Partnership Tracks
Mobilizing Partners for Campus Revival
At Ambition, we have a conviction that we won’t see the breakthroughs we long for on our own. Mission isn’t about sent individuals but sent communities, so we’re investing in partnership.

Each day, we’ll host tracks for faculty, volunteers, pastors and church partners, intercessors, and EveryCampus partners. We’re praying that God would use Ambition to mobilize diverse teams of partners to seek revival on campus together.
