Why Blog? [Kit@USYD]

So... for many of you the idea of blogging may be a bit foreign or even weird. So I'd like to share with you a bit of background as to where this came from.

A few Sydney people may remember a long time ago on 2008 Lorne Summer Project, we discussed the idea of using a blog for our campus to circulate news of what's happening on our campus. But unfortunately, nothing happened for a while, until a fateful car trip a few days ago following the ever-awesome Mid Year Conference in Albury. There were 3 Sydney students in the car and one student from Geelong and somehow the conversation turned to how little we know about what goes on on the other campuses, especially those that are geographically removed from each other. So we thought, what better way to share news, praise and prayer points and things we've been learning in campus ministry than in a common blog? One in which any Student Lifer can post about what's going on at their uni?

I hope you guys can see the potential of this tool that Nica has very generously set up for us. It's a place where hopefully, we'll be hearing from SLers all over Australia about what God has been doing in the movement. I'm very excited, and I hope you are too. :)
