Today, Thursday, September 4, 2025, Season 4 of the Campus Outreach StaffCast podcast went live. Our first episode of the new season begins a journey that we will follow for the entire season. Our theme is “The Definition of a Laborer".
For over 40 years, Campus Outreach has endeavored to "build laborers on the campus for the lost world.” As we come to our 50th year, I am privileged to produce this podcast series that will capture the years-long development of what we mean by “a laborer.”
In Matthew 9:37-38, Jesus lamented and called his disciples to action when he said, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” (NIV) It is clear that a laborer is one who is actively engaged in God's Kingdom work. But what else?
Our definition, at this point of development, is that a laborer is “a person mobilized through the church to live out Christ-centered identity with Spirit-filled character, who is governed by a Biblical worldview and who engages persuasively among non-Christians with the gospel and is equipped to multiply this lifestyle in others.”
All of Season 4 of the StaffCast will focus on interviews with Campus Outreach staff and pastors about their reflections, encouragement, critiques, and exhortations for our ministry and our staff on 100+ college campuses all around the world build laborers for the lost world.
