Open House 2011

One of the keys to successfully mobilizing Laborers is helping them understand how they can multiply their lives through their God given SHAPE!

The word S.H.A.P.E. points to five specific characteristics:

• Spiritual Gifts: A set of special abilities that God has given you to
share his love and serve others.
• Heart: The special passions God has given you so that you can
glorify him on earth.
• Abilities: The set of talents that God gave you when you were
born, which he also wants you to use to make an impact for him.
• Personality: The special way God wired you to navigate life and
fulfill your unique Kingdom Purpose.
• Experiences: Those parts of your past, both positive and painful,
which God intends to use in great ways.

The vast majority of our students do not continue to labor on the college campuses, but within the public sector. It is essential that we help them understand that their unique gifts are Christ's masterpiece and workmanship (Eph. 2:10) which He gave them for His good works! We are trying to do a better job of helping students of ALL SHAPES find their path toward fruitful Kingdom Service!

A few weeks ago we were able to host our first Open House here at the GRC. We had 8 students come and take part in the activities (picture above). They were able to get a good glimpse of the vision and mission of the GRC and see how they could make a valuable impact through working with Campus Outreach as a Resource Staff. We made some great connections and look forward to following up with them throughout the year.
