Why CCF? [back to CCF menu]
The Campus is a vital mission field, Christian students are thus missionaries to it. (Matt 28:19-20)
Love is the mark of all Christians. (John 13:34-35) The easiest way to show our love on campus is to establish a caring, sharing, loving Christian group. How ca non-Christians see our love without seeing us together?
It's easier for Chinese to reach other Chinese. This is the same reason for the existence of the Chinese Church. We need target ministries, even Paul had one. We must have burden for Chinese student. If we don't, who will?
Non-believers are often more open to coming to a campus meeting on their "turf" rather than going to a foreign environment such as the church which is our "turf". Thus like all missionary efforts, we must go to the lost and must not wait for the lost to come to us.
CCF can perpetrate the campus more effectively with the Gospel than the local church because it meets in the campus, knows the needs of those in the campus and have daily contacts with the non-Christians.
The danger of not being in CCF is that we might have a tendency to shy away from evangelism because the church is just so far away and often hidden from the campus.
