We have a focus on ‘relational ministry’ with students.  Jim Burns puts it this way, “Long-term, positive influence on the lives of students comes from people, not programs.  Programs are a framework in which ministry exists.  Programs don’t minister- people minister.”  Relational ministry needs to be the way that we as leaders approach the students.  This is accomplished not by invasively asking pre-staged questions just to ‘get to know the students’, but by joining in common life experiences.  Letting students share in the lives of adults is a natural way for adults to impart wisdom, advice and the gospel of Jesus Christ to the students.
