NSP 2020-21 Annual Report

First, students took their Christian club meetings and outreaches online. The world was still reeling
from the early days of 2020 and students were hungrier than ever for truth and hope. We even saw
students from other faith backgrounds join these online events.
Second, students continued reaching out through personal witnessing. In addition to personally
witnessing to their classmates, students went a step further by recording their testimonies and posting
the videos on their social media—no small feat for a young person!
Third, while large in-person outreaches on campus weren’t an option for every student, many led
small group evangelistic Bible studies and gospel conversation groups at local parks and even in their
backyards! Here their classmates had the space to ask some of life’s biggest questions about God.
Fourth, students sent out evangelistic surveys to their entire schools. These digital surveys prompted
questions about God, gauged students’ spiritual interest, and provided a natural way for student
leaders to reach out to students who expressed interest in God. Students diligently gathered the email
address of everyone at their school, divided the list between their leaders, and personally wrote to each
student. The surveys asked questions like “In your opinion, what makes life meaningful or purposeful?”
and “If you could ask God one question, what would it be?”
One of our student leaders who took this challenge is Xavier, a senior and Christian club president from
Green, OH. His leadership team sent surveys to every student on their campus and over 200 responded.
Many of these students went on to attend the club’s Meant for More Week in May.
One of the most unexpected ways that God advanced the gospel to reach students who otherwise
would not have been reached was through a new online outreach initiative. As our
mission field became restricted overnight, God simultaneously opened new doors to reach students
with the gospel online.
This year, we launched a brand new outreach site for our Meant for More Campaign at MeantForMore.
us. The website is full of testimonies from students and influential believers. It also provides students
the opportunity to chat with someone who cares. Trained “gospel coaches” are available 24/7 to
connect with students and share the hope of Christ with them.
In conjunction with this site, we also launched a series of social media ads featuring William Green,
former NFL running back for the Cleveland Browns and one of our most requested guest speakers.
In the ads, William speaks directly to young people and shares his story. Scan the QR code below to
view one of William’s ads now. In the last 6 months, William’s ads were seen by over 1.5 million people!
As these ads invite young people to click to hear more, they are brought to MeantForMore.us where
they can listen to William not only share his full testimony and present the gospel, but also personally
invite them to repent and believe. Head to our Digital Multipliers section to read more about the impact
our evangelistic content has had on social media this year, including the testimonies of students who
repented and were baptized as a result of it!
All told, by God’s grace and your partnership,
the evangelistic content we’ve put on social
media has been seen over 18 million times!
