 Attracting New Students
• Hold an informational meeting the first or second week of school
• Put up colorful fliers/posters, listing a time, place, and
that refreshments will be served (food is a good attraction,
i.e. dessert, pizza, subs, etc.)
•
At the meeting, briefly explain what NCF is and what a typical
meeting would be like – check out this link to the NCF
website: http://www.ncf-jcn.org/student/start/main.html
• Show a DVD on NCF ministry and resources. If your school does
not have the NCF DVD, request it through ncf@intervarsity.org
•
Allow time for Q&A
• Find more ideas at this link: http://www.ncf-jcn.org/student/start/plan.html |
 Choosing a meeting time that works
for the majority
•
At your introductory meeting, take a simple survey to find
out what times work best – make it multiple choice if
you think it would be helpful. Most NCF student groups meet
before classes, over a lunch hour, or after the school day.
Evenings may also be an option. • Some
groups became very creative this year: |
 |
Open
house hour – students can come and go during a set
period that works for most |
|
 |
One
group met a half hour before exams to pray and invited anyone
in the class to join them. 20 students accepted Christ during
the course of the year. |
|
 |
Another
group designed a bulletin board online where they could share
their prayer requests and encourage one another with messages. |
|
 |
Some
groups meet for prayer or Bible study during daytime hours
and have special speakers come for a monthly evening meeting. |
|
 |
Other
schools organize two or three smaller prayer and Bible study
groups that meet together occasionally for special events. |
|
|
• Many
groups this past year used the Bible as their primary resource.
This is terrific! Here are some other ideas
to use:
• Bible study guides and books written specifically for nurses
are available on our website, www.ncf-jcn.org, under the
Publications and Resources section.
• The Journal of
Christian Nursing is featuring a “Going
Deeper” section in each issue on the Table of Contents
page (as well as available on the website). It has personal
and group study ideas. Your group could read an article and
then discuss the questions listed in this section.
• More Bible study ideas can be found in the Faculty
Advisor Kit, available through the website. • Above
all, spend time in prayer for your group! (and share your
prayer joys and concerns with us at ncf@intervarsity.org) |
