Cambridge International Outreach
Every summer over 10,000 students from all over
the world come to Cambridge to study English. They come from Europe,
the Middle East and East Asia, from many different religious and
cultural backgrounds. Many of them would have little or no opportunity
to meet Christians in their own country. They are often far more
open to hearing about other faiths while they are away from home
and all that is familiar and comfortable. The aim of Cambridge International
Outreach is to offer friendship to these students and, if they wish,
to share with them the Good News of Jesus Christ. Students from
all over the world will be here. The question is: Will you?
Where: Cambridge
When:
Team 1: 4 - 18 July 2010

What: The aim of the outreach is to build genuine friendships
with international students and sensitively offer them the chance
to hear about the Christian faith. To this end the team run two
international cafes each evening, where there are activities like
cultural evenings and pancake nights as well as optional Bible studies
for those interested. Various activities (from volleyball to museum
visits) take place in the afternoons, and mornings are for team
training on a whole range of cross-cultural issues and Bible study.
Who: You don’t have to
be an expert in cross-cultural communication or be fluent in five
languages to be involved! The students are here to learn English,
experience life in the UK and love to meet British people who are
prepared to make time for them. All you need is a living faith in
the Lord Jesus Christ and a desire to share the Good News with others.
Any gifts/skills you have will be put to good use, but none are
required.
Cost: £100 per team, £140
for 2 teams, £120 for team 3x, Discount for returnees! This
includes everything except transport to and from Cambridge and some
meals at weekends. Special offers...
Comments from previous team members...
“It was such a blessing and encouragement to be part
of an international team and to learn to work and relate to one
another.”
"There’s a whole world out there that I didn’t
realise existed!”
The Cambridge International Outreach is organised by the Kairos
Trust, in association with Friends International, UCCF
