One of the most eye opening books in our Cultivate reading list is I Once Was Lost by Don Everts and Doug Schuapp. They write about their experience as campus staff with Intervarsity,

“We came up with our evangelism strategy while we were alone in a room together with a bunch of Christians. Not once in our brainstorming and planning did we ask where are our non-Christian fellow students were coming from. Not once did we try to find out what they might need to take a step toward Jesus. We were mostly coming up with something we wanted to do, not something that would be actually helpful to those unsuspecting sunbathers in the quad.”

Watch the video and then ask yourself, “what kind of new church would help Ben find faith in Jesus?”
