Their faith is on the line.


Together we must...

reach them first

When a student reaches campus, everyone is recruiting.

They all know one thing

The decisions students make in the first few weeks of college often shape the 4 years that follow.

And these 4 years have the ability to 
shape the rest of their lives.​

The narrative of college historically has been that it is a time to do your own thing and go your own way.

But we know the way of Jesus is better.

We host 3-day 2-night retreats at 25 locations across the country to reach students for Christ before they step foot on campus.

At these retreats, students:

  • Connect with upperclassmen walking out their faith

  • Meet local churches and campuses ministries

  • Learn how to walk out their faith in college

Students leave the retreat rooted in Christ, strengthened through Christ-centered community & equipped to bear fruit for Christ's name on campus.

Our goal is that every freshmen going to one of these schools has the opportunity to be reached for Christ through these retreats on their campus. We need you if we are going to reach all of them. What we can do together is far greater than what either of us could do alone.

We want to reach an increasing number of freshmen each year but we need you to help us. We want you to help us bear more and more fruit on each campus. What we can do together is far greater than what either of us could do alone.

Will you join us to reach them first?

Every dollar you give makes it possible to host another retreat, welcome another freshman, and connect another student to the community that will anchor them through college and beyond.

Join our Ambassadors and commit to sharing about retreats to students, parents, churches, and ministries in your area. Our Ambassador team meets monthly online to connect with each other, hear retreat testimonies, and be equipped to share!
