Commission in your area.
This person might not be a
youth worker, but has a burning
desire for every young person
to get a chance to respond to
Jesus Christ.
34
• Clarify Your Vision
This begins – and continues – with
prayer. Ask God to make His plan
clear for reaching your community.
Then write it down in a mission
statement as a starting place for
your Network. Habakkuk 2:2
says, "Write down the revelation
... so that a herald may run with
it." (NIV) Ask God to lead you to
others of like mind, and pray with
them for clarity.
• Build a Team
As you pray, expect God to help
you establish a core group of
others who "own" a similar vision.
Continue praying together about
what He wants you to do. Get to
know one another personally,
allowing barriers to break down
and trust to grow. Your relationships will be increasingly personal
as you pray for and encourage
one another. Many groups find
their praying is more effective
when they intercede for schools
or churches on site. Try "prayer
walking" at each target campus.
Be creative!
• Grow a Strategy
As you pray, God will reveal
specific plans to help fulfill your
vision. He will show you what to
do! This may include any of the
following:
– Monthly Network meetings
– Student leadership training
– A city-wide outreach event
– Concerts of prayer
– Youth worker training
(volunteers and paid)
– Expanding your prayer base
– See You at the Pole or other
student prayer strategies
– Establishing student-led Bible
clubs
– Plans to establish ministries
to every school
– Other strategies
Everything your Network does
should ultimately help fulfill your
purpose: to build up the body of
Christ on and off campus so
that every student can be
exposed to the message of the
gospel of Jesus Christ. Your
Network will probably not say
yes to every youth event that
comes along – that’s okay! Pray
and ask God for discernment to
keep your movement on track
with what God wants you to do.
• Expand Your Base
In your community, God has
already placed His people in key
positions to help fulfill your vision.
Keep expanding your team to
include other concerned adults
with a heart to reach every
student. God knows the big picture. Ask Him to lead you to
them. Ask, "Who are the people
in this city that are ready to
participate in this vision?" These
may include:
– Other youth workers – paid
and volunteer
– Men’s groups (such as
Promise Keepers)
– Women’s groups (such as
Moms in Touch)
– School personnel (administrators, teachers, coaches,
etc.)
– Community organizations
(DARE, MADD, YMCA, etc.)
– Business people (individuals,
or service clubs such as
Rotary, etc.)
• Work Your Plan
If the goal of presenting the
gospel to every young person by
year-end 2000 will be reached,
it will take steady effort by a
Network in every school, city,
town or county. Keep that vision
at the forefront of all you do.
Come alongside student leaders
with regular training and
encouragement.
or schools near you? These
same principles could be used
to establish a movement there.
As cooperation spreads across
the nation, Challenge 2000 will
become a reality!
Unfortunately, most Christian
student leaders report that they
feel they are "on their own" with
little support from their youth
leaders. Yet most believe they
are trying to apply the things they
are learning in their youth group!
Some Networks sponsor monthly
or even weekly training times for
leaders from multiple schools
to come together to exchange
ideas, pray together and be
nurtured by caring adults.
• Persevere
A Network’s momentum ebbs
and flows – don’t be surprised
when it happens to you!
Networks that last realize they
are in a spiritual battle, keep
their focus on the target, work
through obstacles and adapt to
change. They reinvent themselves
as necessary to continue reaching out to every student in every
school in their community.
• Multiply Yourself
Is there is a functioning Network
in your "Jerusalem"? How about
in your Judea – and Samaria?
How could you use your influence
to encourage or help launch a
Network in other communities

Ministries offers membership for

The Lost Farm Child
The story is told of a young child
that got lost in a farmer’s field.
When night fell, the little boy
didn’t come home. That caused
much alarm with the parents of
this child and throughout the
small farm community. Neighbors
came over immediately to help
the family frantically look for the
missing child. As they crisscrossed the field late into the
evening with no sight of the lad,
the father reluctantly sent the
townspeople home. He told them
that in the morning they would
resume the search.
At daybreak, the search party
had gathered back at the main
farmhouse. The father had a
plan. He instructed them to join
hands in a long line and begin to
comb the field. After searching
for quite some time, there came
a sudden message down the line
of people that the boy had been
found. The man rushed to where
his child was – but the child had
died from exposure to the freezing temperatures of the night. As
the grieving dad held his lifeless
son in his arms, he looked up
at those people that had been
searching for the child and said
sadly, "I only wish that we would
have joined hands sooner."
The situation in our day is just
as urgent as in this story. Young
people are dying every day,
physically and spiritually. They
are waiting for the body of Christ
to come together in a spirit of
cooperation so they can be found
by their heavenly Father.
What barriers exist that prevent us from working together
for such a critical task?
To move from a vague vision to
the reality of a Great Commission
Network in your city, ask yourself
these questions:
Leadership
Who are the passionate leaders
God has singled out to lead the
effort in our community (youth
workers, pastors, or other concerned adults)?
Vision and Team
What is my vision for the youth
of our community? Try writing it
down in a sentence or two.
Who could I regularly pray with
about the needs of teenagers?
Where and when will we meet?
Strategy
On another sheet, write down:
• How many young people are in
our community?
• What are the names of the
middle, junior high and senior
high schools in my community?
• What ministries are currently
focusing on each school?
36
Expand Your Base
List the people in your community
that you believe have a heart to
reach youth. (Consider youth
workers/pastors, caring adults,
school staff, community organizations, business people.)
Does each school have Christian
adults committed as spiritual
shepherds or "coaches" for
student leaders?
What can you do to develop
a relationship with these other
leaders?
Work Your Plan
What events or strategies could
you use to help students lead
ministry at their schools?
• Leadership training:
“Not working together
as the whole body of
Christ is like trying to
• Outreach events:
drive a car without
fuel ... We need each
• Corporate worship and prayer
gatherings:

other to reach this
generation of youth.”
Vince Purpero, Director
Orlando Student Venture
You’re the one!
Of all of the generations
who have ever lived,
yours is the first one
which can finish the task!
"Finish what task?" you ask. Great
question. The task of taking the
gospel of Jesus Christ to every
nation, tribe, people and language
in the world.
Jesus made the task pretty clear.
When He left, He said: “Therefore
go and make disciples of all
nations....” Matthew 28:19 (NIV)
“Expect great things
from God; attempt
great things for God.”
William Carey
He predicted that before His
return, “the gospel must first be
preached to all nations....”
Mark 13:10 (NIV)
In heaven He saw standing
before Him: “... a great multitude
that no one could count, from
every nation, tribe, people and
language....” Revelation 7:9 (NIV)
Since Christ spoke these words,
it has never been more possible
to complete the task than it is
now. Your generation has the best
opportunity ever to get the job
done!
Here’s how Jesus wants it
accomplished:
“But you will receive power when
the Holy Spirit comes on you;
and you will be my witnesses in
Jerusalem, and in all Judea and
Samaria, and to the ends of
the earth.” Acts 1:8 (NIV)
• Ask daily to receive the power
of the Holy Spirit to be a witness for Christ.
• Start in Jerusalem – your
home. Live the life with your
family.
• Move out to Judea – your
friends. Love your friends by
listening and sharing Christ.
• Go on to Samaria – your
school. Tell your story to people
you are praying for at school.
• Keep on going to the ends of
the earth – your world. Give
your future for God’s plan and
purpose of taking the gospel
around the world.
The need is there.
For example...
The number of teenagers who
need Christ in Mexico City is
greater than the entire population
of New York City.
The opportunity has never
been greater.
For example ...
140,000 people come to Christ
every day around the world.
What can you do to get in on
God’s worldwide plans for you?
• Faithfully live for Christ at home,
with your friends and at school.
• Meet a person of another race
or country and build a friendship.
• Pray for a country you are
interested in and learn all you
can about it.
• Make plans to go on a mission
trip with your youth group or
with a friend.
• Ask God to show you how He
wants to use you in another
country once you finish school.
God has His eye on you for
great things. In His eyes ...
you’re the one!
