“I personally had many comments from people attending both sessions as to how much they had enjoyed your presentations, making them feel so much more positive about themselves or how to move forward in their lives.”

What a lovely message to receive from Judith as we travelled home from Rothley yesterday afternoon!

Friday night involved fish and chips, Prosecco, hot chocolate, baby cuddles, friends old and new, and our talk about parenting from Godzilla to Mary Poppins - it was a fun Mums’ Night Out.

Saturday’s event was entitled ‘Fun, Food, Friends, and Faith’ and it certainly provided all four elements! We were delighted to be asked to participate in a women’s breakfast, planned by several women who attended our weekend away earlier this year. They were inspired to bring a taste of Activate home with them and set about planning a weekend to accommodate our message about making, developing, and keeping friends and building bridges into the local community.

We were moved and encouraged by Wendy, who shared how God spoke to her during the morning devotions at our weekend away earlier this year. Since then, she has stepped out of her comfort zone and found ways to reach and encourage others. She has surprised her introvert self at how far she’s come!

We shared several of Fiona and Mandy’s devotions from our Be book and ate the most delicious pastries and strawberries… there was even Bucks Fizz!

It means the world to hear of the impact Activate events have had and, with your help and ingenuity, will continue to have long into the future. Please continue to pray for us and, if you feel you are able to support us in prayer, or financially, please get in touch.
