Almost a decade later!

Hi folks – Tim here. 9 years and 18 days ago, my wife Katie and I left South London and moved here to Llandudno. 9 years and 12 days ago I started working for Youth for Christ.

What. A. Journey.

9 years. That’s 27 Christmas Parties, 360 Redefines, 360 Recesses, 540 Reverbs, 600+ one-to-ones, over 120 training sessions, 120 LiteBites with St. David’s, over 200 assemblies, 200 church visits, 54 God Games and Goats, 8 Refreshes, 8 National Conferences, 7 RE Conferences, 7 Soul Survivor trips, and literally – thousands – of young people. All together nearly 1500 individual events and projects.

That’s almost 1500 times we have spoken the gospel to young people. And this doesn’t include the projects or one-to-ones that now run completely without me like Recess at Ysgol Aberconwy, and Shuffle and Shake in Colwyn Bay.

1500 gospel opportunities. 1500 times we have told young people about Jesus.

We are always telling young people about Jesus. Constantly and consistently. Why? Because that’s why we exist! We’re about young people being changed by Jesus. That’s why we wake up in the morning, so more young people can meet with Jesus.

We believe there is nothing better in the world than knowing God through Jesus, and that there is no greater gift than helping a young person connect with Him for the first time. We love what we do – I certainly do!

So, thank you everybody!

Thank you so much for your support. It’s not always been an easy journey (we’ve had to move house 7 times!), but we’ve always felt welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for including us in your community and helping us feel at home.

More than anything though – thank you for helping me live out my calling every day, to tell young people about Jesus.

Thanks! 😀
