Mission of the Month
|
Well Street United Church is supporting Tom Murray, who was a member of our congregation, in his role as a member of the UCCF team based in Exeter. UCCF is a family of students, staff, and supporters working through Christian Unions (CUs). These are mission teams operating at the very heart of universities and colleges, supported by the local church, and resourced by UCCF staff. This network exists to proclaim the gospel and to make disciples of Jesus Christ in the student world. The UCCF vision is to give every student in Great Britain an opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ. The changing face of student life sees many students affected by debt, loneliness and pressure. Increasingly few of these students have any church background, biblical knowledge or Christian faith. Some are hostile to the gospel; many are open to thinking about Jesus. Many future leaders in government, business, the arts and professions are studying in universities and colleges today. It’s vital that the news of the gospel should be given to those people, those who will influence the next generation as parents, teachers and role models and who are students today. Working through Christian Unions is a practical and successful way of making a difference. Four Prayer Points: 1. Please pray for the work of UCCF in the Christian Unions operating in universities and colleges throughout the UK. 2. Please pray for Tom Murray who is leading a UCCF mission team to China in the summer to share the gospel with students over there who have never heard the good news of Jesus. 3. Please pray that more and more students will be open to hearing the gospel and that it will transform their lives and that of future generations. 4. Please pray for Tom Murray when he goes to Hungary to attend the European Leaders Forum where he will meet evangelists from all over the world. Pray that they will share fellowship and learning with each other and that any cultural barriers will be broken down.
