Vision conference and prayer meeting

Thank you for your prayers. God has been doing amazing things in the OICCU recently and here are the big two:

Firstly, the Vision conference went really well. Julian Hardyman did some excellent talks on Jeremiah, there were some thought-provoking seminars, and it was a great time to meet together, get to know one another and praise God together. It was a delight to see so many people excited and enthusiastic about the coming year, and I thank God for them.

Secondly, this morning we had our first prayer meeting of term. OICCU prayer meetings have normally been quite badly attended - last term the average was about 12 per meeting with some meetings having as little as 4. So you can imagine our reaction when 70 people showed up at 8am this morning! It was a wonderfully encouraging time to commit this week and term to the Lord, but the glory must go to Him and please pray that we wouldn't be tempted to think that this has anything to do with us! I would value your prayers for the new reps, as they lead their CUs for the first time this week - for faithful bible study leading, and a clear vision for the year ahead.
