STREETREACH

Was at the Touchdown service on Sunday past, it's a Down Presbytery youth event that moves round different churches in the area held every couple of months. Was a really encouraging service, challenging message from Gods word, and re-iterating many of the thoughts and feelings I have been having recently. The main crux of the evening focussed in on Streetreach, the follow up event of Summer Madness, and basically informed us of the its vision, and challenged the young people to get involved. It basically aims to take the love of Christ onto the streets of Belfast, enabling young people to get involved in practical servant-hearted evangelism in their local communities.
Its vision focusses on the words of Paul in Galatians 5 vs. 6 that ""The only thing that matters is faith expressed through love."
As youth leaders we meet this Wednesday night to prayerfully consider the possibilities of running a youth mission over the summer months. Something thats been on my heart recently is the whole servant-hearted approach to mission, and something along the lines of practical community service, expressing the love of Christ to the community in Boardmills through the hands and feet of our young people is I feel something to give prayerful consideration
