“And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses,
commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.”
– 2 Timothy 2:2
What’s the purpose?
The purpose of RUI is to refine your discipleship skills by instilling into you the things we have heard among many witnesses. You will learn about healthy leadership, Holy Spirit empowerment, cross-cultural missions, and disciple-making groups. You will hear principles that have worked on campus and discover programs and methods that work on different campuses all in an effort to cultivate a common culture across uncommon campuses.
Everything you are about to learn is for this purpose—training you to be better missionaries who make better disciples.
