God gave me the opportunity to connect with a Victoria student named Tim as we responded to interested students from our campus outreach. At first, as I met with him, he didn’t seem too interested in what I was sharing with him about Christ. Finally, as I talked with him about what Jesus had done for us and how we can decide to follow Him, he got really focused and said, “I want Christ in my life.” I asked if he wanted to pray. He said, “Yes.” and immediately bowed his head. I prayed with Tim that Christ would take His rightful place of his life! Tim is now meeting with me and growing spiritually as he has decided to follow Christ!Saturday, March 24, 2007
Tim Tunes In

16 Students "Tune In" To God
“Amidst the background static of life and the confusion of our culture there is one major broadcast that most people have not discovered…”
“Are You Tuned In?” was a simple question that could be seen posted on announcement boards and chalked on pathways all around two university campuses in Wellington as the school year resumed in February. Some thought it was a radio station advertisement. Others discovered that it was actually a very important question about their personal spiritual life. During the first week of March, Student Life launched an evangelistic outreach called “Tune In” at Victoria and Massey Universities. The draw for students to check out our information table was the chance to win a free MP3 Music Player. They soon discovered that it was about more than winning a cool new portable device. The true reason was to give them a chance to “Tune In” to God’s message about His Son Jesus Christ. Praise God that 16 students have decided to receive this life-changing broadcast and tune in to God!
“Throughout all of human history there has been a message being broadcast. It is a broadcast being sent from the Creator to the created. It is a continual message of love and hope for all people. Unfortunately, not everyone is receiving this important message because of the background static, confusion, and mixed signals of our world. So, the problem isn’t with the true broadcast or the One broadcasting it. The problem lies on the receiving end. The problem lies with us. We must ‘Tune In’.”

Interesting Advertisement
Check out this poster I snapped a shot of in the student union at Victoria University. I think this gives you a great look into the Kiwi culture. Drinking age in New Zealand is 18. Therefore, consuming alcohol at college is very much a part of the higher learning experience for most. Even the cafe on campus has a full service bar in the back. I even ran into a group of first-year (freshman) students on campus, all wearing matching t-shirts, who were headed out "bar crawling" as a part of their orientation program.
