I have only been in my new post two and half months, but yet some many doors have been opened and fast developments are being made in the youth work at All Saints. It is all down to God! God is doing exciting work at All Saints and also across Coventry youth work. It is a very exciting time. God has blessed me and Luke by placing us in the midst of it.
God has changed and shaped me loads over the last few months in my role as a youth worker, but also in my role as a wife. Before getting married God gave me a clear image that my change of surname could give me a new found confidence, if I trusted in God and let Him use me. Rather than not doing things, such as schools work and networking with new people, because I feel unable and vulnerable, but letting God take over and use me when I am weak. Wow, God has not let me down yet!
I am just starting to have conversations with getting involved in another school in our parish, to see how I can support them. In December I am going to be doing some lesson work based on Christmas with the yr7's at Bluecoat Secondary School, alongside Coventry Youth For Christ. I am also on the core leadership team for monthly youth worship event for young people in Coventry overseen by YFC, in which we looking to do a social action week (similar to hope) in Coventry.
I praise God for youth firework social we had last week, which went down really well with the young people. As a result new friendships are being built and the young people are more united as a group.
I ask that you pray for myself and two other people who are going to Eastbourne this weekend for the youth work conference. Pray for save travelling in particular and that God will inspire us. Particularly pray that God will show me His vision for the youth work, and inspire me.
