ÜberLeben 06


Last week we had a campus- wide outreach to share Christ in Jena (called Survival 2006, a play on words meaning "above life"). It was organized by our Connexxion student ministry as well as 3 others groups. Each night there was a guest speaker in a large lecture hall, in the afternoons we had a seminar & during the days we handed out free coffee & homemade cake -- 80 cakes in all -- & invited students to the events.

Our group helped at the contact tables, & planned the nightly creative introduction to the evenings' themes: such as a band, an insightful or comedic skit & interviewing the speaker. We also provided a bistro snack table afterwards to encourage conversation. Each night between 80-160 students attended and heard the Good News. (I'm in the left photo, far right).
