Reaching Students for Christ he akonga ki nga akonga hei ara whakawhiti mo te Karaiti

University of Auckland: Jesus Week

Run primarily by OCF, KYCF and EU with input from various other Christian groups on campus, Jesus Week was an attempt to engage the campus with the truth of who Jesus is. Student apathy and general busyness not being conducive to large events, the range of talks from Christian academics and speakers were not as well attended as hoped, but over the week perhaps 300 students engaged with the activity in some way. Many more saw flyers, our Jesus Week shirts, heard the music in the quad or overheard people talking about it. Particularly popular were the 'If you could ask God one question' BBQ, free milo between lectures and 'Grill a Christian' panel where people could ask a Christian anything. The challenge, as always, is to engage the campus effectively - to have a clear grasp of the gospel and present it in a way that makes sense to the university community.
