We share a recent update from our York Centre Team Leader, Charis, who passes on two encouraging moments from recent weeks;

“Chris is a student from the Philippines, known to us from one of the first welcome events last September. He was one of the three students we met at that event. However, God turned the frustration into excitement, because Chris started to join every event we hosted and very quickly, he decided to attend church and come to our Bible study group regularly. The conversations with Chris soon developed into how he experienced God’s care and how he appreciated knowing Jesus. Yes, he proclaimed his trust in Jesus last November. It’s been a real encouragement to see Chris grow and share his faith to others.

A second recent story is of ‘John’, originally from China, who attended a university Open Day Event in May. He was invited to our international event and met many Christian friends for the first time. His original two-day trip in York turned into a whole week holiday, during which, he attended every event we organised including our Bible group and a church service. A few weeks later, he returned to visit for a few days and again attended all our events. Just before he left York, he showed his appreciation towards us and most importantly, towards Jesus for saving him!”….

Please be praying for these two individuals, two wonderful recent stories to keep in your thoughts at this time!
