unexpected crowds

tuesday night we decided to take what we've been talking about at "fuel" and put it into practice.

we've been going over the 4 c's that we stand for as a bcm:

connecting students to a relationship with Jesus Christ.
creating community for life change.
communicating that all students matter to God.
cooperating with the local church.

we took ice cream sandwiches and popsicles to one of the front of the freshman dorms

a table inside would help point people outside to where we had the ice cream set up

when we arrived, we learned about a fire drill that would be taking place just moments later

so, as we stood just outside the door, we watched as the masses of freshman came pouring out to gobble up all the goodies.

it wound up being a great thing

although all our ice cream was gone within about 5 minutes, we had a captive audience that couldn't' go anywhere, so we used the opportunity to hand out flyers inviting people to join us for "fuel" the next week as well as just meet some people and have some good conversations

one student gave report that her friend that has been on the brink of questioning about spiritual things made the point to tell her that she thought it was really cool and wanted to join her at church sometime soon

peace
