Training covered:
Cross cultural communication
Uniqueness of Christ
Sharing Jesus and opening the Bible in conversations
Engaging with global Christianity
Reaching people from different faiths/backgrounds (e.g. Post-modern, Muslim, Chinese etc)
The mornings of each week day are taken up with a worship and Bible teaching session, small group time, and training on different aspects of cross cultural ministry.
Prayer time helps us remember we can do nothing in our own strength.
Afternoon activities help us meet and build friendships with internationals. Friendship and making connections are key part of how we want to be sharing the gospel.
After lunch and rest time is prayer time. We then have time to build friendships with internationals through playing sports, practising English, flyering on the street or going for walks. Some of the team will be preparing Bible discussions or other activities for the evening.
Andy's Cafe runs from 8-10:30pm
We meet up for supper and then go out to run Andy's cafe in the evening, which is where we get to know international students better. During the café there is a short presentation which introduces the theme of the Evangelistic Bible discussion, and then the Bible discussion takes place in another room for anyone who wants to join.
