What Would You Do?
Imagine you’re part of a church, and your church is one with a very strong vision for reaching your community. Very likely scenario, right? But now imagine that the unique thing about your community is that every year, around the same time each year, a few thousand new people moved in to your community within the course of a few days. So when that time comes, the focus of your church would probably to meet and connect with all those new people, right? How would you go about doing that?
Perhaps you would give out free food?
Or host events with fun and games?
Or give them more free food?
Or more fun and games?
Or, if you were really gung-ho about it, you might even help them move in.
On a university campus, this is exactly the kind of scenario we live in. Classes have begun, and there are thousands of new faces to get to know. The pictures above are just a small sampling of all the things Chi Alpha is doing on the ULL campus to reach the new freshmen class. BBQ’s, karaoke, games, moving people in; all in an effort to serve these new students and get them connected with the students in our Chi Alpha, that they might hear the good news of Jesus and become his disciples. Please pray with us that God would be with us in these efforts, and that the lives of the students would be touched and transformed.
