Prayer
  • TMD, “The Mark Drama”: God willing, GBU Florence will also carry out this wonderful project at the beginning of May!! We’re super enthusiatic and we’re asking for prayer that the event will go well, both for the actors and our friends who are coming to see the play!!
  • We’re asking for prayer that each of our small initiatives will bear fruit to God’s glory!

Praise
  • We thank God that we’ve been recognised as an association in the Polytechnic and this allows us to have an institutional email address, therefore we can send emails to all the students in the Polytechnic, inviting them to our events. This made two of the last events highly successful: the open mic and a seminar on pornography, both of which drew around 40 non-believing students.
  • Praise God that this month a student made the decision to follow Christ!
  • That new group members were enthusiastic and got involved.
Prayer

  • That those interested in the faith could deepen their study of the Word, and that we students would help them in that process.

Thanks to God, we’ve started up the Bible studies from the book of Acts again in the various groups, and we’re organising various outreach events for the month of April.

Praise

GBU Rome

Tempo di lettura: < 1 minuto

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.
