National WSN Team Planting Movements

This past week was an adventuresome week. Craig Johring, my co-leader showed up last Thurs with his feet already running. He has been the Nebraska state director in charge of reaching all the campuses in Nebraska. God has used him in a profound way. He has had teams of 1-5 and they have led over 20 campuses.


Right away we met in a staff meeting with a short team we have serving here with us. This team of 7-9 will do much of the surfacing of leaders on the over 350 campuses. We met with their team leader Jason Sorge on Friday and his whole team on Saturday at our house. I was encouraged by our time as we prayed for each university by name. We're trusting God to provide a leader for a Christ Centered spiritual movement on each campus and in each faculty (department).

Sunday was a day of rest. Hmm the Sabbath. We also got ready for over 40 of our national and regional WSN (Worldwide Student Network) directors for one of their annual conferences. They are taking seriously what we're doing down here in City Focus Mexico City so they wanted to be part of the early stages. On Monday Layo, our Director of Affairs for Central American and Mexico spoke about transforming our cities, not just with Campus Crusade movements but with city wide partnership with those who have the DNA of Kingdom work. Ken Miller, my direct boss and friend spoke on movements of God (from Households to the Kingdom).

Then Craig and I made a presentation on what is Enfoque Mexico or City focus to the English speakers and how to plant simple spiritual movements in one day. The day was perfect. We could tell the Holy Spirit was all over the alignment, vision, mission and tactics.

The next morning 40 or so staff went to about 20 campuses to trust God to surface spiritual leaders to start, lead and develop these movements. The reality is that with over 350 universities and with over 4,000 departments, we may never be able to go back to these campuses. We're trusting God to raise up leaders to lead them and we'll coach these students from a distance.

What a day. The stories were awesome. I'll write more as they continue to surface. We ended that night at our house with a Taco and Churro ice cream Extravaganza. It was fun to pray, see what God did and get anxious about the future movements that will take over this city and country.


I was so encouraged by our National Leader Keith Bubbulo and local director here in Mexico, Steve Morgan. They challenged us, encourage us and got behind the vision of reaching every student with multiple spiritual movements. We ended our time with them on the canals of Xochimilco. The original Mexico City. Great music, great food and killer friends.

Now, the next step: Recruit more laborers, get on more campuses, create an infrastructure and pray, pray, and pray.
