Fasten your seatbelts...Events Week 2023

January 2023

Dear Prayer friends,

Welcome to the new year! We've had a wonderful start, with loads of new and

old faces ready to learn more about Jesus. We had our second Dial-A-Donut

outreach event this month, and though less successful than before, we are still

going on in strength! We know that God is moving through our campus, even if

it is just through us flyering.

This week is the beginning of our annual Events Week. All week, we have

various talks and seminars on our main campus, and it is our biggestoutreach event of the year. For the first time in three years (or what feels like

forever!) we are finally able to have a huge white marquee in the middle of our

campus! This is such a blessing from God as it means we are so much more

visible to people on campus, instead of hiding out in a room in the RUSU

building. The marquee does come with some of its own challenges, such as the

cost and upkeep of it, as well as making sure that all our equipment is safe

overnight.

So, how does Events Week work? This year, we're looking at "What's my

purpose?" which is a great conversation starter, and something we're so

excited to chat about with other students on campus. We start the day off

with Prayer Breakfast, then a lunch talk, an international talk in the early

afternoon and one in the evening usually accompanied by games and food!

It's a wonderful opportunity for us to reach out to the hearts on campus

and spread the light and love Jesus to everyone. Every morning, I'll do my

best to send out a short letter detailing what's happening that day and any

testimonials!

Overall, please do pray for all of us at Reading CU this week. It's a long week, and

very busy. We're all students alongside this, and we would really appreciate your

prayers for strength and perseverance, our safety and Jesus' love and

wisdom to run through all of us. At the bottom of the email is our weekly

timetable for those who are interested!

As always, thank you for your support and your prayers! Knowing we're not

alone in this is a comfort. Please keep praying for our confidence to talk to

our friends, classmates, housemates and those who are on our hearts to bring

to Jesus. Please keep the people we meet this week in your prayers.

Yours in Christ,

Ruta at RUCU
