Warrnambool

So we have moved into our house but we don't have the internet set up yet. Soon we will have it up so I can blog more. This past week myself, Adam who is my co-leader and Erin headed down to Warrnambool for the first time. The campus is 2 hours away so we are only down there once a week on Thursdays. The campus is very small and only 1,600 students attend. At club day we did surveys and 52 people filled one out. The survey was a spiritual interest survey and also asked if they wanted more information on Real Life, what Campus Crusade is called on the Deakin campuses, or checking out events. About 1/2 said yes or maybe so we have been following them up to see if they want to meet and talk more. I had one follow up and she seemed interesting in checking out events and meeting new people, which is exciting.

During our time on campus we also got to know our KVs, Key Volunteers, better. A KV is someone who is committed to volunteer on a Student Life or Real Life campus. At Warrnambool we have Mato, Kaite and Edwina. It was great working with them to plan events and the club day. Adam and I will be meeting with the KVs every Thursday to do planning for their weekly meeting, called Catalyst which is every Wednesday. We will also go through some type of bible study with them as well. I am excited to be co-leading down there at Warrnambool.

Prayer Requests:

Please pray for all the follow-ups happening on our four campuses: Waurn Ponds, Waterfront, Warrnambool and Ballarat.

The Spring Break team from UC Santa Barbara that arrives this Saturday :-) Very excited about it. They are here for a week to come along side us on Waurn Ponds and Waterfront campus. Please pray for their support and their safe arrival.

Please pray for our team as we are still growing and learning more about one another

Thanks all and miss you,
Jenny
