GOD’S LEADING

Yesterday we were notified that our offer did NOT go through. (Evidently, others outbid us). In spite of the apparent disappointment for losing this facility, we believe God has answered our prayers:

“Our Heavenly Father has a thousand ways to provide for us of which we know nothing. Those who accept the one principle of making the service of God supreme, will find perplexities vanish and a plain path before their feet.” (Ellen G. White, Ministry of Healing, p. 481)

This means we must continue to pray for the Lord (1) to lead us to another facility of His choice and once it is found (2) to provide ALL the resources we need to procure that facility. Meanwhile, as we pray for God’s leading, we are considering all options – including purchasing a plot of land and to build a facility customized to meet our specific needs.

THE CHALLENGE

The price of real estate near the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor is unbelievably very high. A simple facility on or near the campus sufficient to meet our needs will cost about $1.5m – an amount that is beyond the current resources of CAMPUS.

PROSPECTS

To date, we have received commitments and pledges of up to about $300,000 towards the CAMPUS House. With God’s help and your efforts, we believe we can raise at least $1m within 30 days towards the much-needed facilities.

• CAMPUS (Center for Adventist Ministry for Public University Students) is widely recognized as one of the most credible Seventh-day Adventist secular campus ministries in North America.
• However, we desperately need a facility for the Missionary Training Program and other evangelistic and campus ministries activities.
• Miraculously, a three-story, 32+ room building has just opened up in Ann Arbor, near the University of Michigan campus.  Though originally listed at $2.5 million, the property is now slightly below $1 million.
• CAMPUS is one of nine other groups that have expressed great interest in this property.  If offered the property, CAMPUS would need to come up with $1 million within 45 days.
• We need your prayers and generous financial support to procure this property or a comparable one.  Send your tax-deductible contribution to:

• Additional reasons why CAMPUS is counting on your prayers and financial support:
• It has earned the trust of young people as a place where lives are transformed.
• It is a Center where brilliant and godly Seventh-day Adventist leaders are developed to engage the world of secular campuses and win souls for Christ.
• It is the birthplace and sponsor of GYC (Generation of Youth for Christ), a thriving, grassroots, revival movement organized and led by Adventist young adults.
• It has a biblically-grounded philosophy and methodology of ministry.
• It is the only Seventh-day Adventist secular campus ministry with a viable, sustainable, carefully-planned, and year-round program of training for students (e.g., LEADS Conference, ExCEL Program, Annual Retreats, publications, etc.).
• It has succeeded in creating a spiritual movement of young people which is Bible-based, mission-driven, and racially-diverse.
• It is fulfilling E.G.White's 1895 statement that ministry to secular campuses is "a work [that] must be done, and it will be done by those who are led and taught of God" (3 SM 234).  Interestingly, this statement was made in connection with The University of Michigan!  Thus, CAMPUS may be seen as a fulfillment of a 100-year old prophecy.
