This is Part Two of a two-post series on reaching international students.
In Part One, I addressed the WHY, with 9 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BE REACHING INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS…YESTERDAY.
Now in Part Two, I’ll present a list of ideas on HOW.
Call me crazy, but with the launch of Shaping Their Future just a few days away now, I figured it might be time to get started on my next book.
CAMPUS gODS: Exposing the Idols That Can Derail Your Present and Destroy Your Future
How’s that sound for a working title?
Approximately 20 million college students attend universities in the US and approximately one million of them are international students.
Do the math. That means roughly one out of every 20 college students in the US is from another country!
It’s time for us to be more intentional about reaching international students. That’s why I’ve written this Two Part series. So before I share some ideas for HOW to minister to international students, let’s first consider nine reasons WHY:
Sex, love, books and football — they all made the list of this month’s Top Posts(*).
Special thanks to those who contributed guest posts for the 2013 Sex & the Soul Blogathon!
Now on to the countdown…
A BIG THANKS to all who turned out for the 3rd Annual Sex & the Soul Blogathon!! So many great posts — and conversations begun.
And a special THANKS! to Abbie Smith for offering 5 copies of her forthcoming book Celibate Sex: Musings on Being Loved, Single, Twisted, and Holy.
Everyone who Tweeted, Shared, posted, or commented over the three-day event were eligible to win — and randomly assigned a number. Five numbers were then selected — at random — from Random.org.
The WINNERS of a copy of Abbie Smith’s Celibate Sex are:
The primary reason that college students leave their faith in college is their personal desire for sexual freedom and its incompatibility with religious morality.
Approximately 65% of all college students have had sex.
25% of college women’s first encounter with sex was unwanted or forced.
Less than 30% of college students have had a healthy conversation with their parents about the “birds and the bees”

It will officially release on March 11th, but you can get your 40 page preview here…
Friends! I find it hard to believe my first book Shaping Their Future: Mentoring Students Through Their Formative College Years will release one month from today — on March 11th!!
It just doesn’t seem real to me. But my publisher assures me this is really happening.
In preparation for its release, I’ve made a few changes to the blog that I’d like to tell you about.
We’ve officially survived January! I’m not sure what it was like where you live — but I’m thankful to not live in the location of the photo above.
With the flip of the calendar page we’ve started the spring term, as well as the second half of the ministry season. In some instance we carry forward our ministry efforts that began back in the fall term — and in other instances we are given the chance to start afresh.
And before you know, we’ll be on our way to spring break!
Below is a list of the Top 10 most viewed posts from the month of January* — hope you enjoy!
