Let's talk about struggling... Events Week 2023

January 2023

Dear Prayer friends,

We're well and truly halfway through Events Week, and we've had some

wonderful feedback from the last couple days! Conversations are flowing

freely, and Jesus is really shining through all of us. We are so grateful to all our

speakers who are sharing their stories and the love and truth of Jesus to

everyone.

Today's talks were about struggling, and where God is in the darkness, and

moments of hopelessness. Today, we're looking at finding hope with God in

those moments.

As I've chatted to so many people over the past couple of days, and it has

been so encouraging to hear the testimonies that people have. One that really

stuck with me, is where a friend of one of our CU members had been previously

against the idea of faith, and wasn't interested in anyway, which can be quite

difficult to hear and deal with as a Christian friend! But God really is amazing -

this friend, then came to one of the Events Week talks by their own volition, and when asked, said that their friend "had changed their perception on faith." I was

so encouraged by this, because it just shows how God really can work and

change people's hearts; even when it looks like there is nothing happening.

Please keep praying for student's hearts to be softened and turned

around so they can see the truth and light of Jesus. Also, please keep praying

for those of us who are running around to keep everything running smoothly!

We know God is with us this week, and He continually provides us with

strength. Pray for our confidence to talk to our friends, classmates,

housemates and those who are on our hearts to bring to Jesus. The past

couple days have been filled with great conversations, so we're just praying

that they continue and Jesus' words root into people's lives and hearts.

Yours in Christ,

Ruta at RUCU
