'It was amazing to see how God could use me on my year abroad'

Jemina studied Russian language at Cambridge University. When her third year arrived, it was finally time for her to embark on the adventure that is studying abroad!

During lockdown, Olivia*, a former Agapé Students Student Rep in Birmingham (now graduated), joined an online version of the Living & Telling course. She used to think that evangelism (talking about our faith) meant starting discussions about Jesus with random strangers. ‘I found that kind of terrifying!’ Olivia admits.

‘My experience of Living & Telling was SO positive!’ remembered Olivia. ‘The course content was really helpful and thought-provoking but in a really manageable way. It stripped the whole process of talking about my faith down to focussing on relationships: between me and God first and then on the relationships I have with people who don’t yet know Jesus.’

The confidence that Olivia gained from going through the Living & Telling course actually started to help her as she was talking about her faith with her good friend at university, Katy*.

Olivia and Katy eventually started studying the Bible together, and Olivia used the Knowing God Personally booklet to explain to Katy how she could become a Christian, if she wanted to.

Just over a year after Olivia and Katy started meeting, Katy decided that she was ready to put her trust in Jesus herself. ‘Woohoo!’ exclaimed Olivia, who was rather excited telling the story!
