Students finding new life at Word Alive
Daniel Stafford
Every Easter, hundreds of CU students descend upon Prestatyn as an integral part of the Word Alive conference, run in partner-ship with UCCF. Word Alive has furthered the discipleship of thousands of CU leaders, who return to their campuses nurtured by the teaching and by growing in their faith together.
In recent years we have been encour-aged to hear of CU students bringing their unbelieving friends to Word Alive. There is a growing trend for students who have attended CU events, but not yet made a pro-fession of faith, attending as a next step to exploring Jesus. But why is this happening?

Messaging that matters

Social media is a relatively recent phenomenon.
According to an ONS report the number of adults accessing the Internet every day in Great Britain more than doubled between 2006 and 2012, largely driven by social media.1 Mention the phrase ‘social media’ and I suspect most people fit into one of three broad categories: willing participants, uneasy users, or steadfast refusers!

Student carol services
Daniel Stafford
Last year 16,000 non-Christian students heard the gospel by attending a carol service hosted by their university’s Christian Union.
As you read this story, several CUs will have held their 2014 services, with many more to follow in the final weeks of term. Thousands of students who have never had the gospel explained to them will hear an evangelistic message through a carol service.
