    About Decision Point

    Expanding the Mission and Advancing the Gospel
    Decision Point is currently active in 17 areas and partnering with churches and mobilizing students for campus outreach. We desire to see this number grow to 25 areas by 2027, and through our online coaching program, we hope to coach students far beyond that. We have seen that coaching a few schools in a local area today can lead to long-term ministry being established for years to come.

    We have recently launched our new four-year campaign, I Have Decided. 

    In the next four years we are praying we will see:

    • 10,000 students say, “I have decided to witness for Christ!”
    • 1,000 churches say, “I have decided to mobilize our students to witness for Christ!” 
    • 10,000 people to say, “I have decided to pray for and financially support this ministry.”
    We believe that by God's grace this will result in:
    • 25 strategic cities served by Decision Point campus ministry in their communities
    • 1,000 campuses impacted by the Student Leaders deployed by Decision Point
    • 2.5 million students given the gospel on campus or online
    Check out this video to see our mission in action.

    We pray that the Lord will continue expanding the mission - coast-to-coast, border to border and beyond - till every student has heard.

    About Our Next Chief Operating Officer
    DECISION POINT’s Chief Operating Officer will direct and manage Decision Point’s daily ministry operations to advance our mission, develop our ministry leaders and maximize our impact and efficiency. 

    Why Now? The ministry is in an exciting season of growth, development, and impact. Having celebrated 20 years of God’s faithfulness to our mission, Decision Point now stands on the verge of the next chapter of this mission. By God’s grace, we are asking God to mobilize 1 million students worldwide to be courageous witnesses for Christ in the next 20 years. With personnel on the ground in 10 cities and impact in 17 cities, Decision Point is praying for God to expand our mission into 25 strategic cities in the next three years and test our program internationally. New doors have opened for us to produce culture-changing content and bring the gospel to young people not only on campus but also online.

We’ll give you tons of training, encouragement and ongoing coaching. If you like everything else and feel like this could be a good fit for you, do not let fundraising stop you; let’s talk first.

    Will you come help save the next generation? 

    You may still have a lot of questions. You may still be praying about whether God is calling you to this mission. That’s ok! Let’s talk. Just fill out the short form and we’ll be in touch to get the conversation started!
