  means initiating relationships and sharing our
  faith.

  TeamRemember, each number represents a person
  that God cares for

How can this happen?

• Media Strategies
• www.everystudent.com (posters, billboards,
  t-shirts, ads, etc)
• Distribution Strategies
• Freshman Survival Kits with multiple pathways to
  the gospel
• Personal/Group Strategies
• Team meetings, Individual interviews and surveys
• Giving FSKs to friends/acquaintances individually

11
Potential Benefits of FSKs

• Positive PR/Publicity - Christian group giving
  out cool, free stuff.
• Broad-base Gospel Exposure - Numerous students
  are being exposed to the Gospel.
• Identify like-minded Christians and gather them
  together into transformational communities.
• Identify spiritually interested unbelievers by
  utilizing the Spiritual Interest Questionnaires.
• Create on-the-spot opportunities to share the
  Gospel with the students.

12
Freshman Survival Kit Strategy

• This is heavy on practicals
• Gather your team to pray
• Find out when you can give out materialsNew
  Student Orientation, Move in days, Club Fairs
• FSKs are allocated to area campuses
• FSKs are one of many strategies and a great way
  to start.
• Remember, even if you have give out kits before,
  people are receiving them for the first time.

13
Freshman Survival Kit Strategy

• Get surveys printed (from staff or
  www.godsquad.com)
• Get pens
• Have invitations to events (weekly meetings/small
  groups/Fall Getaway) at your table for people who
  want a little extra information.
• Have a poster to tell people that you are giving
  away free materials

14
At the table

• Meet early enough to get set up and get prayed up
• Try to have 6-10 people at the table so you can
  do immediate follow-up with people who express an
  interestmake sure to write appropriate notes on
  the back of cards
• Remember the point is to be making friends while
  exposing many to the gospel

15
At the table

• I like to get peoples attention by saying
  something like, Hey, have you gotten your bag of
  free stuff yet? This is Campus Crusade for
  Christ and were giving away these bags with cool
  stuff. If you wouldnt mind filling out a card
  that would be great!
• Smile and initiate with people. This is normal,
  start of the school year stuff. You can be bold
  and friendly and no one will mind. Respect
  people if they say no.

16
At the tablemore practicals

• Think of a line or two that describes CCCs
  weekly meeting, small groups, or events in a
  manner that is understandable and attractive to
  both Christians and those who are not
• Avoid Christianese that might not resonate with
  someone unfamiliar with our Christian subculture
• Eg. youth group and Praise and Worship

17
After the kits are distributed

• Praise God and Pray for the people whose names
  are on the cards
• Have someone immediately begin entering the
  information into the excel spreadsheet that the
  staff provide.
• Send an email within 24 hours to everyone who
  expressed an interest letting them know about
  events that you have going. Let them know that
  you will try to contact them by phone or in
  person as soon as possible.
