What is Ethnic Student Ministries?
Ethnic Student Ministries is one of the major strategies by which Campus Crusade for Christ hopes to address the ethnic dimension of the scope of its mission of "turning lost students into Christ-centered laborers." We are committed to seeing ethnic college students turned into Christ-centered laborers.

We also seek to promote reconciliation and unity within the body of Christ. Currently, there are three tracks of ethnic emphasis to African Americans (Impact), Asian Americans (Epic) and Hispanic Americans (Destino).

What is The Impact Movement?
Impact [www.impactmovement.com] is a movement of evangelism and discipleship among African Americans on the campus, extending into the community and, ultimately, to the world. This movement is committed to the fulfillment of the Great Commission with a special interest in and commitment to reaching, equipping and training those of the African Diaspora.

Why do we need Impact and Ethnic Student Ministries?
We live in a time of rapid change. By the year 2060, more than half the population of the United States will trace their roots to Africa, Asia, and Latin or South America. Yet, student involvement in mission organizations like Campus Crusade for Christ in this country doesn’t reflect this change.

Nationally, the number of white students on campus is actually decreasing while the number of African American, Asian American and Latino American students continues to grow. If we fail to increase our capacity to turn ethnic students into Christ-centered laborers, we are neglecting a growing part of the student population.

What is God doing here in the Triangle?
Our team of seven here in the Triangle believe that God wants to see every lost ethnic minority student have a culturally relevant opportunity to say, “Yes!” to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. As these same students are discipled and trained in their new faith we believe that they will also be sent to the world to win, build and send others in the workplace or in full-time Christian service.

Currently, we are targeting African American students on all eight of the four-year colleges here in the Triangle. We have seen dozens of students come to faith in Jesus Christ over the past semester, new campus ministries launched and several students from our ministries pursue full time ministry. Our potential for making an even bigger impact on the Triangle is increasing day-by-day!
