It has been a season of vibrant, missional events weeks for Christian Unions. With around 100 CUs taking part, the gospel message has been heard by thousands of students, and hundreds are exploring further.
Students in the University of Warwick Christian Union were some of the first to hold their events week this year, which was centred on the theme of “Hope”. Halfway through the week, Ben (name changed), a CU member’s housemate, decided to attend an event. His curiosity had been piqued after he heard the events week was taking place and he arrived with questions. Interested, but by no means certain of the truth of what he had heard, he said to CU members afterwards: “I don’t know why God loves us”.
CU members were then met with the most radical change they had seen in the heart of a student. As Ben looked through some passages at the person of Jesus, alongside the CU, the Holy Spirit opened his eyes. He said: “Jesus is Lord, and I see my own sinfulness”. Ben accepted Christ into his life there and then!
