INVEST IN A FEW
“And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.”
-2 Timothy 2:2 Jesus had his twelve disciples, but he intentionally invested in three. He poured his life into the three, raising them up as leaders, telling them hard stuff, and working through some of the baggage they each had. |

TRAIN THE BODY
“So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”
-Ephesians 4:11-13
We are ultimately a team, working together on the same mission. Each with individual gifts, we want to be a place that helps students discover their gifts and train them to use those gifts for the advancement of the Kingdom. If we train students how to be engaged in ministry now, then when they leave ENMU this will carry into their local church where ever God leads them. Christ has clearly stated to use the church and only the church to display his Glory.

PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
-Acts 1:8
We believe that the campus of ENMU will not be reached by inviting students to come to one building, to listen to one ‘qualified’ man speak, on one stage, once a week. Instead we believe in equipping students to proclaim the gospel in their natural rhythms of life. God has strategically given each student gifts and has placed them in specific dorms, majors, classrooms, organizations, and athletic teams for his glory. By equipping multiple students, the gospel message will go beyond the walls of the BSU and be proclaimed more than once a week. We deeply believe that the gospel is powerful enough to change the hardest of hearts and the Holy Spirit is able enough to use ordinary people proclaim a extraordinary message.
