Filling up at Forum

Richard Cunningham rallies the troops

1,300 Christian Union Leaders, UCCF staff and Relay Workers attended Forum 2013 —UCCF’s national training event for Christian Union Leaders.

The five-day residential training event (September 2-6) —which has grown from 300 students to over 1,000 since 2003 — remains one the most important components of UCCF’s CU Leadership Training Programme.

Critical difference

Natasha Kasprowicz, UCCF London Team Leader, commented: ‘Getting a CU leadership team to Forum can make a critical difference to the missional effectiveness of a CU for the following year. Students see the bigger picture of UCCF and it leads to lots of conversation about their own local context and what they want to take forward in the coming year’. She continues: ‘I have enjoyed conversations with leaders about what [CU] looks like at London’s art colleges or the Royal Veterinary College, as well as bigger institutions like King’s College or Imperial. It’s wonderful to come together at an event like Forum to pray, to dream and to plan’.
