FOCUS organized a programme in Kandy recently to introduce the FOCUS ministry to the Churches around Kandy and to share the importance of University Ministry in Sri Lanka. The programme was held at the Kandy City Mission and a group of 25 members of Churches from various denominations participated at this event. Kolitha Dissanayake, FOCUS staff member and Peradeniya University Chaplain, welcomed everyone and spoke about the objectives of the programme.
Speaking at the programme Yohan Abeynaike, the General Secretary of FOCUS, encouraged the audience to see the university not just as a place of study but also as a place of discovery. He also appealed to the wider Church to see the FOCUS ministry not as a separate organization but as the Church’s arm in the university.

An introductory video of the FOCUS ministry’s 30 year history and ethos was also screened.

Y. Paheerathan and Menura Perera from FOCUS visited the Eastern University and conducted a teaching programme with some of the members of the Christian fellowship there. Despite the students being in the middle of exams they came and participated in the activities as they discussed various aspects of leadership.

Many things are happening in the universities which cannot be captured in the periodic reports/newsletters that are sent out. If you want to be regularly informed of our activities and prayer needs please subscribe to our email prayer group. We hope to build a dedicated group of men and women who will pray regularly for the ministry and would like to invite you to be a part of this new initiative.
You can subscribe to the email group by sending an email to Sanjayan Rajasingham (sanjayan@focus.lk) who will be coordinating the email group. If you wish to receive specific prayer requests by sms please send in your name and telephone number to Sanjayan as well.
Thank you for your partnership.
