GBU Potenza had a tremendous experience in December due to the production of a musical, “Fame”. Many young people, united by the passion for the musical, rewrote the script of this famous stage production to bring a message of faith, forgiveness and love in God.

Praise:

  • every person who participated in this project;
  • the strong message presented with the musical;
  • the many opportunities that the Lord has in store for us every day.

Prayer:

  • for every GBU member and his/her life in Christ in the university;
  • for the new semester  we have ahead of us;
  • for the students in our university, that they can understand the importance of the Christian life.

GBU Torino – international group

Tempo di lettura: 2 minuti

Since September 2015 there has been an Interaction Team focusing on International Students in Torino and we are very encouraged with how things have been going.

The year started with an International Welcome Outreach Week and during that week many students were contacted as they arrived to register in the Politecnico di Torino. We spend a lot of time talking to students as they went to the campus and giving invitations to different events.

The programme included, a welcome dinner, walking tour of Torino, sports in Parco Valentino and an Apericena. There were more than 30 students from over 8 different countries at the dinner and many of them have continued to come to our meetings.

Since October we have been meeting with a regular group of International Students every other Tuesday evening. The meetings are social with food and some cultural or fun elements. However each evening we have some time dedicated to thinking about the Christian faith either through apologetic talks, discussions, testimonies or short evangelistic talks. The highlight of the term was the Thanksgiving Meal. Thirty International Students attended the traditional American Thanksgiving Meal and a local American Pastor gave a clear Gospel message.

Most of the Internationals who attend the events are not yet Christians and come from countries closed to the Gospel. It is exciting to see them engaging with Jesus and finding out more about who He is and how He transforms lives today.

Please pray for:

  • Stephi the Interaction volunteer who works tirelessly to build relationships and reach International students in the city.
  • The students who have heard about Jesus (some for the first time) since arriving in Torino. Pray they would see who He is and grow to love Him.

 

GBU La Sapienza

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.

Roma Tre Group

Tempo di lettura: < 1 minuto

Praise:

  • We had an excellent outcome at the Re-Party event we held in the lecture hall to start off the academic year at GBU Rome. Some GBU members demonstrated their talents at this evening and we were able to welcome new students who did not know of the GBU.
  • For having as many as four new students attend the Roma Tre group. They are young believers who actively take part in the studies. Making six different timetables synchronise to find an hour in the week when all of us were free to meet really did seem impossible, but we managed in the end.

Prayer:

  • One of the young women who attends GBU Roma Tre will be bringing two non-believing girl friends to the next meeting. Pray that God will touch the hearts of these two young women and that He will guide the whole meeting.
  • For the big event that GBU Rome is organising. 21 November will be an Open Day, an event where we will present the GBU to the churches in Rome, saying what it is and does. Pray that as many churches as possible attend and decide to support the GBU and encourage the young people in their churches to take part.
