Schools ministry
The schools work has took o in a fantasHc way over the past couple of
months. So rst of all, a big thank you to those who keep W-YFC in your
prayers.
An opportunity arose for us as YFC to join up with TLG, The educaHon
charity, and members from All NaHons ChrisHan
Centre and InternaHonal Life Centre, to provide Early
IntervenHon coaching with students at The Kings
Church of England school based on Regis Road in
Wolverhampton. AUer doing training with TLG, we
began coaching four students for an hour a week.
Each of the students have dierent reasons why they
had been selected by the school to be coached. With
issues varying from aggressive, violent behaviour and language barriers to
those with poor a<endance and lack of concentraHon. The aim of the
coaching is to help the students gain important life skills and help them to
conHnue their educaHon. The resources given by TLG have been
instrumental in providing excellent quality sessions with the students.
A meeHng was held with St. Peter's Collegiate School.
The head of R.E. was very pleased at what we could
oer parHcularly in the area of charity work within
schools. He arranged a meeHng with a board of sta, in
which we put forward a presentaHon of what we would
do in creaHng a student led charity commi<ee and
creaHng reecHve artwork called 'An Easter Journey'. The artwork loosely
followed the staHons of the cross and put forward quesHons and reecHons
on the emoHons Christ would have experienced leading up to the
crucixion and aUer His resurrecHon along with some personal quotes from
students who had experienced things such as betrayal and being accused.
The artwork was put up on plasma screens all around the school and a
response sheet was created for students to explore further with more
scripture and topics to discuss.
A YFC Rock Solid lunchHme
group has been created in
Wedneseld High School.
This has been provided
parHcularly for students who the sta have idenHed as vulnerable or in
need of support. The group is relaxed with fun games, acHviHes and
discussion as well as being somewhere these students
can feel safe and talk about issues they may be facing.
Please conHnue to pray for the work in schools. They
are eecHve and a blessing to us.
