GKDI Campus Ministry
Most college students are in an awkward transitional stage of life. Some are still supported by their parents, while others study while working. You could call them teenagers, but they already carry more responsibility than they did in school. This is an energetic and promising season, yet also a crucial one for our generation in shaping the future.

At this stage, we need the right role model as well as a community that can sharpen us into outstanding individuals. Yet often, we feel unsure about where to find a place for positive, productive, and inspiring activities.

Well, GKDI has a community that can accommodate all those aspirations, namely Campus Ministry. Come see what you can do in this ministry !

We are fun, family, and fruitful

Campus Ministry is a community of young people who love God and are passionate about helping others. They pursue that purpose through ministry activities while continuing to do their best in their studies.

Besides having countless funactivities, the students in Campus Ministry are also close like family and fruitful in character. Here, we can be ourselves and learn from and support one another's growth. We learn to love others like Jesus, with a love that is unselfish and expects nothing in return, because Jesus first loved us in that way.

College Students Are ZEAL!

“Do not let your diligence grow slack; keep your spirit burning and serve the Lord." (Romans 12:11)

According to the dictionary, the word “zeal” means great energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or an objective—extraordinary energy or enthusiasm in pursuing a goal.

In Campus Ministry, our ZEAL is channeled into spirituality, fellowship, and mission. ZEAL does not only cover the spiritual side, but also academics. We inspire fellow students through good academic performance. We learn to manage our schedules so that ministry activities do not interfere with our studies. Ministry this will train us to become young leaders who are motivated and eager to contribute to the church and society.

ZEAL summarizes its missions in the PILLARS: P : Spiritual Fellowship We want to be close to one another. Not only for funactivities, but also to talk about God's word, our hearts, and to pray spontaneously with reference to Ephesians 4:3. I : Intentional We do spiritual mentoring according to Hebrews 13:17. We believe a student's success is shaped by their character. For that reason, we need personal guidance about character according to God's word and regular weekly practice in developing it. L : Train Your Gifts Not only to overcome weaknesses, we are also guided to recognize the strengths and gifts God has given us. The goal is for every disciple of Jesus to play an active role in building the Kingdom of God (Romans 12:6-8). A : Overcome Obstacles We stand shoulder to shoulder and support one another in overcoming life's problems (Galatians 6:2). As young people, we are often influenced by circumstances or mood. We need a culture that is responsive and ready to bear one another's burdens through God's word and relationships. We need a group whose members are close, who follow up with one another and remind each other that God has power over every obstacle. R : Win Souls We carry out the command of Jesus Christ to preach the gospel to everyone (Matthew 28:18-20). Evangelism is not only about sharing verses from Scripture, but also about sharing life experiences and togetherness, so that God's word becomes more deeply rooted in each person's soul.

ZEAL does not only cover the spiritual side, but also academics. We learn to manage our schedules so that ministry activities do not interfere with our studies.
