UCCF celebrated 75 years of student ministry this year. In a two-part article, Lindsay Brown reflects on its contribution to the church. This month he looks at the UK.
I served on UCCF staff nearly 25 years ago and, as I write, I cast my mind back further, to my own student days in the early-mid 70s. I carry a deep sense of gratitude to God for the Inter-Varsity Fellowship, now UCCF.
Building on my youth fellowship days in Merthyr Tydfil, the Christian Union fostered in me the importance of evangelism, a love of Scripture and a grasp of the world-wide Church. For the first time, I found myself having fellowship across denominations. Through reading and discussion, I was being stretched to apply a Christian worldview to my studies.
