There has been increasing openness to the gospel among university students in the UK this Autumn, the UCCF has reported.
One unbelieving student attended an Abertay Christian Union (CU) lunchtime talk on ‘Lasting Joy’. Afterwards he said: ‘If this is true, you have a genuine hope for eternal happiness. If it’s not, you still have an anchor that allows you to find joy in this life – I find that exhilarating!’
UCCF said that during freshers’ weeks, several CUs have been struck by how open students are to the gospel. Manchester CU staff worker, Boaz Williams (see photo), said: ‘We’ve been amazed at how willing students are to chat and hear about the Christian Union – it’s a far cry from the cynicism of people pre-Covid.’
