Most have the view of the perfect College Minister as being one who wows people with his or her personality. They come to a ministry and instantly students and supporters are drawn to them and the ministry booms. But, not all of us who are called to college ministry are the super personality type.....did God make a mistake in our call or did we mis-hear what God was saying?
I must say that I have come to the conclusion that I will take organization every time....if the two don't go together. A "Personality Ministry" usually disappears or dwindles down the instant the personality is gone. A ministry built over time by organization tends to outlast the organizer.
Organization develops a variety of leaders and shares ownership. If God has blessed you with the big personally, be grateful, but work on your organization. I must tell you the vast majority of large or strong college ministries with which I am familiar are led by organization people.
Organizing multiplies your ministry. When student leaders are developed and trained, they tend to reach a wider variety of students.
But, I still believe that Campus Ministers ought to walk across the campus and through the Student Center EVERY day.
