This year has been unreal...Please keep sending in your stories, we want to hear them!! Below are just a few we have received..... Hey, we had exoday on Thursday and it was incredible. I was stressing because the bands were late and we didnt think we'd be finished setting up in time but we were and it was amazing.
We had 2 bands, sausage sizzle, face painting, pie eating competition, funny photos where the girls could get dressed up in crazy outfits and have photos taken, sock wrestling and a princess tent where they could get their nails painted, hair straightened or curled and hand massages. Everyone got a heart lollypop that had a little card on it saying things like they're a princess and beautiful. We had heaps of prizes and give-aways which was super! It was amazing to see some girls who were closed up to God want to know stuff about Big Exo Day and some are coming which is awesome! We couldn't have done it without God. It was awesome coz this was the first exo that i was helped organise and it was so good to see it all come together and all the girls jst having an amazing time, they were jst amazed that everything was free and it was cool jst to be like yeh life is excellent and u can jst have fun anytime. Even the teachers were having a good time! It was fantastic!!
Thanks a bunch for the manuals etc. They helped a lot! Verity Set up started early at 7am, with committed members from each Christian group on campus helping, and getting together to pray at 9am. BBQ started up by 11:30 and throughout the lunch period we were able to give over 500 BBQ lunches to heaps of uni students and some staff too! Attractions on the day included stalls, jumping castle, tatoo machine, chill lounge, free cordial, xbox, live art... The lunch hour was the best, with everyone concentrated around the main courtyard and lots of little conversations all over the place. People hung around after and there was great team bonding time after as we packed everything up and were out at about 5pm. We are building for a reality where people open up to the message; where it is a natural thing for people to be interested in, and even seeking God stuff offered on campus rather than putting up walls immediately. We are really excited now about launching the uni mag, life classes and doing more stuff on campus. This event has really put us in a good position with the uni to do more stuff, as the two main authorities were impressed by how we ran the day. Come on!!

Well Great Lakes College tuncurry junior campus's EXO day was EXO.We had a band, gross games, moch pit, huge giant ball that we threw into the mosh(which did get out of hand), free food sausages, girls and boys Markee, teachers marquee, heaps of give-a-ways, cafe, and testimonies. We played some pretty gross games like international cooking where you mix up all different foods together, blind fold them and they have to guess what they just ate. Eg rolled oats, soy sauce, pickled ginger, cold vegetable soup and whipped cream. We had 8 people play and when we asked them what they ate we got all different types of answers but the person who answered the most correct won a mobile phone, also only one girl out of the 8 vomited ggggggllll but we gave her voucher for doing it anyway.The whole response was very overwhelming with students not wanting to leave and even missing buses, we didn't hear one negative thing from any of the students nor teachers probably because the student missed out on maths. In the end the whole community saw us in the local newspaper and unfortunately the news were unable to make it as well. I defently recommend that every school should have an EXO day. I truly hope that every school in Australia gets to experience an EXO day in there school it will not only change your life it will change the students life. Jacob We had exoday 06 at Lithgow High School on the 12th August..We had 800 sausages donated to us, as well as over a hundred prizes. Students received a showbag which had: a youth group info sheet, a cd with a sermon and 3 songs & lollies. We had a hundred Christian cd's donated, as well as $25 Telstra vouchers, as well as many other prizes from local businesses. We had a guest speaker from Swansea- Tim Griggs, come down and speak, we had Korean missionaries come and sing, a dance group, and a school band. Everyone thought the day was a success and enjoyed by all. Karina
