At NCS one of our goals is to be reaching out to those at Newcastle uni with the gospel, and it’s great to be on the look out for new and creative opportunities to do this. I recently signed up to Ilead- the international leadership experience and development program, and along with the convenient perk of getting scholarships for overseas uni related travel I discovered one such opportunity.
.
Ilead run welcome morning teas for international students who have recently arrived in Australia, and they have asked Ilead-ers who are interested to participate in these morning teas. I saw this and thought, what a chance to share Christ’s love! International students can often feel isolated and apprehensive and this is one way I could see of being an ambassador for Christ and perhaps getting chances to witness for him. I want to encourage you guys, there are plenty of these opportunities like this around so keep looking, and as Paul says;
.
‘Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity’ (Colossians 4:5)
.
God bless!
