Uni Students on Mission @ The Lakes this week

Michael Plaege — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 22:20:42 +0000

Every year we host a group of Christian univeristy students who come up from Sydney to give their time in helping us reach out to our area of the Central Coast. There will be about 20 students with us who are part of the Campus Bible Study and Fellowship of Overseas Christian Students (FOCUS) ministries at the University of New South Wales. There are similar missions going on in churches across Australia as part of the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students (AFES) and their National Training Event (NTE).

The students arrive this Wednesday 7th December and will be with us until the Sunday so you might see them around as they go about their work. Some of our members are going to host some of the students for accommodation and meals. They’ll be in our loca primary and high schools, doorknocking our local homes and handing out GNW and Christmas flyers at the train station. You’ll also see them at Carols this Saturday and on the Sunday as they will be helping us with Kidz church before they leave us to go back to Sydney.

Please pray for their time with us. May we show our Love to them with not only hospitality but with thankfulness to our Lord that they have come to help us as we reach out to our community this Christmas!
