We decided to take advantage of the big voting week in America to try a different approach to connect with Greek students. We created a ballot for students to vote for the American President. Then we put different categories for them to choose-- their university, major, political party affiliation (this is big here-- kind of like a sorority or fraternity), favorite soccer team.
We're using the event to launch our website where Greek students can learn more about who we are and what we do To see the results of the mock election, students will (hopefully) visit our new website. From the site, they can easily contact us for more information. They can also easily connect to another site that helps students to explore the Bible and know how to trust Christ.
We made our first effort today at the Philosophy building of the University of Athens. We collected 236 votes from students. Students had strong responses to our "game." They either had strong interest to vote or they definitely didn't want to vote. We found that if one student in a group wanted to vote they all voted. We made some good connections with students, some of them wanting to know more about our group. Tomorrow we go to Athens Polytech.
Please pray with us. . .
-for favor with students. For new relationships to be built. For responsiveness and interest in who we are and what we offer.
-for enough responses for our responses to be credible to students.
-for the students to explore the website. For students to move on to explore spiritual things on the websites. For students to be drawn to the Lord through all of this.
So grateful for you!
