Hi, I’m Ben Korinek.Let’s pretend that we’re sitting down to have a cup of coffee together and talk. Now that we feel comfortable, let’s begin!
Imagine with me……Imagine a country where 50-70% of all students raised in Christian homes abandon their faith after high school, creating a church that is slowly bleeding to death.
Imagine with me……Imagine a country where only 3% of college students are actively involved with a church
Imagine with me……Imagine a country that is considered the 3rd largest unreached nation in the world, surpassed only by China and India…
No need to imagine- this is modern-day America.
33rdrd LARGEST LARGEST Unreached Unreached
NationNation
It’s hard to believe America is the 3rd LARGEST unreached nation!
But one of the most unreached places in the 3rd largest unreached nation is the college campus…
That’s why we believe the university is the MOST strategic mission field in the world!
Think about it…
-The nation’s future teachers, lawyers, engineers,
artists, film-makers, entrepreneurs-the molders of society-are attending our universities right now.Imagine the impact for the Kingdom they could
have…
Think about it…
-40% of political leaders in foreign nations send
their sons and daughters to American universities.Imagine the impact these international students
could have in their home countries…A true way to fulfill the Great Commission!
Think about it…
-80% of people who come to know Christ do so
before the age of 25.In a sense, this may be our last opportunity to
reach the 3 million students attending our universities
Look,There are TONS of good reasons to reach the university. But why don’t I let you hear it from the students themselves…

If you think about it, the world’s future politicians, teachers, doctors, business leaders, directors, authors, actors, musicians, engineers, etc. are being trained in our Universities.-So you don’t like the kind of music they’re coming out with these days? You don’t like the political policies they’re drafting? You don’t like the movies they’re making these days? For that to change, then we gotta reach the university!
The point is, we are doing something exciting on the college campus.
