I met with Dennis today from Weald YFC, with Rachael from our Church Resources department as part of the Integrate mission process.

We chatted for 3 or so hours about his dreams for the area, what things may work and what things definitely would not. We heard about the exciting things happening, such as running 60 assemblies in one school and holding regular survival weekends to give young people an opportunity to see Christianity in a different light. (den is running one this weekend so I am glad the weather forecast is good). If you want something different and challenging for your youth group then book a survival weekend!

On the way back from the Weald with Rachael I was struck by the real privilege it is to just sit in and listen to peoples dreams and how they think God is challenging them with this task of ‘mission’ – whatever that may be. A real privilege tinged with quite a lot of excitement as we look at how we can support in partnership and see more exciting things happening! Exciting times!
