‘It was a privilege to speak at four packed carol services on December 11 [for Southampton Christian Union]’, commented Adrian Holloway, evangelist at Christ Church in London.

He continued: ‘As 550 people filed out of the first service through one door, another 550 entered through a different door for the second! The CU president had to interrupt the service to ask people to ‘budge up’ to create space for these folks to get seats.

By the time I started the talk, we also had people sitting on the floor. So it would seem that Christianity is alive and well in the UK!’ Tom Heasman, the CU president, raved how well the event was received and the impact it’s had on the CU’s mission. ‘With follow-up emails going out to over 250 people who responded in one way or another, once again we are seeing God stirring the hearts and minds of many students on campus.’
