So it’s the last day now and what a week we’ve had. I feel I can’t do it justice by trying to summarise it in one blog. God’s been too good for that. But I’m sure we all have our own conversations and personal stories to look back over and thank Jesus specifically for. Please do share these with one another – it is such an encouragement to hear what God has been doing and a great way to build each other up as the week draws to a close. A few things to mention; Outreach this week has simply been awesome. God’s presence has dominated so many conversations and situations and it is so exciting to see and hear about people showing such an interest whilst just walking across campus. Give thanks for the outreach team this week and the passion they have to share the Good news with this campus. They have been such a blessing. Pray for the conversations that have been had and the seeds that have been sown in so many hearts. Also give thanks for the conversations that have happened during International café, Text a Toastie and on the Question sofa. On my way to write this blog I passed the sofa and saw a whole crowd of people gathered around asking questions. I have also heard a rumour of a couple of Text a Toastie conversations that have led to our ultimate goal; saved souls - Praise God and pray for new found faiths. It is just so exciting! The café this week has been great with so many students finding it as such a welcoming and relaxed environment and I know of many a conversation that people have come away from thrilled. Thank God for his provision and peace in all practical things in the café and marquee, and for the relationships that have built up there. Pray that they may they continue to grow on past this week. The contribution of so many of the CU in all aspects of this week has been great to see, as well as the involvement of the Oxford team and all other CU guests. The passion and commitment that have been demonstrated has been such a blessing to the whole campus. God’s provision has been astounding so we must praise his name for this. Last night we had debating delusion and from what I hear it was an amazing success. So many great conversations were had in the marquee with so many difficult questions being tackled and answered, some of which continued til past midnight! Please pray that God is working on the hearts of people involved and that they will continue to search for the answers they need. Finally, I can’t write all this without mentioning the effects of the talks this week. So many people, Christian and non Christian have come away buzzing and God’s presence has been unmissable. Last night’s talk had every seat full and many people having to stand outside. It was great to see 6 months hard work paying off as people were transfixed by Michal Ramsden’s talk and signing up to the alpha course at the end of the evening. Please pray for Michael as he prepares for his talk this evening which looks set to be the biggest turnout this week and a great opportunity to reach out to so many. Pray for God’s continued presence to be moving in the hearts and minds of people and that they’ll continue to seek God, and that we as a CU can be a supportive community for all those who are still seeking the answers. God really has been moving this week but we know he does not want this to end here. Pray for the alpha course starting up tomorrow and that it will provide the answers to the big questions that people look for. That as this week draws to a close it will not the end, but the beginning of something big. Thank you such much for your prayerful support this week – His presence is the reason for this week’s success. He’s the God of this city, of this campus, of these people, and He really is good! God Bless! EW Team.
