Belfast school students see God move

A high school in Belfast has seen a wave of students start exploring Christianity and come to faith – their Christian Union (CU) growing by over 100 people in the last year alone.

Belfast High CU (BHCU) has existed for over 30 years, and nine years ago there were just over 20 attendees. There has been steady growth and encouragements in the years since, until this year the CU jumped from 60 people meeting weekly in a lecture theatre to over 160 in the larger assembly hall.

“This year what we’ve seen is God just pour his spirit down on BHCU,” said Jonny, a Year 14 student in the CU. “We’ve seen people saved, and lives transformed. He’s brought people from different upbringings and backgrounds to gather.”
