The Zeal of the Lord Consumes Us!  Not nearly like it consumed our Lord Jesus Christ, but proclaiming His name to the lost is what drives us! Here is an excerpt from the blog of Campus Leader, Pastor John Chisham,
"[At a University in South Dakota], we met a lot of people who identified themselves as atheist, but many more who identified themselves as Christians, who lived as though Christ did not exist. I think the latter is far worse than the former, as far as dealing with them. At least the atheist is wrong, but intellectually honest. The "Christian" is wrong, and dishonest. There was one young lady in particular who said she was born again, but she was a lesbian. She did not agree with the teaching of the Bible in that area to say the least. She was very proud of her otherwise moral lifestyle. She had (according to her) really done nothing wrong. She had been saved, according to her, but it seemed like just an add on to her life, a label she kept for herself. Other Christians argued that they could live in a variety of other lifestyles of sin, and still be a Christian. We preached the gospel while we responded to questions with answers from the Bible.
Friends, God does not want your morality, he wants your heart! God will give you a new heart and a new nature, and morality will follow. It will not save you, but a Christian looks like and acts like a Christian."
 
There are thousands of campuses still in need of the biblical gospel. We need your help! If you are still not a part of the CCN Prayer Team, this is the time to join! The requirement is a heart committed to make intercession for this ministry and its endeavors to reach the lost.
