"The year beyond words" is what many are calling 2011. I believe they're wrong!

No, I’m not talking about a moustache, but something much more significant! Pictured is Andrew, one of our up-and-coming CSLs (Committed Student Leaders) for 2012. At our recent CSL Thank You and Welcome Event, Enoch interviewed him about why he wants to be a CSL, and his answer is evidence of The Big Mo in action!
CSLs lead other students in Action Groups, and teach them how to share their faith. At the beginning of the year, we had 18. For next year, we have at least 30! This is clear evidence of momentum, key because it’s required to get others involved in bringing the good news to our campus. Not only do CSLs share their faith, but they help raise up future leaders to do the same!
Counting the number of people we share the gospel with, our aim is to have at least 30% of those conversations initiated by a CSL. Without CSLs, our movement wouldn’t be the same; we’re very grateful for students like Andrew giving up 4 hours a week during their busy study schedules! His answer to why he wants to be a CSL?

The future has curly hair and glasses. He studies physics and maths, and his name is Sean.
Without Sean, a CSL (committed student leader), our movement wouldn’t be what it is. People like him reach out to those that I can’t reach!
He enjoys being a CSL because “It gives an opportunity to be more involved in reaching out, and puts me in a position to encourage others.” He does this well; it’s his third year as a CSL! I asked him about the challenges of being a leader and sharing his faith, he said, “It’s easy to not have the time to share, not to prioritise it. But it’s so important! People often dismiss the truth about Christ based on what they’ve heard from others, without little or no thought of their own. They may even dismiss truth itself.”
Sean is a great example of someone taking what he learns and putting it into practice. That effects not only those he shares with, but me too! As his leader I’ve been encouraged by the way he lives out his faith, and the fact that he evidently puts God first. It enco...
Committed Student Leaders

A Committed Student Leader (CSL) is a student who steps up to the challenge of being a part of Student Life’s mission statement:
To see lost students turned into Christ-centered labourers through our movements on campus.
CSLs are one of the driving forces that keeps our movements going; they make disciples who make disciples. A CSL is committed to sharing their faith regularly and leading an Action Group (a group that meets for Bible study and sharing their faith on campus).
Next week we’ll be holding an event to say thank-you to those who have served as CSLs this year, and welcome those who are saying ‘yes’ to step up to this challenge for next year.
A CSL is both FAT and SIMPLE:
- Faithful
- Available
- Teachable
- Spirit Filled Life (understands and practices this).
- Initiative Evangelism: Takes the initiative to
share their faith with people. - Methods and Materials: Familiar with, and
committed to our methods and materials. - Purity in Relationships: Clearly maintains and
promotes purity in all relationships. - Lea...
