This aspect of strong chapters is not always as well done as leaders wish it could be, but the atmosphere is far more important than technical excellence. The goal is to create a worshipful atmosphere. Schools surveyed all claim that high- caliber speakers and teachers make a difference. Some chapters focus on topics, others on theological issues and still others on systematic Bible exposition. It's important to distinguish between evangelism that is carried out as individuals and that which is carried out as a chapterwide thrust involving all members.
Strong chapters are in the position to take risks corporately.
Since this is can be an area of extreme risk, staff members are often highly involved as catalysts. Second, the groups usually have a strong working strategy to help different segments of the campus respond. Strategies include small groups doing outreach together, evangelistic coffee houses, investigative Bible discussions, dorm discussions, intramural teams and friendships in classes and housing units. Training in evangelism and in understanding culture and ethnicity is also a high priority, and most strong fellowships encourage students toward events such as Florida evangelism projects, global projects and Urbana conventions. Many chapters use the same Bible study material to provide a cohesiveness throughout the group.
