Malvern schools week

Mark has just returned from a great week in Malvern where he has been working with several schools in the area.

He was joined on the team by John Froud (our latest Associate Evangelist), Sara Whittlestone, Mark Drake and Katie Jones.

While preparing his talk to be given at the school assemblies throughout the week Mark was stopped in his tracks twice by God, who clearly told him that what he was preparing wasn't right. After much prayer he felt led to ask the young people two questions.

1. What do you follow and how reliable is it?

2. What are you looking for? - If you don't know, how will you know if you find it.

Mark was thrilled with the phenomenal impact of this challenge with both the staff at the schools and the pupils. Follow up conversations and emails (including one you will see in the next prayer letter) indicated that many had been challenged, encouraged and some appeared to have responded to Christ.

So if you were praying, thank you for your support. Malvern schools week is a yearly date in the diary and we must continue to pray for a freshness each year for the team as they prepare to share God's amazing message with literally hundreds of young people across the Malvern area.
