It was both humbling and encouraging to spend two hours with sixth formers exploring the Mafia, evil, materialism, eastern religions and the Christian faith in Doncaster yesterday. When you tackle ‘hot’ topics like evil and unseen powers of darkness it is vital to pray and fast and I’d just like to thank anyone who prayed for me yesterday. I really felt the prayer as I spoke – it was fantastic to see seeds being sown in young lives. Yesterday convinced me how important it is to integrate Christian storytelling with seeking God (Isaiah 55:6) in prayer and worship.
There is such a need to bring Christian storytelling into our schools and universities. Please contact me if you have any ideas or suggestions!
