what is melbornes melting pot?

Question

the assimilation-melbornes melting pot

Answer 1

*

Brisbane's universities are a melting pot for various cultures and therefore Australian students are anything but typical. They come from all over the world - Greece, Italy, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, etc. But in general, a typical Australian student is extremely social and friendly, very conversational, laid back, well traveled, and well exposed. Spiritually, they tend to primarily be agnostic or new age and are often apathetic to the Gospel. There are few Christians.

Since university is in session during the summer in Australia, the focuses of this project will be reaching out to students at Griffith University in Brisbane. We will do lots of evangelism and follow-up, along with plenty of relationship building and encouraging of local Aussie students. Project participants will be able to take the training and experience directly back to their campuses in the US. Join us down under as we reach out to Australian students and help to establish campus ministries.

Your summer project will begin with a briefing on May 20 in Minneapolis. This is mandatory and considered part of your summer.

Project Description:

Even though we are calling this the Sydney Summer Project we will actually be located in Newcastle, just 2 hours north of Sydney. The staff in Australia have identified Newcastle as the next strategic campus to launch. So in a spirit of serving the Australian ministry, our objective this summer is to share the gospel with students at Newcastle University and look for people of peace to help us launch new movements of evangelism and discipleship.

If the thought of doing lot's of evangelism freaks you out, that's ok. We'll spend time equipping you and you won't be alone, you'll have help from your team. Project participants will be able to take the training and experience directly back to their campuses in the US.

Project Description:

New Zealand, aside from being naturally beautiful, has some of the most diverse universities of anywhere in the world. Last year we were able to share the Gospel with students from over 36 countries! You will get to be an integral part a new ministry. Last summer we sent a summer project team for the first time to work with NZ nationals and a handful of students to start a "Student Life" [the name used for Campus Crusade for Christ in NZ] ministry there among the 3 campuses in Wellington. We are going to be helping the National staff with their winter conference - which is a great way to ease into the Kiwi culture, then we will be going to Wellington to share the Gospel with students on campus and help to build into the ministry present.

Although an overseas project is definitely different than a stateside, there are still some similar elements. We will still be having a Bible study, discipleship, training and fellowship among other things. We will do lots of evangelism and follow-up, along with plenty of relationship building and encouraging of local Kiwi students. Project participants will be able to take the training and experience directly back to their campuses in the US.

We are still in process of finding out if we will be able to go to the CM2007 conference as well.

dates and cost are still being finalized
