In February, the Christian Union at Oxford University launches a major mission to students: Andrew Atherstone delves into the archives.
Tim Keller and Os Guinness are in town.
It’s for a six-day mission arranged by the Oxford Inter-Collegiate Christian Union (the OICCU) to proclaim the gospel in a university of 22,000 students from all over the world. There is a similar event every three years, to make sure that every generation of undergraduates hears the Christian message. And this year’s mission is a significant milestone – the Silver Jubilee of OICCU missions – the 25th in a row, from February 1940 to February 2015. Countless lives have been transformed, and still the outreach continues.
