Canvas celebrates Thanksgiving in a big way

A record-breaking crowd of more than 130 students attended the second annual Canvas Thanksgiving dinner, reports Globalscope-England team leader Robert Braden. Eight Canvas students also shared testimonies with the community about the things for which they are most thankful.

“We are so thankful for what God is doing here at Canvas,” Robert writes. Here are some highlights from the CMF team’s ministry to British college students during this fall term, which comes to a close in a couple weeks:

• An average of 60-70 students have been attending the Tuesday night Bible studies. Several students have even openly shared where they are in their journey with Christ – a big step for them.
• Plans are being made for the group’s first retreat in March, and also for a mission trip to Mexico to build homes for underprivileged families.
• Preparations are underway to begin a monthly Saturday night church service.
• Robert and teammate Nathan Jones have been leading a weekly small group to share their faith with a select group of students.
