On a gap year with YFC, I moved to Nottingham last month and I’m loving it here. I’m based in Chilwell and Beeston and the past few weeks have been a wonderful whirlwind of new clubs, new names and new challenges!
Two days a week I work in Chilwell school helping in humanities classes and an Asdan group. It’s fantastic to just get alongside young people and (try!) to help them with their work because I get to build relationships with young people who wouldn’t be seen dead in a Christian lunch club!
We also run drop in clubs which is an entirely new concept to me having always been involved in youth groups but it’s an amazing opportunity to get alongside young people, get to know them and let them know someone cares.
One of the things that has impacted me most though is our EQ:uip event which is an evening we run once a term to equip young people for mission. Numbers weren’t sky high but I met 16, 17 year olds who were excited about Jesus and were desperate to reach their schools and colleges with the gospel. These young people are an inspiration to me and it was an absolute privilege to be apart of something that builds them up to undertake mission.
