One of the primary ways we have been spending our time is getting to know the Kiwi students that are already connected to the ministry here! Two of them are sitting on the couch between Nate and Kyle! The guy in the red sitting to the right of Ben is David. He is on staff with CO Australia. He has been helping Josh out with our trainings. He is looking to move to New Zealand and join Josh on staff here within the next year to help build the ministry.
One of the the primary ministries CO has to the campus here is to set bbqs on campus on the nights of major parties. The goal is to hand out sausages to students who have been drinking all day (literally). The thought behind it is to love on students and to connect with them. This is a picture of the line of half drunken students standing in line for sausages!
Though the sausage ministry I was able to meet a few girls that play soccer for Studholme college. Megan and I were able to go and play soccer with them on Saturday morning! We are hopeful that this will give us an opportunity to meet tons of girls! We were able to go hangout with a few of them later Saturday evening. We are praying that our relationships deepen with them quickly! From left to right Elizabeth, Claire (kiwi), Emma (kiwi), Me, Megan, and Kate (kiwi).
Some of the guys have been hanging out with a few of the first years that live in university college (a college is similar to a US dorm). Top right next to Sean is James. The guy on the right of Kyle on the front row is Duffy. James and Duffy have been spending quite a bit of time with our guys over the last few days. Pray that God would continue to deepen the relationships between these guys and our guys.
Please continue to pray for the deepening of relationships and the opportunity to make the gospel known to each of these students! Thanks a ton for your support!
