Another privileged day as another group of centres met with the YFC Leadership Team. Another group of diverse people united in their passion to see young people reached with the gospel. Another group of people who make daily sacrifices to see God’s mission work out in their lives.

Today I feel yet again that I have met up with friends rather than colleagues. It was good to be able to chat to so many good, both old and new, friends and hear of their highs and lows. It does seem that we are in a special time of ‘favour’ with loads of new doors opening which will enable us to share the gospel. As is always the case in all mission, there are also the many struggles that we experience and feel hopeless to intervene in.

As we prayed with each other at the end we were reminded by God that he is central to what we do, and that we need to feed our relationships both with each other and with him which can often be neglected in exciting times such as these seem to be. Ending the day by sharing bread (which had been baking all day in the bread maker at the front of the church)and wine was a great way of bringing this to the front of our minds.
