Down Under

Next Wednesday, July 15th, we will board a plane to Sydney, Australia with 12 students from Oregon State University and around the United States. We will have a three day briefing in Sydney, take a train 100 miles north to Newcastle, and do 4 weeks of college ministry in the University of Newcastle campus. Below are some FAQ's in case you are curious.

What will we be doing on campus in Australia? We will work alongside the Campus Crusade team (5 staff/interns) who are stationed in Newcastle, planning and running outreach events, and helping build the spiritual movement on campus. Our students will build relationships with Aussie's (Australians) and initiate lots of spiritual conversations. They will learn to share their faith, their testimony or story of what God has done in their life, and learn to disciple others.

What are the dates of our trip? July 13 through August 19...students arrive at our briefing site in the U.S. on the 14th

Where will we stay? In backpackers hostel's in Sydney and Newcastle. Most of the time we will be in Newcastle, with a few days of briefing and debriefing in Sydney.

What is our theme/hope for the summer? Authenticity. Authentic relationships with God give way to authentic relationships with people, which gives way to inviting others into authentic relationships with God and others.

Stay tuned for more from Down Under...
