Food For Thought Dinners

All the bible study groups invite their friends to a social dinner at a local restaurant/pub where they can discuss deeper topics. Leaders notes and menus are created by staff. This provides a great platform for further discussions on what their non-Christian friends think of the world and themselves to practice sharing a Christian response. Highlights a Christian message. Previous topics include “What does it mean to be a good person” and “What’s worth losing your life for”.

How do you sanitise your heart?

Allocate 3 stickers to every club member. Place 1 on their laptop and 2 somewhere else. The object is to talk to people about the sticker. But also include a link to CU, or a chat room or a website or…

Possible Stickers:
o How do you sanitise your heart?
o Did something vaccinate you against God?
o Jesus: God Unmasked!
o God didn’t social distance, but we should!

Possible conversations that arise from these stickers are in the document attached

Intentional Relationship Building

After every event think about how to describe this to someone who asks: How are you? What have you been up to? Describe it in such a way that you can shares something about the teaching or the community that might spark and interest in your conversation partner. If they are interested in what you have said, invite them to next time. Arrive 10mins early and keep 30mins free afterwards so that you have time to chat with and get to know people. When running an outreach event, have a student speak so that they can invite their friends.

What would Jesus say to…?

What groups are well represented on your campus? Who are the students interested in?

‘What would Jesus say to…?’ saw groups of people come simply because of a poster!

Catholics – What would Jesus say to… the Pope? or Mary?
Muslims – What would Jesus say to… Mohammed?
Atheists – What would Jesus say to… Dawkins?
Chinese – What would Jesus say to… Confucius? or Xi Jinping?
etc etc.

The speaker gave a short intro and then spoke as if it were an actual dialogue between Jesus and the other person. Having a prop helped to clarify when speaking as Jesus and when speaking as the other person.…

OMG WHY?

Many years ago we did a mission that was called OMG Why? The CU advertised widely and asked people what they would ask God if they could ask him anything. The talks were based on the questions submitted.
1. OMG WHY bother?
2. OMG WHY -Who does he think he is?
3. OMG WHY ‘queerphobia’?
4. OMG WHAT ABOUT… with a live panel.

Craphouse Philosophy

This mission was a series of talks based on the graffiti in the university toilets. Obviously this is determined by the graffiti on the campus, but there is plenty to choose from.

1. There are better things than happiness, worse things than suffering
2. Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just they will reward you. If they would punish you, they are unjust and not worth your worship.
3. Who gets to decide who is good?
4. How do we deal with the crap in life?
