■ Main challenges

1.University as the core, generating healthy cycle of student movement.
(1)Students becoming Christian in high school, and core-staff in university fellowships.
(2)University Christian students and graduates act as volunteer counselors in high school fellowships.
(3)University Christian students becoming significant influences to church and society in the long run.

2.Four types of ministries: fellowship, camp, publication, internet, with fellowship as the core foundation which connects the rest.

In the 1950s there were missionaries in different parts of Taiwan who had separately started to work among students. The first Chinese student worker started to work with student fellowship groups in 1957 and soon afterwards all student work in the province was linked into one organization as Campus Evangelical Fellowship. It was in 1963 that some of the products of that first generation of student ministry joined C.E.F. as full-time staff workers. Since then there has been a steady stream of co-workers joining Campus Evangelical Fellowship to be trained and take up the challenge of bringing the Christian gospel to new generations of students and intellectuals in Taiwan.

There have been immense changes in our society over the last ten years. New evangelistic and cultural frontiers have opened up with the freedom for university, college level and junior middle schools student groups to function as on-campus clubs. We now have a number of specialist fellowship groups and have set up a section for overseas student ministries, with another for missions promotion.

Today we have a wider scope than ever for outreach to students.
