MEUNI – Evangelical Mission to the University.
A delightful bunch, with a record turn-out today, at least over recent years.
Bernardo (male, white sleeveless tee-shirt, near back), a one-time member of the English group at the PIB, is now leading the MEUNI group. We have a good friendship going back over the years, and he has asked Andrew to speak at least once a month at the University.
Because of the high turn-over in the student scene, and the time since we last had more or less regular involvement, we are getting to know a whole new group, and they seem a good lot. What is striking is the large number that come from informal house-churches. It would seem that the emergent church movement is very much a reality amongst young people in Floripa. So the openness that we see to the Word probably signifies a degree of openness to anything – but at least we have the opportunity to bring the Word. Please pray for a good semester with them.
