Christian Unions Ireland is blessed with a rich history of faithful generations boldly proclaiming the gospel on campuses across the island of Ireland, a story you may have been part of yourself.
Today, we joyfully stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us: students, staff, and supporters who prayed faithfully, gave generously, and sacrificed their time so that students could continue to hear the gospel. It created a legacy that still shapes lives today.
Gifts in wills are one of the ways that legacy continues. They play a vital role in equipping Christian Unions to reach new generations of students and ensure every student has the opportunity to respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
By leaving a gift to CUI in your will, your part in the CUI story can continue, reaching students you may never meet, but whose lives will be changed forever.
“The Christian Union has played a huge role in my faith journey. It’s what first led me to believe in God, helped me understand the Bible, and showed me the power of prayer. It’s through CU that I began to see how God answers prayers and is always present with us… I’ve had the privilege of serving on the UCDCU committee, and it’s been such a blessing. I’ve seen firsthand how God is at work on campus, how even the smallest things we do can bring glory to His name. It’s been incredibly encouraging to witness people coming to our outreach events, picking up a Bible, or stopping to chat. Sometimes they were just curious, but seeing God draw even those who are sceptical or uninterested in Christianity into these moments has been nothing short of amazing.”
– Alessandra Ramanzini, University College Dublin Student
Stories like Alessandra’s show us the incredible ways God is using CUI to change students’ lives for His glory. Every gift in every will, however large or small, makes a difference to students like Alessandra. After you’ve looked after those closest to you, please consider leaving a gift in your will to CUI.
“Name some key areas of Christian discipleship: how to study the Bible, evangelism, developing a Christian worldview, fellowship with people from different churches, leadership training – almost all I ever learned in these areas, and more besides, I owe to my involvement in CUI and the wider IFES fellowship. That legacy of a lifetime and beyond from them to me I feel merits a legacy from me to them.”
– David Cupples, CUI Supporter and Former Board Member
