Last night while SFA played Sam Houston State (what in the world is a bearcat?), in basketball, some of our students were setting up a coffee shop. As students were leaving the game to walk back to the dorms we were able to offer them a free cup of Starbucks coffee. As they waited in line for a cup of coffee we asked students to fill out a contact card if they were interested in talking more about a relationship with God or a Bible Study.
Several things went wrong; the breaker box couldn’t handle running four pots of coffee and twinkle lights. Go figure. So we had to keep flipping switches and asking people to wait a few more minutes for coffee. Because of this we couldn’t’ keep coffee ready so some people walked out and others saw the long line and kept going. Then SFA lost by 15 points which meant a lot of people left early from the game.
Having said all that, we picked up some new contacts and are looking forward to sharing the gospel with some of the students we met last night.
We have found that we can take advantage of events already taking place on campus by setting up outside of the event with free coffee, free ice cream, etc. Everything from comedy shows (Tim Meadows from Saturday Night Live) and movies being shown in the student center have been beneficial in helping us meet students.
