Ourimbah Christian Students – 2010
Posted on 09. Mar, 2010 by Adam Gregory in Blog
Ourimbah Christian Students (OCS) is off to a terrific start with Uni and TAFE starting back for 2010.
This year, OCS is led by uni students Stacey Owers and Lachlan Campbell. They are supported by the chaplains to OCS – Adam Gregory and Telena Hogbin.
The goal of OCS is to make Jesus known on Ourimbah campus – this is done by connecting Christian students together, and growing, training and equipping them for the mission – to reach out to their friends and fellow students with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
OCS started this year with the traditional Go-Week stall where clubs and organisations see to make contact with interested students. OCS connected with over 30 students over the two days, and a number of students who were interested in a Simply Christianity course which starts next week. Over 20 students came to the KickOff Dinner where Adam challenged the students by setting before them the vision of OCS. The students were encouraged to use their time at the uni for mission, to grow and to be equipped.
Please continue to pray for OCS – we have had a huge start to the year and it has been very encouraging! Please pray for the students as they settle into church@5 and bible study groups (especially a new girls group that has started in the campus college!). Please pray for the Simply Christianity course that starts next Tuesday – that many students will be challenged to consider the claims of Jesus as they understand who Jesus is and what he has done for them on the cross. Please pray for the student leaders and others as they seek to follow up contacts and encourage them to get involved.
