In Young Life there are two very distinct aspects of our ministry to
high school kids –evangelism and discipleship. Evangelism has
structure and definable parameters around it with the traditional tools
of contact work and the club meeting. Discipleship is simply the
continuation of that process, utilizing the tool of the Campaigner
meeting.
The goal of campaigners is described in John 15:16 and
II Timothy 2:2. Jesus, in His farewell discourse to His disciples said
in John 15:16, "You did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed
you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should
remain.” Jesus has appointed us to bear fruit; and that fruit should
remain. The emphasis for me is on the word remain, meaning our fruit
would continue to abide in Christ.
