What a joy serving at Rising Lights in Torquay this week! Kids (3–18) looking at Philippians and the glory of the Lord Jesus together. What an encouragement to see teenagers hungry for the Bible, eager to praise Jesus as King and keen to encourage one another. 🙏

[Growing Young Disciples @GYDisciples]

We’re so excited to be at Rising Lights this week, leading the youth and children's work with an amazing team of volunteers! ✨

If you’re around, come find us and say hello, we’d love to meet you. 🙌

This Good Friday, we reflect on Jesus’ great sacrifice for us. We pray you know the blessings of the gospel—sins forgiven and the hope of eternal life through the cross this Easter.

The GYD Academy Fellowship had a great evening with Dr Ellie Paley (live from Tel Aviv) exploring Job and what it means for discipling young people amid suffering and hard questions. A needed reminder: no easy answers but a bigger vision of the Lord who speaks from the whirlwind.
