Fusion, a student church movement has been holding prayer and worship events called “Ignition Nights” for the last eight months, encouraging Christian students to evangelize in cities across the UK.

The church movement equips students and serves local churches and has also hosted worship events with a missional outlook in Falmouth, Bristol, Bath, Southampton, Loughborough and Sheffield.

Roscoe Crawley, Student Mission Developer for Fusion, said in a statement on the Fusion website that the student worship and prayer nights were held over the past eight months until June.

“It was based on the idea that mission is closely linked to worship and prayer,” he explained, referencing Pentecost in Acts 2 and the Great Commission in Matthew 28. “Our dream was that, in the context of worship and seeking the presence of God, students would be ignited with a passion to share the Gospel with their friends at University.

“Alongside worship, we would share testimonies at these events of what God had been doing in other Church student groups in other locations to try and help them catch the fire and vision of what God could do in their lives.”

When visiting the locations for the events, Crawley and the team discovered that local prayer warriors had been praying for such nights to happen for a long time. In Falmouth, Cornwall, more than 50 students from different churches got together to pray.

“On arrival, some locals from an older generation mentioned that they had been praying for an event like this for the last 20 years,” said Crawley. “Most of these nights, if not all, had similar stories where someone said they had been praying for an event that would gather students across a city to pray for God to move among students.”
