Students Led Movement

  • Students have plans & Students' movement not staff's movement

I always praise God when I see students who take part in spiritual movement at their campus. They made the plan and they did. They saw it as students movement and didn't see as the staff movement on their campus.

  • They work based on Dream Giver's Vision, to reach-out the losts

They  do this movement because they knew to fulfill the Great Commission as what Jesus said to all believers. They are not afraid to be under CCC or staff, they do because they have hearts for others who need God's love-salvation.

  • Students Led Movement =/= Students Led Spiritual Activities
Movement is not equal to spiritual activities such as fellowship, bible study, or else. But spiritual activities can help to reach the purpose of movement. For example, if you have fellowship everyweek but just stay there, can you call it as movement? If you have continuous bible study but just bible study without the leader leads his/her disciples to lead discipleship and take initiative for movement, can you call it as movement?

  • The students leader are not working alone, they pray and challenge other students to take part
It's good to see movement not only by one student leader, they invite other students after share vision and challenge them to do the same, it's good to see movement as a team. You can support each others and encourage, you can discuss the strategy to reach-out the lost students in your campus, you can spend time together with bible study and free time like one hearted family in Christ. It's very WONDERFUL!

  • Staff just equipped student leaders, student leaders will decide and make the movement alive 
Like MAWL (Modelling, Assisting, Watching, Leaving), the same here, the first time, staff will be a model, then staff just assist as the student leaders take initiative to make the movement alive. Staff will watch and give feedback in addition for suggestions, and staff will leave, the student leaders will take full movement and do by the students. Kuya Jojo from CPU said, MAWL is like making the student to become a leader,

I lead you watch
I lead you assist
You lead I assist
You lead I watch

  • Fully depends on God to search His presence by prayer movement
The first goal of building movement is having prayer as the culture. By praying, we will know what God wants us to do, to align to Dream Giver's vision. By praying, we will be encouraged again, something we see as FAITH and not by SIGHT. So, when we fully depend on God, we know that Our Creator is bigger than our FEAR to do what Jesus commanded to us.

  • 4 C
To build the movement in our campus, we can have 4 C as the core mindset of movement, the first C is for commitment. When we have commitment to do our movement, this commitment is not for human, this commitment belongs to our God. The second C is for consistency, as the student leaders who lead the movement, we should have consistency that movement is the life-time journey. The third C is for creativity, I believe the students always have creativity, they should maximize their talents. The last C is for calling, actually as the students, they will have calling from God to do their movement after they finish their study in university (this is what we called 7 mountains).
