Managed to catch up with Dennis yesterday from Weald YFC who has been a friend now for around 8 years when we kind of started together in YFC at around the same time.

Dennis is an excellent guy who is fantastically creative with a real passion to see young people reached with the love of God. Not only is he talented, but he is such a cool and gracious guy too. I guess that’s why I like him so much.

This guy is just so talented – as well as being a cool youth worker, he writes music, sings, can design web pages and publicity and even puts on survival weekends which, if I’m honest, I’m far too much of a wimp to try out; just the advertising comments below from his website terrify me!

So you think you know how to survive? Imagine having to build your own shelter to keep you dry! Having to win points for your team so you can eat! And when you find your food having to cook it! Its time to learn some new skills! And step out of your comfort zone. 2 nights out in the woods with your friends doing your best to survive.

I’m actually getting a chance to meet up with him again on Sunday as I pop in to look at Elevate.

Thanks Dennis for coming to Gillingham – it was a great excuse to get out in to Gillingham High Street and enjoy the new noodle bar!

Strikes me we do not catch up with friends enough. Why is that? We love spending time with friends and we dislike the grind of work (usually). But … we spend loads of time in the office and nearly no time with friends. mmmmm I must change that!
