O week



Wow its been a busy week, looked after 2 extra kids for a few days, I was sick for 2 days, and saw my cousin off at the airport

Waikato University has thier B semester starting form the week of the 14th July . We have an exciting plan in place to connect with Students and then connect them into a relationship with Christ.

The Theme that we are running with is Plugged in. On the front of the card is this picture and on the back it follows on from the theme ,by asking the question on a personal level

In our world, “staying connected” has perhaps never been easier. TV, Internet, Cell Phones, iPods, Laptops, BlackBerrys, Webcams…and the list goes on. Amazingly, though, amidst all of this “connection” we continue to see more and more loneliness and isolation.

The question is, “Who and what are we connected to?”

They fill in a series of questions ,including the question "Would you like to know how to have a realationship with Christ. Our aim is to have 500 students fill out the card ,I guess the draw for a free IPOD is a great hook!

The people who would like to know how to have a realationship with Christ ,will be phoned within 48hrs and will be sent a CD which will have a 15 minute Gospel presentation called "Just Stop And Think",Life stories of a couple of people, link to church website,and an invitation along to a next steps course called "The Big Ask".

This will run for 4 weeks, and then for those that are wanting to carry on doing Life togther with Christ and others ,we will just keep on keeping on.

Its great when you have a a fantastic team around you , together you can do so much more.

There is nothing like a sea of new faces to breath fresh life and vision into the Church

On a personal note ,I wont be blogging for the next 7 days as are away .See you when I get back Jeremy
