An event hosted by Christian Unions in the city of Liverpool was so highly anticipated that students had to stand outside the venue to remain in earshot.
Students in University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores, and Liverpool Hope universities (pictured left and centre) came together to host a week of daily, high-profile, evangelistic events entitled ‘Truth Defined’. With students facing a much more unsettled and uncertain future, greater numbers than ever are open to considering faith, with over 100 students crowded into a packed-out venue.
Compared to a decade ago, students are more likely to come to CU events seeking to discuss their questions rather than to listen to an extended apologetic for the gospel. UCCF Events Co-ordinator Esther Court, who took residency in Liverpool as one of the speakers for the week, found that she had to adapt her material to adjust to this new expectation, including planned pauses to facilitate audience discussion in groups.
