FOCUS NEWS in 1998

....

February

From all reports, O-camp at Eagles Nest in February 1998 was very successful numbers wise, with so many people going, they almost ran out of room for everyone...

March

Small groups here at Joondalup seem to be running well so far, looking at Mark.

April

Continued looking at Mark., around 4-7 people each week, covered some ground on the trinity which I found useful, expanding.
The FOCUS cross-campus pool and pizza event occurred on 25th April, Great! George of the Jungle *LOL*, a bit juvenile in my opinion...
On the 29th April Merv and Jan Duncan visited the group, talking about Action Partners, which does 'mission' work in many african, middle eastern, and even european countries.

May/June

The groups continued on.

July

Four people represented Joondalup at MYC 98. Photo on the MYC page...
On the 29th July a group of 4 of us looked at Colossians 4 regarding evangelism.
1997 FOCUS history(Jonathon's rambling bite sized descriptors)....... A.F.E.S. Photos.......
One of the biggest cross-campus events on the AFES calender is;

Mid Year Conference (5 days of action packed learning and fun!) The 1998 topic was the death of Christ. Mid year conference involved students connected with; Christian Union (UWA and Murdoch), SPECS (Curtin-Shenton Park), FOCUS (ECU), and Curtin Christian Fellowship. MYC was arguably one of the biggest and best AFES events of the year!!!

One of the most important things we can EVER do is share the TRUTH about how Jesus (who is the Christ), did die, and was resurrected (came back to life after dying),and is able to forgive us for our sins, wrongdoing, ignoring of, unbelief towards, distrust towards, God the Creator Triune. Jesus (God's Son or God-the-Son) needs to be guiding/ruling our life.
Some people call this: 'the gospel'. The people who made up the FOCUS group were there, because we share a belief in this 'gospel' idea which God gave us, and seeing it put into action amongst ECU students.

Some possible positions based on previous structures and constitution, and what they involve doing;

1.(President and/or Treasurer) Main coordinator, of meetings, general running of group, represents the group as the main contact. Works with AFES staff workers, other AFES student president's, and responsible for AFES information useful to FOCUS, and some outside liason with churches/ Uni admin, booking stall day, handling membership money. etcetra.

2. (Secretary and/or Vice-President)-Mainly responsible for publicity and profile of the group on campus, recording outcomes of meetings, sending information to FOCUS members etcetra.
All student leaders must sign and agree to the FOCUS statement of faith sheet. (see "Our doctrinal basis"),

PLEASE CONSIDER


playing a part in this vital part of living life to the max. (As Jesus says in John 10:10) on campus!

IDEAS...Comments, feedback...


...Why not get together with two other Christians to pray together weekly, about Uni issues, God might use it in a big way!

... Did anyone see that great column on the back page of an early 1997 edition of Harumbee about FOCUS. Katrina wrote a good one!

... Many things especially at Uni involve personal response on our part, one of them is evangelism...

... Its great to see people using the website and signing the guestbook, special thanks to Chris Roberts, and Andrew Bolton for their help in getting the photo's on this page.

... McPrayer(c) 1996 was a FOCUS initiative which is now being used by AFES groups elsewhere in Australia.

STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS, and send us ideas or news for improving FOCUS in general and this page.
