The Cambridge Seven (Student Missionary Movement)

The Cambridge Seven was a group of seven students from the University of Cambridge in England who, in 1885, chose to dedicate their lives to Christian missionary work overseas instead of pursuing careers in Britain. Inspired by their faith, they joined the Student Volunteer Movement, which aimed to evangelize, support church growth, and serve communities in need around the world. Their commitment helped spark a global awareness and enthusiasm for missionary work among students and churches, influencing many others to volunteer for missions. The Cambridge Seven are remembered for their dedication to faith-driven service and global outreach.
