Update and points for prayer

Jo Pestell — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100

We have recently returned from our second residential teaching week where we saw God move powerfully. It was really encouraging to have both returning faculty members and visiting lecturer's teach and watching the impact it had on the student's lives. Everyone seems to be settling into the rhythm of study and we have been greatly encouraged by seeing the students in each hub begin to form friendships and help each other over any hurdles that may be faced in a new learning environment.
