1. Very few new students ever attend.
2. When a new student comes, he or she seldom ever come back a second time.
3. Core students do not invite or bring friends with them.
4. Students do not serve in missions or ministry opportunities.
5. When student graduate or leave school, most do not continue a walk with the Lord and/or involvement with a church.
6. The ministry has a bad reputation on campus.
7. There is no pride in events or activities being done with excellence.
8. Students have no desire to serve or lead in the ministry in any way. They are strictly there as a time filler or because they have no other place to belong.
9. There is no awareness of the ministry on campus.
10. A total misperception has developed about the ministry relative to theology, etc.
11. Misbehavior by core students or student leaders has given the ministry a black eye.
12. There is no sense of a movement of God in any way.
This is not an all or nothing list. It is not, "If we only have six of these, we are ok.". One or two of these can can be a major issue for your ministry being all you and the Lord would have it be.
