CU mission weeks are back.
Until recently, the idea of hundreds of students sitting chair to chair in a marquee, baguettes in hand and listening to a gospel talk, has seemed laughably out of reach. In the past few weeks however, 77 Christian Unions across Great Britain were finally able to run mission weeks in-person again. After a two-year break, they were uncertain how these weeks of focused evangelistic events might be received.
Wonderfully, there quickly came reports of an unusual spiritual appetite on campus. Durham CU, for example, saw over 3,000 come to their events. After reading the Bible with two students, Staff Worker Naomi Brehm reflected: ‘I’ve had to pinch myself, evangelism has never felt so easy.’
