CAMPUS MINISTRY

 

Defining our cause

Campus Crusade for Christ International was founded in 1951 at UCLA by Bill and Vonette Bright. There are currently about 60 ministries under our global mission’s umbrella. 

The Campus Ministry is one of them - that’s us. We go by “Agape Action” under the umbrella of Agape Life Belgium (ALB). Since the beginning, God has called our international mission to help fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) in this generation by winning, building, and sending. As an ALB movement on Belgian university campuses, we are creating a Christ-centered community for all…, so that every student knows someone who truly follows Jesus.

 

OUR MISSION

Turn lost students into Christ-centered laborers. (Matthew 28:18-20; Matthew 9:36-38)

This is what our mission means:

  • Taking the initiative to share our faith so that every student on every campus can hear the gospel in an attractive, meaningful manner. (Win) Colossians. 1:28, Romans 10:13-14.

  • Offering a place where Christian students can connect with other Christians and grow in their faith. (Build) Ephesians 2:10; 2 Timothy 2:2.

  • Equipping students to walk with God for a lifetime and have an impact for Christ on the campus and in the world. (Send) 2 Corinthians 5:14-15; Revelations 5:9; Romans 12:1-2; Matthew 24:14.

 

OUR SOURCE

We know that apart from Christ we can do nothing. So all the above is fruitless if we do not depend on the Lord to work in and through us.

1. The Holy Spirit is the One who glorifies Christ. When we place our trust in Christ as Savior and Lord, Christ enters the lives of believers by His Holy Spirit. Jesus said many things about Him:

  • He is our helper. (John 14:26;15:26)

  • He is our teacher. (John 16:13)

  • He gives us the power to share Christ with others. (Acts 2:8)

  • The Holy Spirit does not focus on Himself, He glorifies Christ. (John 16:14)

  • The Holy Spirit develops His character in our lives. (Galatians 5:22-23)

2. Prayer. God longs for every person to know Him. He wants us to depend on Him. One of the best ways to demonstrate our dependence and faith is simply by talking with the Lord about what is on our hearts, minds, and what we long for Him to do on the campus.

  • Ask the Lord to increase your faith. (Philippians 1:9-11; Colossians 1:9-12; Colossians 3:16)

  • Ask the Lord to open the hearts of people on campus to the gospel and to respond in faith to Jesus’ love and forgiveness. (Matthew 7:7-11)

  • Remember, even if only a few of you are praying together, Jesus is there with you (Matthew 18:20)

 

OUR SCOPE

Every student. We want to link arms with Christian students, volunteers, and churches to help give every student an opportunity to say “Yes!” to Christ and experience God’s love and forgiveness. We look for every available means to share Christ in a relevant and compassionate manner. 

Every person on earth, starting with people in Belgium. We are committed to unite with the body of Christ in Belgium to help accelerate evangelization through ongoing training, discipleship, and prayer. We want to influence a chain reaction of people reaching people with the Good News of Christ’s love and forgiveness. 

We long to see students in Belgium experience life-transforming journeys – beginning with truly accepting Jesus and choosing to follow Him. Though they make up only 13% of the global population, they are tomorrow’s leaders – doctors, engineers, teachers, policymakers, etc. “If we can reach the university today, we can impact the world tomorrow.”

Although Europe has a rich Christian heritage – the first church on the continent was planted in Philippi, Macedonia by the Apostle Paul around AD 50 (Acts 16:6-15) – today it is considered the most unreached continent, with less than 3% of people claiming a relationship with Jesus (according to the Joshua Project – a research initiative seeking to identify the least-reached people groups of the world). 

Belgium, in particular, is very much in need of strong believers and outreach. 

In Belgium, over half the population identifies as “no religion,” one third as Roman Catholic (largely nominal), 6% as Muslim, and only 1% as Protestant. 

At the same time, cities like Antwerp and Brussels have become melting pots of nations, and Belgian university campuses are filled with students from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and across Europe. This creates both challenges and opportunities, since reaching students here means the gospel can ripple back to their home countries. In this way, evangelism and discipleship on Belgian campuses carry a global impact.
