  • Pray for events weeks 2023

Five ways to pray for events weeks this spring

Events weeks invite thousands of students across Great Britain to respond to the life-changing news of Christ. Spread over five days, these high-profile evangelistic events are designed to make Jesus known to the wider university. Events weeks are a pivotal point in the year – many give their lives to Jesus, start investigating Him, while others grow in a love of evangelism.

Please join us as we pray:

  1. Pray for the practical and logistical organisation of the weeks. Pray for a humble dependence on God and trust in His sovereign plan.
  2. Pray that CU members will grasp the vision for mission, get involved and make the most of opportunities to share Jesus with their friends.
  3. Pray that unbelieving students will attend events, hear the gospel and find Jesus for themselves.
  4. Pray for follow-up courses to introduce seeking students to Jesus as they read and discuss God’s Word.
  5. Pray that these weeks of bold student witness for Christ will continue to bear fruit over the coming months and years. Pray for the perseverance of those who profess faith during the week – for their ongoing discipleship rooted in local churches.

Thank you for your prayers as the CUs step out with the gospel this term. Find the list of events weeks happening this year here.
