AOCF newsletter 1st - 7th August 2009

Dear AOCFers,

It's JESUS WEEK!!. Seeing you guys wearing the Jesus Week T-shirt is so amazing. Haha. Not to forget some of you actually came to the booth and help out giving out free milo and flyers. Also, those of you who are doing worship at the quad and gospel sharing all around the campus. Continue sowing seeds around. You may not know yet once you've tried it out. I would like you to read the parable of the seed from the gospel of Matthew.and from there, you will understand why we outreach the people around campus. Great job guys!!.

eReach!

eReach! is about evangelistic outreach. We want to impact this campus with the reality of Jesus. And for the whole of this week we've been giving out free milo as a way of initiating conversation with the students on campus, and giving out flyers to them about Jesus Week...and influencing them with our love. We NEED your help! And we also have gospel sharing occuring around the OCF tent in the quad just outside the Recreation Centre. We're using the tent as a meeting place for us to head out to share the gospel and to come back and meet, and it's also the place where we're giving out free milo. Think of it as bringing OCF out into the campus. It's happening everyday for the rest of this week from 11 to 2pm. And from next week onwards, it'll be happening 11am to 2pm every TUESDAY :D so please do pop along if you wanna observe how to share the gospel and to learn how to share, or even if it's to help out give out milos...it's been a great way of making friendships with the students around us with the intention of sharing Jesus with them.

what : eReach! evangelistic outreach. mix of GST (Gospel Sharing Team) and free milo.
when: everyday for the rest of this week from 11-2pm, and also EVERYDAY TUESDAY 11-2PM from now on.

AOCF BLOG
Oh Yes, I've changed the AOCF blog from multiply to blogspot. It is www.aucklandoverseaschristianfellowship.blogspot.com. I know it's such a long name but I can't put in the abbreviation of the club's name because it belongs to come other people. Oh well, the purpose of the blog is so that if you have any enquiries, just ask us via the blog rather than replying everyone's email one by one. It makes things easier and more efficient. Some of you may ask the same questions as other person via email. Why not just one person ask, and I could just provide an answer straight away. It is more like a discussion forum or whatever you call it. Also, if you have any feedbacks or anything you would like to express about AOCF, feel free to do so in the blog. =)

Tongue Twister
How much myrtle would a wood turtle hurdle if a wood turtle could hurdle myrtle?
A wood turtle would hurdle as much myrtle as a wood turtle could hurdle if a wood turtle could hurdle myrtle.

THat's all for now. Have a great week ahead. God bless!
