Select a question:

 

1. What does a CCN fellowship look like? Is it only training in evangelism?
 

CCN fellowships are held weekly on college campuses and are led by approved Campus Leaders. Although CCN encourages Christians to share and defend their faith biblically, effectively, and boldly on campus, it is not the sole focus of the ministry.

CCN is designed to provide a loving environment, where students can learn more about the Christian faith, grow in their knowledge of the scriptures, strengthen their foundational doctrine, worship the Lord, pray as a family in Christ, and enjoy the fellowship of like believers.

We believe that the most valuable gift we can give to college student is the Word of God. Therefore, each fellowship is designed to encourage students to get to know and fall more in love with the Lord Jesus Christ through reading and understanding the Scriptures.

2. What sort of training materials do you use to teach students how to effectively spread the gospel?
  The primary resource that CHANGE Collegian Network uses to train students in biblical evangelism is the Bible. CCN does not equip students with new marketing techniques or "cool new" tactics to draw people to Christ. CCN uses the proven biblical principles taught by Jesus Himself and practiced by His disciples. CCN creates tools and materials based on biblical principles to help guide students in their understanding of sharing the Word. 

CCN also utilizes training materials created by Evangelist Ray Comfort of Living Waters Publications and The Way of the Master. Ray Comfort's ministry has been commended by Franklin Graham, Ravi Zacharias, John MacArthur, David Jeremiah, Josh McDowell, Dr. Norman Geisler, Bill Gothard, David Wilkerson, Joni Eareckson Tada, and many other Christian leaders. He has written for Billy Graham's Decision magazine and Dr. Bill Bright's Worldwide Challenge.
His literature is used by the Moody Bible Institute, Leighton Ford Ministries, Campus Crusade For Christ, Institute in Basic Life Principles, and the Institute for Scientific & Biblical Research. He has also written more than 40 books and is a regular platform speaker at Southern Baptist State Conferences. His videos were seen by more than 30,000 pastors in 1992, and he has spoken in more than 700 churches, from almost every denomination.
CCN also utilizes additional materials, including books by Mark Cahill Ministriesand the Christian Apologetics Research Ministry (CARM). To learn more about biblical evangelism, please visit our FREE resources page.
3. What happens after a student is saved on the college campus? How do you offer discipleship?
 

CCN believes that once an individual is saved, the new convert should be discipled (Matthew 28:19-20). CCN accomplishes this first by partnering with local churches to help filter new converts into churches, who agree to provide personal discipleship. CCN also provides CCN Campus Leaders with a one-to-one New Converts Bible Study Guide to help develop new converts in a personal, initmate way, while transitioning them into appropriate churches. This aids in growing new believers spiritually, as well as cultivating meaningful relationships with Christians on campus.

Lastly, new converts are encouraged to attend CCN Training Fellowships, where they learn more about their faith, how to share it, and how to defend it.
 
4. How can I get CCN on my campus?
  If you are interested in seeing souls saved on your campus and uniting the Body of Christ to witness proactively and biblically, then please visit our Get CCN on Your Campus page.

 
5. What is CCN Saturday?
 

CCN Saturday is a monthly event currently held in the New York/New Jersey metro area, where students from local campuses gather together for a day of fasting, prayer, worship, Word, street evangelism, open-air preaching, and godly fellowship. 

This event encourages students to see the mission field beyond the college campus and to help prepare them for everyday witnessing in the "real world". CCN Saturday also helps encourage students to labor for their local church in the area of evangelism by helping them gain experience in evangelizing neighborhoods, feeding the poor, and other activities that help students grow in their ministry.

6. How does CCN support the local church efforts?
 

CCN believes that evangelism should come primarily from the local church. We believe that the Lord has raised up CCN to assist and help build up the local church in the area of evangelism on and off the college campus.   

CCN accomplishes this through (1) filtering new converts into churches that agree to our vision and doctrinal statement and agree to disciple new converts, and (2) providing free training in biblical evangelism through our Evangelism Crash Course. Churches that are interested in this training may contact us at contact@changeyourcampus.net.  

7 How can I get CCN to come and perform an evangelism training at my youth group/ men/women ministry/church, etc?
 

As stated above, CCN provides free training in biblical evangelism through our Evangelism Crash Course. Ministries that are interested in this training may contact us at contact@changeyourcampus.net.  

 
8. How does CCN minister to the physical needs of people in other countries?
 

CCN believes that the core need of man is spiritual. Man must be made right with God through faith in Jesus Christ, because all of mankind is sinful and will face God on Judgment Day.

CCN also believes that as Christians, we have a biblical mandate to help those who are in physical need as well. An example of this is seen in Matthew 25:31-46. Therefore, CCN has created a Partnership Program, which allows students to work alongside those ministries that equipped to help individuals in need. Students are taught how to effectively assist and promote these ministries on campus, while using the opportunity as a platform to preach the biblical gospel boldly to fellow students.

9. Where can I purchase interesting and effective gospel tracts and other evangelistic materials?

10. Does CCN host "evangelism boot camps?"
 

Yes. CCN facilitates a yearly evangelism boot camp, called "Repent and Witness", which is held in the summer. Repent and Witness is designed to help ignite students in sharing their faith and living boldly for Christ on and off their campus. The 4-day evangelism camp is held in New York City, USA, and features an exhilarating schedule packed with group prayer, worship, men/women morning devotionals, the Word of God, street evangelism and open-air preaching. 

Attendees may raise support for this evangelism camp/mission trip. When a camp is approaching, information will be placed on the front page of the website, along with information on how to raise funds, if needed.

11. I am currently not a college student. How can I get involved in CCN?
 

You do not need to be a college student to become involved in CCN. If there is a fellowship located at your local college, you may attend as long as the school permits you on campus. You are also free to apply for a Campus Leader position if you have a heart for the lost on the college campus. If you wish to participate in CCN Saturday events and evangelism camps, you may. However, please note that preference is given to college and High School students for admission into our evangelism camps due to limited space. 

We also welcome you to become part of our ministry's official Prayer Team. Team members make a commitment to pray for the ministry daily and to receive prayer requests and praise reports via email. If you wish to join our Prayer Team, please email us at prayer@changeyourcampus.net.
