Off to God’s own county, my home county, in a few hours to meet up with people from the churches in Wareham who are thinking of setting up a YFC centre. This is a part of my role that I really enjoy!

Dorset is the county I mainly grew up in, and it’s quite a pain to think I will be an hour away from my home town of Weymouth and not be able to get there – another time. I will however, be able to enjoy the delights of the county as I drive along the A35!

I’m looking forward tonight to hearing about the vision of these churches in Wareham which sounds like quite a nice country place with very few young people. We have camped on a site at the edge of Wareham a few times and when there I was struck by the numbers of young people that were there, milling around and looking lost. It is a nice holiday place, but very little for young people to do or relate to. Being thoroughly converted to urban-ness I quite often forget about the (many same) issues that young people face in rural locations.

I pray tonight will be the start of showing some of those young people the way home to their creator. I pray tonight we can start to transform young lives
