[committee] Welcoming Internationl Freshers

[Phoebe Cheung]

Hello!!!

Sorry I wasn't able to see you guys yesterday! Hope you are all doing well!

Here is a message from Andrew Muwowo at Friends International about meeting
students at Heathrow and training us for international work on campus:


Concerning Meet and Greet Ministry at Heathrow we put on yellow T - shirts
and on the T - shirts we these words " Are you a student ? Do you need help
". Students who have no one meeting them and are unsure about travelling to
their next destination or have some other need usually come for help. We
give them a booklet New to UK after helping them. This booklet gives
information about the UK and has Friends International contact details.
Students who have been helped do appreciate the help offered and tend to
get in touch with us. We link them up to Christian Unions, Churches,
International cafes depending on which town or city they are in.
I have explained this so that you know how Meet and Greet ministry works.
We have not yet got to a stage where we know which students are arriving
and going to which University. It would be great for us to know exactly
when the Imperial Uni students are arriving.
My suggestion is that a number of you sign up with us to welcome
international students at Heathrow terminal 3. You can choose the dates you
expect Imperial students to arrive. Will you be ready to welcome students
going to other universities as well when no Imperial students are showing
up?
Concerning ministry on campus, we are ready to train your CU members how to
reach international students.

What do you think about this? Let me know and I'll keep in touch
with Friends International!


In Christ,
Phoebe

 I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— just as the
Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the
sheep...... I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one
will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is
greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. (John
10:14-29)
