Outreach
Last week there was a serious incident - a stabbing - in one of the areas we regularly work in. Although this didn’t happen on one of our outreach nights, it involved young people we know, and it has understandably shaken the community.
As we head out this month, our heart is to help young people feel safe, supported, and listened to. We would really value your prayers as we step into these spaces again. Prayers for peace in the area, for protection over the young people and the team, and for calm, positive interactions.
Please also pray for wisdom and the right opportunities to talk with and educate young people about the dangers of knife crime. We are currently looking into how we can provide regular support for young people in this area.
Asylum Seekers
This month we’ve had the joy of meeting new young people within our asylum seeker community, and it’s been encouraging to see new connections forming. Many still face deep uncertainty as policies shift and local responses vary, so we invite you to hold them in prayer.
As we enter Advent and Christmas, we’re especially grateful for the natural gospel opportunities this season brings. Beautiful moments to share Jesus with those of other faiths in a gentle, genuine way. Please pray that our relationships would deepen, that we would show God’s love with wisdom and compassion, and that Jesus would be magnified in every interaction.
Phase 2 - Youth Hub
This month has brought some encouraging conversations, even as we remain on hold waiting for building regulations to progress — a stage completely outside our control.
Our greatest hurdle in this next season is going to be finance, but at its core this isn’t simply about funding a building — it’s about partnering with a young person and creating a space where lives can be transformed by the love of Jesus.
If you feel able to give toward this next step, we would be truly grateful. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps create a place where young people can find hope, belonging, and the chance to encounter Jesus for themselves.
Thank you for standing with us, believing with us, and investing in the next generation.
School Chaplains
As you may know, Chloe serves full-time as a School Chaplain at Court Field School. Her work there has been a wonderful example of the impact a chaplain can have, supporting young people, building relationships, and sharing Jesus in a school setting.
We are now exploring the possibility of what it would look like to have a chaplain in schools across Taunton. We are excited by the potential to see a chaplain in every school, providing care, guidance, and gospel-centred support. This is very much still in seed form but some schools are already communicating that they would welcome this, and we are seeking God’s wisdom and favour as we pursue these opportunities.
Please pray for open doors, strong relationships, and for God to guide each step as this vision develops.
Christmas
As December approaches, our hearts and diaries are filling with opportunities to connect with young people through a variety of Christmas events. This season is a wonderful chance to share the love of Jesus, bring hope, and create spaces where He can be encountered.
We always give gifts to every young person we meet and we will continue to do this again this year, as many come from homes facing deep poverty, so even a small gift can mean a great deal. Our aim is to love them abundantly and show in a tangible way just how much God loves them.
We also know this can be the hardest time of year for some. Please pray for protection over the young people, that they would feel safe, cared for, and surrounded by God’s peace. Pray too for wisdom, energy, and open hearts as we share Jesus in every encounter.
