I'm planning praying and fundraising for leading University Fellowship Christians on the Hobart campus of UTAS next year. Here's the website.
I'm picturing a significant change in structure for next year:
- Put some fresh ideas, design and energy into contact first years, during O Week and through schools and youth groups, including a February overnight camp.
- Move the preaching meeting to a monthly, evening meeting.
- Beef up a small group ministry. I'm not thinking cell group Bible studies, but 'gospel communities'.
- Work very, very hard at teaching and promoting friendship evangelism.
- Detailed and demanding student leadership pact. In-depth leadership meetings weekly.
- Multiple-event "Mission Week" outreach each semester.

I can remember there used to be February camps. It was a cool idea to kick off the year.
Yeah. An hopefully for some it's a way of becoming a part of the social group quickly, rather than having to gradually get to know people over the course of first Semester.
It's a great group of folks, those I met. I look forward to what God'll do with y'all in years to come!
I think changing the emphasis from preaching to small groups is a very good idea. There was also some degree of critism from one of my christian friends that didn't go and to some degree mine that the meeting could feel like another lecture. Although no doubt I learnt alot, I think small group would be more benefical.
Looking forward to the continuation of ideas.
