20 Students

Tonight I logged some time with my good friend John Boudreaux (doing the deed at LSU). We (ok maybe I did too much of the talking) were dreaming about how you could leverage our afternoon exercise at CSU on a local level. Here's a shot.

1. Bring in all the staff, and top 20 student leaders (if you don't have 20, as many as you can get). (Important Safety Tip: These students need to be missional, not simply righteous - there must be a sign of life and a passion to see their school changed with the gospel).
2. Ask the question - Two years from now there is 10% of the student body involved in spiritual things. How did we do it?
3. Let each person contemplate for 5-10 minutes.
4. Group them together in 4s and have them consolidate the plan.
5. Present the plans (no comments, just presentations in short blurbs).
6. Consolidate the whole. Bring out the best emergent ideas and consolidate similar ideas.
7. For each piece of the plan, have students / staff volunteer for what they want to implement. As each person votes with their feet, you are actually building your strategic plan.
8. Do it.
   
   Ok, it might not be this crisp, but talk about getting students involved. They just wrote your job description. What if you did this with the top 100 students!
