We walked around campus with a trolley full of snacks and juice poppers to hand out to students. This is particularly helpful for a vertical building or in spaces where you have to interrupt students who are studying. Often the students asked why are you doing this and this created an opportunity to talk about grace or introduce them to our club.

Everyone loves images, so students are raising curiosity about their faith journey with ‘before and after’ stories! Post one story with a photo representing what their life felt like before Jesus (could be a broken mirror or whatever resonates) and then the next story is a picture of what life is like now that they know Jesus;

A discussion dinner (invite friends, eat food, talk about Jesus). The theme is the way Jesus made some dinners very awkward with his unrequested advice on dinner party etiquette! Over dinner guests read and discuss 3 moments at a dinner party in Luke 14:7-24. The 3 stories together point to God’s invitation in the Gospel for those who know they don’t deserve it.

A relaxed discussion-based event tailored to particular courses or careers eg My Perfect School (education), My Perfect Company (business), My Perfect Hospital (nursing).
The main part of the event is based on discussing several questions posted around the room.

Eg.1. Who’s the boss of your perfect school?
2. What kind of kids and teachers are welcomed?
3. What are the rules and what are the consequences?
4. What place is there for religion? What about Safe Schools?
5. What are the top values? Try turning it into a motto!
6. Is your perfect school really possible? Why / not?
Door activity: you place a sticker on your favourite school – Hogwarts, Summer Heights High, Playschool or School of Rock

Then give a message based on a simple ‘God’s perspective’ on each of the questions or perhaps something more in depth based on the last question.…

Christian students host small dinner parties to introduce their Christian friends to their non-Christian friends, and provide a comfortable platform to ask questions and discuss matters of the Christian faith.

Arts students love talking about books, but don’t have time for extra reading. Over 5 weeks they discuss short stories provided by the leaders, with some that explore faith (eg. Tim Winton The Turning). At the end each participant will receive a gospel, with the explanation ‘this is a short story about Jesus.’ They’ll then offer to read the gospel with them.
