GBU Rome

Tempo di lettura: 2 minuti
Tor Vergata
  • We thank God for a good start back again. There are some new young believers who take part in our meetings, but more importantly, some non believers have started taking part! Some came along to events organised last year, others have always been invited to the Bible studies and this year they decided to come and have attended them regularly!
  • Pray that compromises would be found over when to hold the studies and that God would cause us to expand on the campus.
Roma Tre
  • This year the Roma Tre group kicked off again with a whole new group of students! In fact there wasn’t a group at the this university last year.
  • Pray that it would continue to grow in numbers and that our young adults would have the courage to speak to their friends about Jesus so that they can invite them to the meetings.
La Sapienza
  • The year started really well! At the first meeting we held of all the universities, there were 4 Colombian Erasmus student guests, and some of them still attend the Bible studies. We thank God that the weekly meetings have been well attended and that there has been a good rapport among us in the group. We had the World Student Day evening where we were very encouraged by seeing the broader view of universities in the world.
  • In November we’ll have a “My Hope” evening, where we’ll watch the film with Billy Graham, “The Cross” together and we’ll invite our friends.
  • Around mid December the GBU group in Rome will also put on The Mark Drama after a gap of some years! Pray the event will glorify God, lots of university friends will come and the whole organisation will go well.
  • In March we’re doing an outreach week, and this isn’t easy when the campuses are so large and so distant from one another. Pray that new people would be reached over these days.

There are currently three weekly Bible studies in Rome, one at the Sapienza University, another at Tor Vergata, and a third and final study is taking place every Wednesday for all students in Rome. Students come to this evening study from private universities too and some come from Roma Tre, as they don’t currently have a permanent group in the faculty. This year there have also been a lot of Erasmus students arriving who have decided to join in the GBU Rome activities.
We’re asking for prayer for outreach events we’ve planned for April and May, and for the University of Roma Tre which doesn’t currently have a Bible study group.

Praise:

  • This year there are many new students that are attending the group – students that are smart and motivated in the Lord’s work.

Prayer:

  • that we can organize meetings and events to make ourselves known on La Sapienza campus and more importantly to reach non Christian students.

Gillian Law

Gillian is from Australia but she grew up in Asia (Nepal and India). She has been living in Italy since 2014.

Growing up in a Christian family, she always knew that Jesus died and resurrected to save her from her sins. At the age of 10, she realized that Christianity wasn’t just a mere family tradition but a personal relationship with God open to anyone.

She graduated in Physiotherapy and Theology. During her university life in Australia, she attended AFES (the Australian GBU) and, before coming to Italy, she was working for an evangelical church in the University of Armidale in Australia.

She loves history, science, sport and being outdoors and is pleased with the opportunity to serve GBU while sharing the world’s most beautiful message: the work of Jesus has reconciled the world to God!
