It’s been a busy few days which I’m pretty excited about really.

To backtrack a little; after my 10 mins of fame on Premier Radio I received quite a few emails in my inbox on the following Monday. Amazingly, they were all in groups from particular parts of town – so watch this space!

Yesterday it was good to meet with Ben Hyde in the lovely Kent town of Sittingbourne. Here the church leaders are looking together at some co-ordinated youth outreach within the town. Obviously to me I feel this should be a YFC centre. The leaders are chatting about this and I have a really positive feel about the way forward in Sittingbourne.

Today I met with Mike King who is the Director of the Children and Youth Work at St Lukes church in Maidstone. We were catching up with each other but I particularly wanted to raise with him the possibility and viability of some YFC work in Maidstone. It strikes me that this is a town with loads of young people and active churches able to work together – and so a really environment in which to plant a YFC centre.

Mike has taken ideas away and I hope things will move over the next few months with the churches there.

In a little while I will be leaving to drive off to Wandsworth for the launch of Solid YFC in East Hill Baptist Church. This will be an incredibly exciting time. The launch concert will include an appearance by dj Dave Blackwood, songs from Dave Doran an address from Roy Crowne, National Director of Youth for Christ.

Pauline is a fantastic woman and has been working in Wandsworth for many years, introducing young people to Jesus. The launch of this centre will be the realisation of a dream she has had for years. Its really cool to see things like this come off and I am really looking forward to the excitement of the launch this evening.

Hopefully I will be able to post some pics tomorrow.
