UESI-Delhi Regionalisation

UESI-Delhi has been divided into 7 regions: East, West, North, South, Central, South-West and North-West. Each region can have Regional Committee (this will suffice for now). Each Regional Committee can comprise of at least Regional Secretary, Regional Treasurer and 2 students members (plus staff as ex-officio). Each region can then plan for its own, and implement the plans accordingly. The regions can include EC, DTC, LTC etc in their planning, but urged to keep those days reserved for combined programmes of all regions free.

This concept of regionalisation was initiated in 2005. There were various reasons why such initiative was taken. Firstly, it was felt that when programmes were organised not everybody could take part actively though there was such desire. Reason being that 20 graduates were not required to run a camp of 40 students! But regionalisation would enable every member to take part without overcrowding the programme. And with the number of students increasing every year it was required to organise to more camps instead of having one BIG camp. And with students having different calender it was all the more plausible to organise more camps. Hence, regionalisation was initiated for more participation from the members.

Secondly, having a centralised programmes constraint only few graduates to take part in a programme . But these few graduates cannot do the follow up alone because the size of the city was just too large for effective centralised follow-up. But if programmes were organised at a regional level, there could be more graduates and all these graduates would have established relationship with the students. And therefore follow-up would become much more efficient.

Thirdly, as ministry grew in size there was the need to organise more programmes; and sometimes different kinds of programmes too. Organising all of these centrally was getting too taxing for the committee members. So it was felt that regionalistion would help the committee members to attend to other things, and let them coordinate only those things which would be really necessary to conduct centrally.

Welcome to Delhi-UESI

UESI seeks to evangelise post-matric students in India, nurture them as disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, that they may serve the Church and Society. UESI's doctrinal basis shall be the fundamental, historic truths of Christianity including: 1. The unity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in the Godhead. 2. The sovereignty of God in creation, revelation, redemption and final judgment. 3. The divine inspiration and infallibility of Holy Scripture as originally given, and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. 4. The universal sinfulness and guilt of human nature since the Fall, rendering man subject to God's wrath and condemnation. 5. Redemption from the guilt, penalty, and power of sin only through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God. 6. The resurrection of Jesus from the dead. 7. The necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit to make the death of Christ effective to the individual sinner, granting him repentance toward G...
A common need posted on: 5 November 2012 by: Daniel BourdannĂ© This post was originally posted on the  Ichtus Belgium blog  leading up to their week of prayer. What is it like to be a student today in Belgium? In Brazil? In Burkina Faso? In Britain? At the start of a new academic year here in the UK, universities and student life feature more prominently in the press. Alongside news that students at Cambridge University can now get up to 60 free condoms a week, there is debate whether the fall in demand for university places is related to the rise in tuition fees, and also discussion about what changes in university rankings might mean for the future of higher education. The headlines may well be different in another country, yet, as I travel and meet students around the world, I encounter common themes. Friendships and relationships matter. Community is important. More and more people feel the need to be living in community, to belon...

Engaging the University-An Orientation for Newcomers

Dear friends, Some of you in our Facebook group on Engaging the University were not at the IFES World Assembly, but have been in conversation with me for some time about the topic. Others who were at the World Assembly seem to have discovered these issues for the first time. Still others are excited, but also somewhat confused as to what it does and does not entail for IFES ministries. So, I thought I should lead with a brief historical preamble by way of orientation. My wife and I first met Prof. Terry Halliday at an IVCF-USA Following Christ conference in Atlanta, in the last week of 2002. This was a conference for graduate students and faculty (called postgraduates and lecturers in the British-influenced universities!). I was a plenary Bible expositor and Terry led a track for social scientists. It was a fruitful encounter and we have remained friends with a shared concern for the intellectual credibility of our IFES movements in the world of the university. ...
