Elodie and Ali were feeling hesitant. They were the only students <\/span>going <\/span>from New Caledonia<\/span>.<\/span> They were tired, and it seemed like a lot of effort to go to the IFES South Pacific Regional Conference (SPARC) in Vanuatu. But by the end of the week, they knew it had been worth it. Meeting so many other Christian students from around the region had deeply encouraged them. They left with a dream of starting a <\/span>witnessing <\/span>group on their campus.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

By the end of 2018 they had managed to find <\/span>a group of<\/span> students interested in joining them, and they <\/span>made a plan<\/span> to meet again after the summer break.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

11 February 2019, six months after SPARC, the first meeting of GBU-NC (Groupe <\/span>Biblique<\/span> <\/span>Universitaire<\/span> de Nouvelle Cal\u00e9donie<\/span>) took place. Ten students <\/span>gathered<\/span>. <\/span>They <\/span>decided<\/span> to <\/span>start <\/span>meet<\/span>ing<\/span> every Monday. <\/span>At the moment<\/span> the students are predominantly from the indigenous people group. They asked <\/span>for prayer<\/span> that <\/span>they<\/span> would be able to reach out to other communities and make <\/span>GBU-NC a place where students from <\/span>different backgrounds<\/span> feel welcome.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Join us in giving thanks and praying for this new group:<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
