SPbCU Students Traveled to Germany

This spring (2010), we were invited to the Student Conference in Lebenszentrum Adelshofen. The conference was held by ESYA - European Student Youth Association. This movement goes back to the 1950s, when students of European theological schools came together in prayer for missionary service. The visit to the conference turned out to be very fruitful for us. We've got new acquaintances, new experiences, and new horizons in serving God. We are encouraged by the fact that students from different European countries share the same idea: to proclaim the gospel all over the world. We wish to express our gratitude to SPbCU administration for letting us attend the conference and to all those who made this conference possible. "
