In the last week of August 1,000 Christian Union leaders gathered at the Quinta Christian conference centre in North Shropshire for the 100th Forum conference.
Over the last century, 40,000 students have been equipped for witness in their universities through Forum, and it was a privilege to stand alongside students this year.
Part of a bigger mission
Forum often has a greater impact on students in five days than there might otherwise be in one term. The high-quality teaching received in one go, the fellowship of eating, sleeping, laughing and crying together as a CU community, and seeing CUs from all over Great Britain united in the gospel – all of this has a profound impact on young students. Whether they belong to a large or relatively small CU, students realise they belong to something far bigger, and leave thrilled to be a part of God’s work in Great Britain.
