From Aberdeen to Plymouth, tens of thousands of students have been given the opportunity to hear the gospel and respond to the claims of Jesus Christ.

UCCF students, staff and supporters have recently been at full capacity with nearly 90 large-scale missions impacting campuses up and down Britain.

One of those missions took place in February in the heart of Oxford, a city fabled for its dreaming spires and impressive alumni: Wesley and Whitfield, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, and 26 British Prime Ministers. UCCF and IFES have recently co-purchased Blue Boar House (BBH) from Oxford City Council. Set between the Town Hall and Christ Church (which is both a college and a cathedral ) — bang in the centre of Oxford — BBH provides UCCF and IFES with headquarters and a centre of excellence that will impact student ministry across the world.
