STEYNING SCHOOLS WEEK Dear lovely supporters, What a month this has been. Straight off the back of ILLUMINATE Bristol, LZ7 and Saintz embarked on our ILLUMINATE Steyning week!3 days in school plus 3 gigs, and the response has been incredible. Have a watch here:
TESTIMONIES Neill Stannard, school chaplain for Steyning Grammar school, sent us this:*'Yes, it was great to see you. It’s been such a privilege to see you in action and to see the anointing on your ministry. Such a great week.* *✅ upwards of 350 gave their lives to Jesus* *✅ many, many more impacted - both students and staff through your lessons, gigs, and also prayer zones and encounter teams* *✅ so many stories of staff and students being healed, having dreams, reading bibles* *✅ the school behaviour leads said there was a transformation throughout the week across all sites* *✅ Senior management have said they’ve never seen anything like it in decades of teaching* *✅ non-church parents attending Church@5* *✅ Youth Alpha programme starting today!* *✅ local community buzzing that churches are working together and are actually making an impact All glory to Jesus! 🔥🕊'* Lindz went back on Sunday to kick start a new service called 'Church@5' in Steyning Grammar - the same hall LZ7 & Saintz delivered the gigs in. What a moment to invite all the young people that responded to the Gospel back to a service built for them in their school! The headteacher sent this to all the parents during the week: 'I have never seen such engagement, happiness and positive energy in my 20+ years of working with Secondary School students other than seeing every year group and the way they connected and interacted with the words and music of band LZ7 in our assembly halls on each site.' Add this to these precious young people's stories and you can see the impact of the ILLUMINATE tour! *'I was so inspired by your stories and faith! I will be there on Sunday at 5! Thanks for coming to our school!'* You can see below 250 students & parents showing up for the launch of Sunday @ 5. What a miracle!
CAN YOU SUPPORT US? Every ILLUMINATE tour sees us in front of 5,000 young people across a schools week, this costs on average £3 per young person. That's 1000 young people each day who are hearing a message of hope. We are seeing huge numbers turning their back on self-harm, bullying, suicide, realising they have purpose and a reason to be here, giving their life to Jesus. Can you help fund our ILLUMINATE schools tour in more towns and cities across the UK? Could this be a moment in time where we see a tipping point in our nation's young people finding Jesus?
