"Blown away by the Gospel"
We are blessed to be in such a time as this. God is moving in this uni and people are beginning to find wholeness and freedom in God.
On Wednesday at Text a Toastie one guy from Hartley collided with God. He didn’t originally text in but bumped into the team and they phoned down for a toastie to be delivered, his mate then asked for the same. He had been to all 3 Big Issues lunch time...
To live is Christ and to die is gain.
God just continues to reveal Himself to me through the times where I feel I’m most vulnerable. At the beginning of last Friday’s talk, I was struck when Matt Summerfield started joking about getting to heaven quicker, by holding someone down in the holy water during baptism. I know he was only joking, but it got me thinking…
A few weeks ago, a couple of housemates and I were attacked as we made...

It was a standard Saturday evening in halls. I was making dinner in the kitchen, and the main friendship group in our flat of 20 asked me if I’d like to go out, however, I’d already decided that I was going to have a quiet night-in after a hectic, work-filled week. After...
God's continuing work.
I had the privilege in Fresher’s week to share the Gospel with someone. He was so hungry for God that we prayed a prayer of confession and commitment together as he gave his life to Christ! Since then I have tried to contact him many times with no response. On Friday night someone from Inside Out met this guy who is still hungry to know Jesus like we do. Pray for him that this week he would...

Throughout the evening we gave out Mark Gospels and Bibles and we are praying that they...

In first year, we had a cleaner from India, T, who I used to see every Tuesday in my kitchen in halls. He was really friendly and we used to chat together - just for a few minutes - every week. He only worked in my halls for a short time, but I invited him to International Cafe and he came a few times. I spent most of my...
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me.
This morning I ate breakfast with the girlfriend of one of my housemates, both of us with sopping wet hair, trying to muster up some energy for the day from our cereal bowls. She’s a great girl, but we don’t know each other that well yet. I offered to her if she wanted to use my hair dyer, so we went upstairs to my room and she started having a peek at my things, one of which was a...

I cannot keep the events of this past month to myself any longer. God’s love and power is just filling me up and overflowing and this deserves to be shared immediately because what I have witnessed is nothing short of a miracle. I was out gallivanting in Wallingford...
