Ministry Proposal

So here's my idea for a cool outreach project that can happen this semester:

What I want to do is something similar to one of those Pancake dinners we had at the beginning of the school year. Essentially this was just a big gathering of FOCUS and non-FOCUS people in front of Phase 1 where we gave out free pancakes. I picked this idea because I think most college students wouldn't pass up free food on campus (well waterview).

Now I think it would be a great idea to do this multiple times during the semester, but change the food to something different each event. We could serve up PB&J's, hotdogs, or maybe smoothies again. It should be pretty easy to get this supplies because its cheap.

I plan on getting a few people from the ministry to help me. Primarily those who really have a heart to serve and don't know where to start. I may also get some cores to have these "dinners" in their apartments. Who knows, not everything is set in stone.

Currently the biggest issue with this project will be advertising. I know that one announcement on FOCUS night won't be enough to convince people to come to this, nor will it reach out to non-FOCUS members. I think the best plan of action would be to make fliers and post them all over Waterview / campus.

Sounds like a great deal. You just need an action plan. I think you need to figure out who your team will be and hold a planning meeting asap. Invite me too!

Hey Zac, I think a few of the ABF people are going to meet for a few minutes after FOCUS this sunday - if you want to come we can talk about this!
