However, a non-Christian guyheard about the group in the Christian bookshopnext to the building where we meet and decidedto come along last week, to what happened tobe a social event! Please pray he will return nextweek as we continue our studies in Mark (wedecided to go with Mark rather than Colossiansin the end). Praise God there are usually 6 or 7present, but please pray for stability in the groupand for the leaders (Hannah - above) and Alex, asthey prepare and lead the studies.

You might remember that in my last letter I mentioned that therewas going to be a ‘
camp
’ towards the end of October, open toall students involved in the GBU in Belgium. This took place in atown in the south east of Belgium called Spa, from 23
rd
-25
th
October. We studied Revelation in four sessions, and there wasalso time to pray, sing and study together. It was a greatopportunity to spend time with students, and to build uprelationships in a more relaxed environment than at a normal GBUmeeting. Personally, I didn’t find it as tiring as I thought I would. Igot the gist of most of the talks on Revelation, and really enjoyedspending time socially with students (this quite often involvedplaying games, notably the Belgian version of ‘Mafia’ – ‘les loup-garous’ or ‘werewolves’.
There are two groups at the same campus in
Woluwé
as it is predominantly for medicinestudents who are often on placements etc. Havingtwo groups means that students can usually make itto one or the other of the meetings.
Monday
lunchtime
There are usually between 5-10 people at themeetings where we’re currently studying Habakkuk.It’s mainly girls in the group who are already closefriends, but it was encouraging that the only guy in thegroup brought another (male) Christian friend for thefirst time last week.Monday
evening
There have only been two of us at the last two eveninggroup meetings which has been a little discouraging.However the group leader’s attitude to the situationhas been great. Last time she shared her testimonywith me of how she became a Christian, and felt calledto come and study in Europe to be able to act as amissionary amongst students here.
