An Urgent Call for a New Generation of Students

If the book by David Howard. Student Power in World Mission, has done anything for me, it is this. It has helped me to consider how God raises up a world-wide student movement. This generation is primed for it. Today's university students are the global youth we so often hear about. Who do I most admire from the history of the SVM? John Mott. This man's leadership and vision broadened the SVM into a world-wide movement. The pledge, the mobility, and the commitment of Robert Speer and Samuel Mills inspire me. I long for dozens of Mills' and Speers to sprout up in every nation. The commitment of CT Studd and the Cambridge Seven helped mobilize a generation of students. It is not enough that students go; they must speak out their vision and commitment to their generation. And men like Luther Wishard helped set the stage for just such a movement. The most inspiring thing about the SVM is the movement of the Holy Spirit bringing together the necessary elements for mobilization; leadership, vision, unity, commitment, and sacrifice. All along, the movement was not about personalities. Instead it was about the release of a new generation. Leaders helped make room for this new thrust. I trust we will see a similar stage set for this generation of students. I commit, for my part, to be a mobilizer. To lay down my own agenda and my personal ambition to travel and speak, in order to release a new generation to do it. I will call for leaders, but especially students, to come along with me and to go out beyond me to complete the task and carry the light into a generation I will not see. I ask God for fresh vision. I ask for clear goals. I ask for simple faith. I ask for a voice to make the call for this generation as urgent as did the leaders of the SVM.
