St Marks Church Utley. Serving Christ, one another and the world

Matt Walmsley - Agapé

Sharing God’s love...

I work for an organisation called Agapé, which is the UK branch of Campus Crusade International. Agapé's tagline is 'turning lost students into multiplying disciples'. Basically, we want to re-evangelise Britain by influencing the student population, those who will be future leaders of both Christian and secular society. In the long term, we want to have teams on every single UK campus. Agapé has a big emphasis on multiplication; rather than have our staff try to do the job themsleves, we try to involve Christian students and local churches in everything we do. I work in a team of 6 (soon to be 9) in the North East of England. In the day-to-day, my job involves meeting Christian students and pushing them towards evangelistic lifestyles, and taking them with me to do evangelism around campus. Up to now I have been based mostly at Newcastle University, but hope to spend more time at Teesside University next year.
