WIDER BIGGER DEEPER

We have a meeting tonight at the Corps to discuss our future plans for our children's and youth outreach and discipleship in Pill. Our youth leader is getting married in July and moving away which has mobilised us to look at our whole provision for young people.

We spent time on Sunday evening praying about a way forward and we believe that we can move forward positively. The temptation when you lose leadership is to think that everything must diminish but we believe that God will help us to move forward.

Recently we were asked by our DYO to outline our hopes and dreams for youth work in our Corps. We felt the Spirit say we need to reach a WIDER number of young people. Our current activities for children and youth are good but under used. We long to have a BIGGER impact on their lives and their families. We are not just interested in keeping kids off the streets but want them to discover a faith for life. Finally we want to help those who are committed to Christ to go DEEPER into him.

Your prayers will be appreciated.

God bless

Carol
