Ottawa at Carleton 2

I spent some time just hanging out…. Here are some suggestions for anyone else who would go onto a campus for the first time. Find the student centre… I mean the real student centre – where do the students cluster when they are not in class or the library.



1. Sit and wait.. listen watch what does God show you.


• Who are these people? I mean open your eyes. Does He highlight anyone to pray for?


• What are the issues? I don’t just mean external, but what are the students dealing with.. loneliness, depression, stress, fear… what is really going on,,

 2. Pray for creativity. How would Jesus meet the needs. What would He do. What would He have us do…?

3. Inventory.   What else is going on for the Kingdom?


Some initial ideas… seeds


• Think.. doing a survey.


• Noon hour series…. Does God make sense? Stuff that meets the real inner needs of the students .


• Common ground issues – humanitarian issues of common concern.





• Approach with Humility Service Curiosity.
