MIND GAMES Conference |
This Ain't No Sunday School!
 | Saturday October 14, 2000 Mount Nittany Middle School, State College, PA |
Do your college or high school students know how to think biblically? Think again!
Over half of Christian students drop out of church after they go to college.
There is no room for complacency about preparing our Christian young people for
the college years. Despite renewed vitality and growth among Bible-believing
churches, statistics still indicate that over half of the Christian students
enrolled in a college freshman class have dropped out of church by the time they
graduate.
Can we expect our Sunday schools or church youth ministries to handle this
problem?
As one Sunday school teacher recently commented, "...our youth are
bombarded with so much conflicting information at school and through the
media-particularly television--and from their peers. It's just hard to have much
of an impact with the hour or hour-and-a-half that you spend with them."
Many institutions of higher learning have strayed from their Christian roots.
Instead of building upon their Christian foundations, colleges are promoting
nearly every non- or anti-Christian philosophy that has arisen. They have not
only ignored Christian thought but have relegated it to the status of an
insignificant folk myth, denying it a valid place in the "free exchange of
ideas."
Probe Ministries' Mind Games College Survival Course was designed to equip college and older high school students for the intellectual, cultural, and spiritual challenges of campus life. This is accomplished by simulating the college setting-combining mind-stretching lectures on the sciences and humanities with solid reference materials which can be used as problems arise.
About Probe Ministries: Based in Richardson, Texas, Probe Ministries was founded in 1973 by James F. Williams Jr., who sought to form a ministry that would bridge the frontier between the agonizing questions man asks and the profound answers the Gospel offers. Beginning with the vision and no staff, Probe has grown today to form a working unit oF 15 scholars and 10 support staff, along with the service of numerous volunteers. Probe s mission is to present balanced, biblically-based perspectives on a multitude of issues while training Christian students and adults to develop a Christian world view.
