Tonight we met with the cell leaders from Landmark. We have just asked one of the girls, Lucy, to become a cell leader who is dead excited about the opportunity. The enthusiasm of young people is so exciting to see.

I should not be but always am amazed at the energy and commitment of young people. We hear loads of bad press, and yet so much good goes unreported.

Tonight we met to introduce the teaching material for this term which is based on the book of James. Sarah has basically given them nut and bolts, rather than spoon feeding them with activities and ideas with written sessions, and the cell leaders themselves have to decide what to do and how to deliver. Again, they were really excited at this, rather than scared which could have been the reaction.

I think Sarah has developed a great example of enabling here. The basics are there, we are here to support if needed, but we know and believe they have the ability. Our belief in them gives them the encouragement that they need.

It’s a real pleasure working with these guys – a good end to a good day.

Well, I’m off to bed now as theses same enthusiastic people are joining us in London tomorrow for the vigil and I think an old man like me needs to catch up on his sleep!
No nasty comments needed thank you very much!
