We’re thrilled by what the Lord has been doing through Christian Unions last term. Here are some highlights.

The CU at Reading, in partnership with local churches, hosted a meal for a remarkable 280 international students. Susie, a member of the CU, met a Chinese girl who said she would like to find out more about the Bible. ‘She was very enthusiastic’, commented Gareth Leaney (Staff Worker, Reading). He continues, ‘[she] even asked if she could use a Bible app on her phone so she could understand the translation’.

A record number of delegates attended UCCF’s Forum 2011 CU leader training conference. 1,200 delegates representing around 120 CUs came together to be trained in how to lead. Becky Pippert, Graham Daniels (Director of Christians in Sport), Mark Meynell (Associate Minister, All Souls Church) were among the speakers.
