Testify to God's work

We’ve been trying some different approaches with re-launching our Christian Explore lunchtime group in Katherine Warington School.

In an exciting moment before half term, the group conversation was unfolding as we discussed some of the potential discrepancies between Science and Faith. One of our work experience students asked a younger participant:

“What caused you to become a Christian when all of your family are atheists?”

The young person took a deep breath, I think she momentarily considered the depth of what she was about to share, and the cost of sharing it with relatively new acquaintances and then proceeded to tell us her heartfelt testimony of how God had broken through into her life at a point when she needed him the most.

It was amazing and wonderful to hear, not just a sincere reminder of the faithfulness and power of our God, but a young person put into words in front of a handful of their peers, just what the Lord’s work had meant to them and how much it has changed their life.

Our work experience student was stunned at the honesty and eloquence of the words and noted how just one question had led to this. They’d seized the moment to do something a youth leader typically would, and seen the powerful results.
