“Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”Then he took the children in his arms and placed his hands on their heads and blessed them.

Mark 10:14-16

IT'S FOR THEM TOO

Have you heard of the 4 - 14 Window?

This is the age range where 84% of people make a decision to begin following Jesus according to surveys conducted by The International Bible Society.

They are open minded, curious and ripe for an adventure - no wonder Jesus rebuked His disciples who tried to prevent children from 'running to get a piece of Him.'

The Kingdom of God belongs to them as well and as Jesus states, we can learn from them and should approach Him likewise. How are you doing with that? Are you still in awe of Him and desperate for His affection or have the ways of the 'adult world' dulled down such child-like faith?
Why not approach Him afresh today and surely He will 'take you to into His arms and bless you.'

Thank you so much for your ongoing prayer and financial support - we are in the middle of our Summer Sports Camps season here in the UK and below you will reach some brief highlights of God at work amongst young people here and in different parts of our international partnering network.

Stand strong!

WHAT A HUNDRED!

'R' has often found social interaction difficult, but then he found cricket through two of our coaches in his school and then duly followed them to 'Cricket Camp.'

Over the past 2 years we have journey with 'R' and witnessed him grow as a player and as a person because we care about 'his game, but we care more about him.
In this past week, we have seen 'R' begin to blossom into a more confident boy, a terrific young cricketer and now as a child of God as he fully committed to following Jesus.

'R' amazingly scored his first ever 100 as a batter this week and even more importantly, was one of one hundred young people who have decided to begin following the 'Master Coach' with two camps still to go.
Please pray.

Glory to God!

VISION WITHOUT SIGHT

Meet Karisto from Kenya. At aged 18 he lost his sight and thought he had lost 'his world' until Jesus and His people intervened. He now serves as a coach, mentor and co-ordinator of our Kenyan partner 'New Hope Sports' All-Ability programme which works with many young people with impairments.

Recently the team staged 'CAMP HOPE,' engaging 30 precious blind and visually impaired children for 3 days of sport, life and Bible discovery.

Karisto says:
"We are often isolated, neglected, and underestimated by society. In this environment, it becomes easy to lose hope, to feel like our lives have lost meaning, and to believe the false notion that we can no longer contribute positively. But the truth is far from that.
Disability does not mean inability. I am proud of the work I do in Kenya and pray for greater opportunities globally to share this message: 'We are not broken; we are gifted differently.'

Such a perspective is proof of how God changed Karisto''s life and that is now being passed on to many other young boys and girls.

Thank you Lord.

Could you help us help more people like Karisto?

GAMES, GAMES, GAMES!

KIDS GAMES is a global phenomenon that engages children in communities and share the love for them of our Father in Heaven.

In Burundi, teams in two separate areas at different times staged projects with one residential Games blessing 512 children and witnessing 324 of them choose to begin following Jesus.

The other multi-church connecting Kids Games impacted 400 young people and saw 250 precious souls say 'yes to Jesus' with 80 of them now attending church regularly.

Praise God!
