Party Bus, Planting, & Praying…Reaching Unreached Campuses

Jon Wong, an intern at USC working with fraternity students, is sharing on the bus ride about why he chose to start something new for God.

Last night as a response to my talk on Acts 8 and the story of Philip and the Ethiopian, I a gave a surprising and spontaneous response to the students. I asked them if God was to invite them to “Go South” now, who would be down?

I then told them that I had a bus parked outside and I had 20 tickets for the most eager people that wanted to go to an unreached campus right now and pray.

It was 10pm and we would be back at 1am.

20 students quickly ran down and we were off.

The goals of the night were these:

  1. To see which students were the most open and spontaneous…who had the planting spirit
  2. To encourage students to care about not only their own campus but the 70 in Los Angeles. 50 of which have very little to know witness.
  3. To learn about planting and hear stories and preaching to encourage them to go “where God is wanting to work next”
  4. To pray for an unreached place and call down the Kingdom of God there.
  5. To Have fun! Planting should be fun and the most fun…I think 🙂

Check out the video and see how the driver responded! Incredible

    Move that Bus!

    Hi, Beau! Enjoy the blog. We’re taking a tour bus next week to Arkansas as a whole Red River InterVarsity team to plant! The University of Arkansas in Fayetteville is one of our “unreached” campuses, though there are many amazing ministries there and God is at work! After 8 years without an InterVarsity chapter, our prayer is to replant one and get in on the action. In Luke 10:6 Jesus exhorts the disciples for find “people of peace” in the towns where he sends the seventy. God’s provided his people of peace to host almost all 55 of us! Homes to stay in, meals provided, transportation, booths and rooms on campus — friends are showing us incredible hospitality! Thanks for your prayers as we’ll be on campus Thursday, November 21.
