Dave Bish recently wrote a wonderful list of what ifs for CUs, which I feel the need to share here.
- We, in Christian Unions, started to think of everything we do as missional?
- We abolished ‘CU Evangelism Secretary’ because the CU President is responsible for evangelism…
- Everything we did was tailored towards intentionally driving us to mission?
- Mission was the focus of our prayer?
- Each week we could share the story of how people became Christians?
- We understood that having the Bible taught was about transforming and equipping us for mission as lovers of Jesus?
- We engaged with the false gospels preached on our campuses, of acceptance, shame, ambition, salvation by graduate job, security, money,…
- We engaged with the fears and hopes that people have – which the gospel has better answers for…
- We did mission weeks based on evangelistic preaching series on Job, Ecclesiastes, Ruth, Song of Songs – done right, publicised right…
