LUSA (Lincoln University Students Association) did a great job at welcoming new students, and arranging O week and Freshies week too, (the week the halls students move in). During both Freshies week & O week LUCF (Lincoln University Christian Fellowship) worked hard at welcoming students and getting LUCF known, and getting into conversations about Jesus.
Many aspects went really well:
- It was good that LUCF events were included in the main LUSA publicity
- It was good for LUCF to staff the 'time out' area at each evening LUSA gig, handing out ice blocks / toasties (depending on the weather!) under the huge LUCF orange banner
- It was good to have the huge support from staff at Lincoln Hospitality Limited - meaning the LUCF O week budget went much, much further.
- It was good to have a higher profile than in previous years
- It was good to do door knocking in the halls and introduce ourselves
- It was good to see the relaunching of Lincoln International Christian Fellowship - international students reaching other international students for Jesus
- It wasn't so good that it was a really wet February and outdoor plans had to be rapidly rearranged.
- It wasn't so good that LUCF wasn't fully organised for after O week for the larger lunchtime meetings, cell groups and the like
- It wasn't so good that it was just a core of returning CFers working hard rather than the whole of LUCF.
- It wasn't so good that the big bright LUCF orange banner was stolen half way through the week!
Here's a photo of Paul & Kongchay from ICF and Nathan from LUCF staffing the stall at Clubs Day - it's a real shame the large banner was stolen......Please pray for both LUCF & LUICF as they seek to introduce Jesus to their peers through word and deed in days, weeks and months ahead.
