God's work is taking us places

Posted on Wednesday, Sep 11, 2019

Jesus said “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone." Mark 16:15

So far this year we have worked with churches in Wales, Leeds, Norton, Stockton and Middlesbrough, reaching the lost with the Good News of Jesus, and supporting young believers as they follow him.

One of the ways we do this is through Park Kidz, Over the last few years this has been a great opportunity the take the Good News to Children of all ages and their families. A lot of our team are young so we run training sessions to help get them ready. If Park Kidz is something you would be interested in starting on a park near you please get in touch.

Just around the corner

Some volunteers from Jubilee Church Teesside came and joined us on Park Kidz this year, It was great to have some people who brought a lot of experience from year of kids work in another part of Middlesbrough.

These volunteers asked us to get involved with their "picnic church" event on Eshwood Square (an estate literally a minutes walk from Cannon Park) , this was an evangelistic event they were running with Hope Foundation (another christian charity) . We were asked to teach the children.

3rd year in a row

It was great to be invited to run sessions for ages 0-17 at the F.I.E.C Northern churches family day in Otley for the 3rd year in a row. It has been really good seeing the same children coming back year after year. This year volunteers joined us from Middlesbrough, Leeds and Birmingham.

Back to School in the holidays? ? ?

Having helped us on Park Kidz in 2018, and Easter Special this year Lydia Gurney (childrens Pastor) at Stockton Baptist Church decided to run an event at Mill Lane Primary School for a week at the end of August. It was super exciting to get asked to be involved, with teaching Gods word and leading games with this gifted team of volunteers from Stockton Churches.

We had between 12-20 children each day, many of which had never hear the gospel.

Wonderful time in Wales at the WECF conference

Being asked to work with the families of delegates at the World Evangelical Congregational Fellowship was a real privilege. We ran activities for all children on the mornings, and teen talks on the evenings. Obviously the teen talks should have been for teenagers but we actually had ages 8-12 . . . they enjoyed having an older group on the evening.

This bit was the highlight for me anyway . . .
Most of the week I was really unwell, I would stagger to the front in the main meeting feeling dizzy and unable to walk in a straight line.
Then we would take the children out to teach them on their own. One day I sent the children ahead with a volunteer while I went to be sick in a toilet we were passing. When I re-joined them the children had all decided to have a prayer time for me because I wasn't well.


So wonderful to see these kids trusting Jesus to help me, I pray their faith grows as they grow.

A First for Christ Church Mission

Posted on Wednesday, Sep 11, 2019

It was a real privilege to have volunteers from Christ Church Mission join with us at our Holiday Specials this year. But even more exciting than that was being asked to help them plan and run their first ever one day "Summer Special" this church as supported us in many ways so it was a joy to support them in this way. Everything ran very well, we took a small team and everyone worked very well together. We look forward to seeing What opportunities God brings out of this, and future Holiday Specials in Norton.

Feeding kids with ham sandwiches and Gods word

Posted on Wednesday, Sep 11, 2019

During half term holiday's many families struggle to provide children with regular meals. Again this year "Feast of Fun" helped us provide healthy food for ages 4-11, we were joined by volunteers from, Stockton Baptist Church, Christ Church Mission, Guisborough Evangelical Church and Cannon Park Church, as several people with no church connections that came to help with provision and preparation of the food. We ran interactive bible talks and discussion groups for each age. Lots of great questions were asked.

Please pray as we prepare for the October Half Term Special.

Park Kidz

Posted on Sunday, May 05, 2019

Last year we ran Park kids on 3 parks in central Middlesbrough with volunteers from, Guisborough, Newton Aycliffe, Stockton Baptist Church and Cannon Park,
As a result of joining us for Park Kidz last year Stockton Baptist Church are starting park outreach near Mill Lane Primary school at the end of August.
And Graham Wray from Christ Church in Leeds has asked us to run training for Park outreach for churches in their area.

Half term Specials

Posted on Sunday, May 05, 2019

Half term and Easter specials have gone well with volunteers from Christ Church Mission, Stockton Baptist Church, Guisborough, the Eritrean church and Cannon Park.
Over 90 different children attended through the 2 weeks, with around 60 coming each day.

Our monthly prayer meetings are usually held on the 2nd Monday each month from 7:45pm-9:00pm at Christ Church Mission in Norton.

Having helped at Easter and Half term Specials Christ Church Mission have asked us to help run a 1 day summer special at the start of August.

Half term Special was a great success

Posted on Wednesday, Feb 27, 2019

Thank you to everyone who got involved in our Half term event. Over 80 children aged 4-11 were fed and taught about Jesus by a great team of volunteers from 5 Churches in the Middlesbrough area. It was a great encouragement to see a lot of new faces.
