FOCUS stands for Fellowship of Overseas Christian University Students. We’re a group of international students that meet to make friends and meet Jesus. We like eating, improving our English, trips, camps, social events, encouraging each other, praying and reading the Bible together.

The following info may help with your registration choices:

Rest assured, meals are cooked for you, there are proper toilets, hot water, and you can use your hair dryer in the bathrooms! You are required to supply all your own camping gear (tent, mat, etc), but can probably share with others who already have a tent.

What are these Missions?
At the Christian Union, we are committed in training Christian University Students to share their faith and to teach and encourage other Christians. So each year, in the week before the National Training Event (NTE) Conference in Canberra, we join together with three churches in Victoria to run outreach missions. You get training and experience helping with a church for five days, doing things like:
- Giving testimonies
- Giving a Bible talk
- Teaching Sunday school
- Running a youth group event
- Running a service at a nursing home
- Leading Bible studies
- decorating gingerbread men
- pulling weeds
There will be training and assistance for everything. It is a fantastic opportunity that’s lots of fun and we encourage you all to come along!
Cost: $60, however if you attend the NTE Conference, then the mission is FREE!
You will be allocated to a particular mission team.
Mission Registration
Web registration is now closed, but if you would like to register, please contact one of the leaders.
