Outreach
Outreach over the past month has been particularly challenging. We have faced situations that have required us to make some difficult decisions in order to maintain a consistent presence in some of the darkest places we are called to serve. These decisions have not been made lightly. We care deeply about the young people, families, and communities we walk alongside, and we long to honour them in everything we do.
At times, it has felt like we are trying to break through hard soil—pressing in, sowing faithfully, yet not always seeing immediate fruit. We recognise that this is often part of the process, but it can be stretching and requires perseverance.
In the midst of this, our longing remains the same: that young people would encounter Jesus for themselves and come to accept His love and truth. Everything we do flows from this desire.
We also sense the Lord calling us clearly in this season—to “put on the full armour of God… and after you have done everything, to stand” (Ephesians 6:13). Standing firm has not always been easy; it has meant pressing through discomfort, navigating tension, and choosing obedience even when it is painful. Yet we know this is part of pushing back darkness and making space for God’s light to break through.
Please pray for us in this. Pray for breakthrough in the hard soil—that seeds sown would take root and grow. Pray for wisdom as we make decisions, for grace and sensitivity in how we engage with families and communities, and for courage to stand firm where God has placed us. Pray that we would be fully equipped with the armour of God—protected, united, and unwavering. And above all, pray that in every situation, Jesus would be lifted high. This is not about us, but about Him, and we are trusting that even in the challenge, He is at work bringing transformation.
Volunteers
Please pray for more volunteers to join the team. God is moving, and we need faithful, compassionate people who are ready to step in, build relationships, and point young people to Jesus.
If you feel stirred to be part of this, we’d love to hear from you—please get in touch.
Asylum Seekers
We’ve had the privilege of building real relationships with several families and young people through our asylum seeker outreach—many of whom are now facing the reality of moving on in the coming weeks.
For many, this means being uprooted from the only community they’ve known here. A place of safety, friendship, and belonging. It’s a difficult and uncertain transition.
Please pray for them as they go. That they would settle well, find new communities and schools quickly, and that the seeds of Jesus that have been gently sown, would start to take root.
Easter Holidays
The Easter holidays can be a particularly challenging time for many young people. With the loss of routine, structure, and regular access to school-based support, things can quickly feel unsettled and overwhelming. For some, this also means increased isolation or time spent in difficult home environments. Please pray for the young people we are connected with—that they would experience peace, stability, and protection over these weeks. Pray that even in the disruption, they would encounter Jesus in real and personal ways, and that we would have opportunities to stay connected and be a consistent source of support and care.
School Chaplaincy
Thank you for praying with us for our recent meeting with church leaders as we explore chaplaincy in schools across Taunton. We had a really encouraging time together and are feeling hopeful as we move forward—with the right people beginning to gather around this vision.
Please continue to pray for open doors, clear direction, and strong partnerships. Our heart is to see Jesus made known in our schools and young people supported and discipled well. We believe God is building something significant for His glory across our town.
Court Field School
Please continue to lift Chloe up in prayer as she serves full-time as chaplain at Court Fields. As she heads into the Easter break, pray that she would be deeply refreshed, restored, and strengthened—ready to step back in and battle, clothed in the full armour of God.
Hold her in your prayers as she spiritually contends for Court Fields—that she would walk in authority, wisdom, and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit as she supports both students and staff.
