GBU Verona
When the group in Verona started up three years ago already, it was somewhat in its infancy, small and wanting to do a lot but was capable of little.
The two girl coordinators, who were virtually the only ones in the group at the time, had lots of energy and a captivating enthusiasm which certainly came from God and which was one of the reasons why today’s writer wanted to take up their role after they left (Iris has just graduated in Law and Valentina in Economics). I would therefore like to thank God for giving these girls this strength and determination and for the work they did in Verona.
Now, three years on, we still feel like a small group, because even though there were 11 of us at the last meeting, there are over 22 thousand students at the university who for the main part do not know Jesus. Therefore, in order to do our best to fulfil the GBU motto, we have decided to apply through university to become an official group on campus and be able to run events in the different faculties. In view of the requirements stipulated by the university for this application, I would say it will take a miracle, nonetheless we have something else in common with the group from three years ago, we believe that God works miracles.
Thus, we thank God for all the students who have started coming to our group and for those who have finished studying, for the study room we managed to find to meet in and for the friendships that have developed in the group. And we are praying for the application progress which will take place in May, for the young adults at the university who we have talked to about Jesus and that God gives us a sense of urgency and importance to need to share with everyone what Jesus has given us.
GBU Verona has started praying, and we are keen for you to pray with us.
