This training project was launched in May 2018 by Dr Tihomir Lazi\u0107, the Trans-European Division Public Campus Ministries director, with the purpose to help inspire and equip students and student leaders \/ mentors to be agents of change on their college campus, at church, and in their local communities. PowerUp was intended neither to be a \u201cprogramme\u201d nor an \u201cevent\u201d but rather a \u201cmovement\u201d. And so, it began with a once-a-month meeting on zoom to:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Inspire by sharing fresh ideas and success stories to motivate and enthuse participants for engaging in ministry;<\/li>\n
- Equip by sharing resources, tools and information that would help in meeting the social, mental and spiritual needs of students; and<\/li>\n
- To help change by exploring practical ways to share skills and knowledge with other students so that each becomes an agent of change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
And here is the exciting bit, people are getting involved. There have been a growing number of participants as the word has spread. The topics covered can be seen on the two Calendars for 2019<\/a> and 2020<\/a> and more are planned for 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Using Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> to publicise upcoming events, with a YouTube channel<\/a> soon to be launched (currently only a few of the videos are there), the PowerUp movement is going to expand in 2021 by adding webinars, podcasts, podinars, some short courses in addition to the monthly zoom meetings.<\/p>\n
