It’s interesting to me that people begin grand ideas and dreams and they often fail to think about what would happen if they actually succeed. We are hard wired to consider what would happen if we failed, but success is often more of an elusive thought. When I set out to write, College Impact: Empowering Collegiate Christians for Campus Influence, I tried not to make that mistake. Now, I am seeing the reality of what I thought was remotely possible, and I am still a little blown away.

I have seen the affects of the principles in College Impact in the lives of my students, and it has been miraculous. One example is Samantha T. who ran for and was voted senior class president. She took the position so that she could influence the lives of her classmates for the next 50 years. There is also Eugene D. who is leading His campus ministry in what would be considered, in many circles, revival. That is fruit from my labor, and it should be expected. Not because I am anything, but because God is good.

The thing that has been “wowing” me is the numbers of students that have been getting their copy of “College Impact” and actually making a difference on their perspective campuses. One student is Kwame who is a student at a Georgia school. I spoke to him and a few other students from his school, and he was so inspired that he is not only running for student government president, he is also using my basic premise, “Reach the Campus, Reach the World” for his campaign tag line.

This is what my book is all about, helping students find the most strategic place to shine for Jesus. When students decide to live in a way that brings glory to Him, they as adults would live the same way. This was the big dream when writing the book, and the fact that it is happening is overwhelming my heart. It is my constant prayer that God would use those words to change students, campuses, and the world. So, please join me as I continue to push this book as far as it can go, so that more Samantha’s, Eugene’s, and Kwame’s wake up to the greatness God has for them.
