Still Confused?

Still confused what does Student-led Movements look like both in base & catalytic campuses?

I would say... The only difference of Base & Catalytic is the SCOPE. Base = 1 Campus. Catalytic = >7 Campuses

Now, what is the staff doing in a student-led movements?

Staff continues to do personal ministry of evangelism & discipleship. He shares the gospel, he also looks for the existing Christians to mobilize, follows up & disciples them so that they too will share the gospel, find existing christians to mobilize and disciple to multiply. It's still WIN, BUILD, SEND. Remember MAWL? It's Model. Assist. Watch. Leave. (There's detailed note posted in this group).

Now, what does the student-led movement look like if the staff are doing win-build-send in the campus?

Students are also doing WIN, BUILD, SEND as a process to see Spiritual
Multiplication. In fact, they are a product of the staff personal ministry. Or should I say, some of them are the disciples of the staff, those first generations by staff. They do the ministry as the staff MAWLed it with them.


We know by principle that it's student-led if students own their campuses for Jesus. They take the initiative, rally their fellow students to pray and strategize/plan to reach their campus for Jesus. If we disciple the students well, "helping" them be
Rooted in God's word, being independently dependent, we can be confident that they can do it. And as they lead the movement, we can coach them how to become effective    leaders.

One practical application is by selecting a set of leaders (or core leaders) on campus/es. Of course some of them, if not all, might be direct disciples of staff, depending on what stage that movement is. An assigned staff/team leader is responsible to meet them on a regular basis for coaching.

Discipleship continues (by staff & student leaders). Coaching also continues among the core leaders and the staff point person. The Core Leaders are providing leadership for the campus movements, rallying their fellow disciples under the chain (both staff and students) to reach their campus/es for Jesus. Yes, staff simply focus on giving their best to disciple well as Jesus did. Eventually, if students are discipled well, I believe, they will get the DNA of crusade. We staff are DNA keepers and we can only make it a reality if we apply it in our ministry of evangelism & discipleship.

So, who plan, as in plan for the year-round activities in the context of win, build, send to reach a campus? STUDENTS! The Core leaders take the lead. Staff point person coaches the Core leaders' point person. Can students do it? Of course! Staff coach them. We disciple the students. Remember, we disciple students to grow in Christ so that they too can do the same with others--- winning them for Christ, and discipling them to do the same also.

So does it mean that the staff will
No longer plan for campus/es? I would say, it depends on the CONTENT/FOCUS of the PLAN. Staff can plan in SUPPORT to the PLAN of the students. As they review students' plan and coach them, STAFF can come up their own PLAN for the Campus/es. Staff may focus on the Leadership Development of the Students in the context of reaching a campus for Jesus, or it could be a PLAN to help the students love JESUS deeply and have COMPASSION for the Lost.

We discussed this before...

"When talking about Student-led there are often a number of common misconceptions – so let’s clarify what Student-led IS NOT:

Student-led does not necessarily mean the absence of staff. Fulltime laborers and other leaders have a significant role to play in Student-led models of ministry.

Student-led does not just mean just having students in leadership. Students can becontrolling and fail to give away ownership of the movement just like any person.

Student-led does not mean CCC staff are passive or unimportant. Staff must always be highly committed and very engaged. While Student-led will affect how staff engage, relevant leaders are never disengaged from reality. Any leader must be mindful of words, attitudes, and actions that stifle ownership.

Student-led is not the absence of CCC distinctives. Student-led will include core CCC distinctive such as initiative evangelism, multiplying discipleship, the Spirit-filled life, and transferability."
