Starbucks & Chocolate

Wooooooo-Hooooo!!!! The Starbucks outreach was a huge success. At one point we counted 50-some-odd people there, and a bunch more came even after that! The christian/non-christian ratio was about 60/40 and everyone seemed to be genuinely enjoying themselves. I got to meet so many new students who have never been to a Radiate event before. And honestly, it was really just so much fun.

The band played acoustically all night. It was really cool to see our students who are musically gifted get up there and play with the guys from the mission team.

We had a couple pub quizzes, which were faciltated by two of our students (Jo and Michael). In the pic above, Jo is displaying the pub quiz prizes that Starbucks donated.

See, I told you we were having a good time.

We also showed some Red Nose comedy clips from years passed. SO funny.

On Tuesday afternoon we set up a chocolate fountian in the lobby of one of the main buildings on campus. This wasn't just any chocolate fountian, it was a Belgium chocolate fountian. That's right, heaven on earth. As students walked thru, they were lured to our corner of the lobby by a chocolatey smell they just couldn't ignore. We got to bless a lot of students with this sweet afternoon snack and also invite all of them to our Red Nose Ceilidh on Friday. One group of guys on their way to play rugby tried to blow me off and act uninterested when I offered the chocolate fountian, but as soon as rugby was over, they were all back to partake. Hahaha... I'm pretty confident we'll be seeing a lot of the students we got to meet on Tuesday at the Ceilidh on Friday. Yay!!

In awe of the chocolate fountian.

Chocolate: It brings the world together.
