Dave Meritt has put together an excellent tool for us as we attempt to work well with other ministries, and launch new ministries. He has been working with the people from the Campus Alliance (everyschool.com) to create a database that keeps track of statistics on every school in America - including what ministries are on each campus. He has put together a special Cru version of the tool just for us. The dashboard has every school in America plus all known ministries (over 30K of them) if you include elementary. The dashboard allows everyone to view the information via Cohort, State, County or metro area. Plus, you can download local information.
The dashboard has 6 pages.
Schools: Total adoption by schools. A school adoption can be an outreach ministry or prayer ministry.
Students: Shows the current potential can be reached from the adopted schools
Map: National map showing school - colored by adoption status: Known Ministry, Prayer ministry, or non-adopted school
Local County: Show details of a local county and a local school list
School Income: Shows characteristics of adopted schools and non-adopted schools of both school income and ethnicity of schools.

Thanks Dave, for this great tool to help us better communicate with other ministries, and to know what is already going on in areas we are thinking of launching. This tool will help us move toward a day when every student on every school has an attractive opportunity to hear the gospel.
