Last Two Weeks:

Kirstie attended the YFC Senior Staff Sabbatical Retreat last week. She was blessed by the 3 days and loved being able to have space to think and to pray.

Since the last prayer email Jess has been to Switzerland and France with her friend Amie! We thank God that she has had a good break and visited some excited places.

Skinner Street and Gillingham Park Detached sessions have been going really well with high attendance at both. The team enjoy spending time with young people and playing football with them. Please thank God for all he has done in the sessions this year so far and also pray for continued safety for all involved.

A young person at Skinner Street drop in centre has recently been asking about doing missionary work in Uganda after hearing about Peter Marchand and his recent trip there. The staff have been excited about seeing the growth in this young person and are continuing to pray for him.

Next Two Weeks:

On Friday 18th May GYFC will be celebrating 15 years of work in Gillingham. You are all welcome to come along and celebrate with us. There will be worship, guest speakers Liz Dumain and Gavin Calver and cake!!! It starts at 7.30 at Gillingham Methodist Church.

The team will be attending the Youth Work Summit on Saturday 19th May in London. This promises to be a day packed with 15 minute talks from youth workers across the country as well as time to network and worship God. Please pray that the team hears from God and for a courage to bring these fresh ideas back to Gillingham.

GYFC is a partner organisation of the Gilingham Youth Without Limits event on Saturday 26th May, 630pm at St Marks Church. With live music from MOBO award winner Guvna B, worship and guest speaker Nathan Iles from British YFC. Please pray for all the young people who will be attending, that they will hear the gospel and will be able to respond.

As you may have guessed May is a busy month for us! We will also be continuing to open 133, Skinner Street and 3rd ave drop in as well as doing detached and generally working with young people. Please pray for the team as they work hard, that they will find time to rest and relax and also manage their time effectively.
