Synopsis

Pitfalls: A Case for College Ministry by Samson Gitau points out that College ministry is the new volunteer for Church growth and leadership development. The glaring dearth of young adults in Church today is symptomatic of Church decline. Gitau compares the Church's failure to invest in young adults to the foolish builder who built his house upon the sand with dire consequences when finally the rains and storms attacked it. Investment in young adults is an asset and never a liability to the Church. Tapping on his experience of more than ten years in college ministry, Gitau presents a variety of college ministry models and programs. College student voices presented in this book allow students say firsthand what college ministry means to them. Expostulating on his personal experience, Gitau exposes pitfalls to be avoided for effective college ministry.
