"To reach a particular campus group, reach one student in that group."
"It takes three years to establish a college ministry or for an existing ministry to become yours."

"Once a student has been inside your facility or regular meeting place, they are more likely to come back."
"A college ministry will reflect the strengths and weaknesses of the leader."
"The unforgiveable sin in college ministry is not getting a students name and contact info the first time they visit a ministry event."
