Campus
Missionaries Commissioned
At the Montanayouth.com
convention this year the Campus Missionaries (CM'S)
of Montana were commissioned. This year we celebrate the fact that
we have
more campus missionaries than ever before! (Almost 500)
This years
commissioning service took on a new flavor. In past years
Governor Judy Martz was present to challenge the students. This
year, 5
students commissioned their peers to Pray Live Tell Serve and Give
to their
campus.
"I am a senior at Bozeman High" said
Zach, so you would call me a student,
and as he held up the year book from his school he said, "but
because of all
of the faces in this yearbook that represent people that don't
know Jesus
Christ, I AM A CM!"
I am an athlete,
a daughter, a son, a Bronco fan, and so on it went as
Kathleen, Rachel, Zach, Laura, and Shantel describe themselves
to the over
1100 students and leaders in the audience. Each one had a picture
that
represented a friend or friends that did not know Jesus...except
Shantel.
She said, "As you can see, my frame is empty, there is no
picture. That is
because a year ago I shared my faith with my friend Jenna and she
accepted
Jesus as her Savior, and she is her with me tonight!" The
cheers and the
tears were there as Jenna came onto the platform and joined her
friend
Shantel. They embraced, and then Jenna took the microphone and
said,
" Shantel and I have been friends for a long time. If it wasn't for
her I
would not be standing here tonight." Then she looked at every
student there
and said, "All of you have a friendship like Shantel and I.
You have a
friend that does not know Jesus. You need to tell them! That is
why you
are a CM!"
As iron
sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens his friend. That sums up the
evening. As students challenged students to make being a CM a lifestyle.
