Easter @ the Uni

Last night we completed the last of our Easter Outreaches. We went into the University to feed the students who live on campus and do an Easter presentation. We cooked all day, making many dishes such as fried rice, vegetable korma, baked potatoes, stir fry and various pasta sauces. The local Brumbys bakery donated bags of bread rolls and other bakery items.
The night began with some fun and games by the university students, with Christina running one of the games. We then all went inside and we began our presentation of the gospel. Troy introduced us and then Matt gave a little blurb that went something like this: "Lady Gaga sings songs about pocking peoples faces, and Fifty Cent sings songs about coins, I sing songs about a King who sends his Son to die for all". He then sang "Amazing Love". Troy shared a very relevant message about who Jesus really is verses how Jesus has been represented. The team performed the lighthouse skit. I invited those who wanted to discuss the Christian Faith further to come and speak with us and I told them about the ALPHA course we are wanting to run.
Dinner was then served and everyone mingled and chatted. Josh had put together a loop with all the Missions videos playing so people could see what our church is all about.
We were told to cater for around 60 people. When we first arrived at the uni Troy was told they were expecting maybe around 30 people. A few of us did some head counts and the number of students was definitely around 90! We all had a great time meeting students, chatting and making some great connections. Due to the nature of the night people were quite open to speaking about their own beliefs and questions about the Christian faith were asked. It was such a fantastic night to finish everything off - although really......we have just begun!

Thank you Jesus, my saviour, my closest friend.
