Faith, Science, and Climate Change |

The 20th anniversary Dozentenforum weaved together the concept of a Creator with a response to global climate change. Professor Sir John Houghton presented “God, Science, & Global Warming” on the 20th of October to a room overflowing with professors and students alike. Although the room was crowded with more people than 240 seats, the atmosphere was one of intrigue, attentiveness, and openness.
Houghton began the forum by introducing faith and science as intricately connected rather than in opposition to one another. Houghton’s presentation sewed together scientific laws and the implications of a global climate crisis—all from the foundation of science as God’s science.

At the end of September, we held the Effective Studies Seminar at three different locations: Zurich, Basel, and Lithuania.
Zurich
160 participants attended the Seminar. We offered information about the Life Course evangelistic group. About eight students from the seminar attended the first Life Course. There were more students who expressed interest, but were too busy to attend. |

After struggling with the lack of student-focused churches in the area, the student ministry in Zurich decided to establish its own missional fellowship. After more than five years, this small church, CAMPUS live, continues to grow through evangelistic efforts on local campuses. More than half of the current participants have come to faith through the Zurich student ministry.
Last Sunday (24 May 2009) we baptized five students, three of whom have only been believers for about six months. One of them was Nicolas. His parents, grandparents and one uncle all came out to support him on that special occasion.

Here is a short report on the Effective Study Seminars last October in Albania:
Every team planned and tried to use the Effective Study seminars as the main strategy to attract the best students and personally connect with them.
In Tirana we had a Seminar in the University Building in the Faculty of Law, where about 100 students participated. There were 2 other ones in our Center where about 60 participated. Most of the students who have come to Christ in Tirana have been part of that seminar. Here is the story of Lando and Artan, told by our staff: |

 As term began at Oxford University this year the team embarked on a huge project to give a DVD called Illuminate to every Oxford fresher. This short film is made up of three student testimonies and a gospel presentation. By now the distribution has been completed in almost all of the colleges, and Christian students and Agape staff have been going back round the halls to follow up students. This is a slow process but it has led to some great conversations.
Excitingly, a number of students have become Christians later in the term. Some have believed after seeing the DVD, and others through their relationships with believers. Please pray for them, that they will have firm foundations in their faith and be protected from spiritual attack.
