Well there's lots to say but we will try to keep it brief. For more info you can go to the website www.routeone.org.uk
Route One in Schools
We recently took a team of 7 people from 5 different churches into Southend High School for Boys. We took lessons on the bus with year 7 on Jesus death and resurrection and also had the opportunity to have lessons with year 12 and 13 students who were allowed to ask some real life Christians any questions they wanted.
The two days we spent in the school were fantastic and we had a great time. The comments from the students and the teachers were all positive and the school have said they are very keen for us to come in again. This was a great first school visit for us, it really couldn’t have gone better and we are now keener than ever to crack on with the next event.
Bus at Hawkwell Baptist Church
We also recently went over to Hawkwell Baptist church at the end of an activities week for young people over the October half term. We went for the day and had a great time with some of the youth leaders in the morning who we trained to use the resource. They in turn became tour guides in the afternoon and showed the young people around the gospel experience. Again there was loads of positive feedback and we would even go as far as saying that for some people it was a life changing experience.
Come see the Bus
There are 4 events happening over the next few weeks leading up to Christmas and we would encourage you to get along to one of them to see the bus for yourself. We will be bringing the bus along to a Love Southend meeting on the - 10th Dec ember @ The Plaza Centre, Southchurch road 7.00pm-9.30pm This will be a great opportunity to see the resource for yourself and also find out more about plans for evangelism across the Southend area. Alternatively take a look at our website for info on the other events happening.
Please Pray
Simon our project co-ordinator is taking a step of faith in the New Year by giving up his job to focus on developing and delivering Route one full time. This will be fantastic as it will increase the capacity of the project and enable us to take more on but it is a step of faith for Simon and his family so please stand in faith with them for their needs to be met. Route One currently pays Simon a part time wage which will increase as funds allow.
Please pray for the upcoming events (see website for details) that we would be effective in connecting with and communicating with the people we meet.
Also have a think about ideas of how your church could use the resource.
Thankyou for all your support and prayers
