Young people, and youth workers of all Christian traditions need an inclusive, creative space in which to explore and strengthen their faith. We’re trying to make that happen.
The opportunity to transform people’s lives is huge. We’ve been given an incredible, historic convent in rural Norfolk, which has been home to Christian community, prayer and service for more than 150 years, in order to reimagine the work there among young people. We’re creating a space to pray with and for young people.
We’re going to do this in three ways:
- WITH: Community, a body of Christians living on site and beyond, dedicated to a rule of life and prayer, with a shared commitment to serving young people.
- WITH: Retreat. A retreat centre facilitated by the community, where young people, and those who work with them, will come for single and multi-day retreats to receive spiritual nourishment, explore their relationship with God in engaging and creative ways, and improve their physical and mental wellbeing, learning new skills and reclaiming old ones that will enable them continue in their life of faith for years to come.
- WITH: Online. An online reflection of the rule of life in the form of an app, which will connect the physical With Community with a wider digital community, enabling those who have been on retreats or aren’t able to be present at the site to follow the With prayer rhythms remotely.
We need your time, your money and your prayer. Find out more about the vision, and how you can get involved here.
