Dear Friends,

We pray that you are all managing to stay healthy and positive in these challenging times.  How blessed are we that ‘God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.’ (Psalm 46).

How comforting are these words when there is so much fear and uncertainty around us, that God is Sovereign over all things and that the risen Lord Jesus sits at His right hand, interceding for us. 

We, like so many teams locally and globally, have had to adapt to new working routines and environments and remain thankful for the technology that enables us to remain connected, as a team and with some of the young people we serve. Matt, Isaac and I meet via video conference every morning for prayer and Bible study and have decided to share a chapter from the OT and one from the NT each day, starting at the beginning of both. 

Matt and Isaac are running two of our regular youth groups online, Little Noise and Fuse (run in partnership with the team at GBC) each week and we are in regular contact with local schools as we remain prepared to deliver our usual raft of summer transition workshops and retreat days but with no firm dates as to when these will go ahead. You know how much we value your support and we remain equally committed to supporting young people in whatever way we can during lockdown and beyond. 

Please do let us know how we could be praying specifically for you and your church family. With love and prayers,

Andy, Matt & Isaac
