MINISTRY REPORT '23
Shaping Tomorrow's Leaders: Campus Outreach Chicago's Mission
A WORD FROM THE DIRECTOR
Today's students are the future leaders of our world. They are facing significant challenges, including high levels of anxiety and depression, with suicide rates on the rise. As they move into positions of influence and inherit substantial wealth, the question arises: How will they handle this responsibility?
Our mission is to introduce these students to the hope and peace found in Jesus Christ. We believe that encountering Christ can transform their lives, impacting their marriages, families, careers, and society as a whole.
In the midst of changing times, with declining church attendance and a lack of biblical familiarity, we recognize the importance of nurturing devoted Christian leaders in both college campuses and local churches. Despite the challenges, we remain steadfast in our belief that Christ and the gospel provide hope and that people still need the love of Christ and a supportive Christian community.
We are deeply thankful for your support in spreading the Gospel through Campus Outreach Chicago. Your partnership is instrumental in helping shape the future through the transformation of today's students.
