“Win the campus for Christ today; win the world for Christ tomorrow.” It was with these words that Dr. Bill Bright launched the ministry to students in 1951.

We believe that people reached for Christ during their student years are a vital resource for reaching the rest of the world with the gospel.

GCMN staff, students involved in our Student Life Movement and professionals descended on the Universite de N’djamena (Chad) and the University of Buea in Cameroun.

In both cases, the projects were planned in partnership with staff of our sister movements in the respective countries. In each case the visit of the Nigerians was an encouragement and boost to the people ministering in that campus. As you will see, the projects were also of great encouragement and challenge to the participants from Nigeria. (more…)
