Mission weeks

February is mission week month for Christian Unions up and down the
‘FREE’ is the theme of the
mission week.
land. Alongside freshers week (in September), it is probably the best
opportunity CUs have, as a body, to reach non-christian students in
large numbers, with the gospel.
Last week I was helping out for a couple of days in the Aberystwyth
CU mission, and at the end of the week two people accepted Jesus as
their saviour! Next week we have our mission week in Bangor, and the
CU will be aided by the whole Welsh UCCF team (6 staff workers and
6 relay workers).
We will have free lunches with talks on topics such as: love, life,
suffering and science. In the evenings we will have events specifically
for internationals, sporty students and welsh speakers. All with the aim
to meet people and share the gospel with them. On the Thursday
night we will have the gospel preaching meeting, involving a drama (in
which I will play the devil!)

Please pray for unity in Christ; for opporttunities and boldness to

share God’s love; for energy and love; for the CU to be enthused and
active; for CU to invite their friends; for the follow up course exploring
mark’s gospel; for God to save sinners!

pray for a smooth changeover and that the new leaders would be bold
