CYO Team (Tim, Tom and Steve) explained about their work in Colchester schools.
The purpose of CYO is to take the message of Jesus to young people especially into schools.
Tom shared his personal testimony about his addiction to alcohol, his journey to faith and his real struggles as a Christian. He said that even today he is so close to going back to his drinking habit and it is an inner battle within him.
Steve thanked those who have been supporting CYO financially and encouraged the church to give to the work so that more young people can meet Jesus in their schools.
Tim shared from 2 Corinthians 4:1-7. Some of his key points were
- A Sense of Calling by God to this work
- We wear no mask in the work with others and be real
- Making God's Word relevant
- For many young people the message of the Bible is not obscure and CYO work in bringing Jesus to the young people through real life stories rather than just information
- It is a privilege to carry God's message to young people
Prayer points
Pray for a possible Prayer room in various schools
Pray for the finances of CYO to be able to employ more staff
