Giving up Control

Why movements are preferable to revivals

What if healthy exponential growth required you to maintain less control over your ministry rather than more? That was the dilemma the Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ) ministry at Sydney University faced. The ministry wasn't growing under staff control, so why not hand the reigns over to the students and see what happens? This is an exploration of the challenges and wonders that come from trusting your ministry into the hands of God and God’s lay people. It is a warts-and-all confessional of the bumpy journey the Sydney University staff team underwent and the leadership principles they learned along the way. From one struggling campus to five growing campuses with no additional staff, “Giving up Control” offers hope and inspiration to ministry practitioners on universities and in churches who are willing to do whatever it takes to build God’s Kingdom.
