The Showcase was a great event. I find myself feeling proud to be part of YFC. Anyone that was there, and saw loads of young people commissioned to serve God for the next year, went away knowing that Christianity is certainly not dead.

People often ask why I am still with YFC now that I am old (I think 39 is still young myself!) – the event of the showcase answers that question in part. It shows (1)that Jesus is at the centre of our organisation and (2) we are able to enable hundreds of young people to make that centrality of Jesus a reality to young people all over our nation. It may be true that I am too old to do this myself,an there again it might not be, but I love being able to support and influence others who are out there doing it each day. Hundreds of staff in 57 centres reaching thousands of young people each week – I find that exciting!

When I arrived I met up with the Gillingham YFC team, some of which are shown in the top pic. Aren’t they a lovely looking lot! No doubt some will try to shoot me for posting the pic!

It was cool to see the creative arts and sports teams do their stuff on page, below you can see D2 performing – in my opinion the best! But maybe there is still a bit of Gillingham bias there!
