A few words from Kelly
The Power of the Blood
As we share stories and prayer needs this month, we do so with a deep awareness of the unshakable hope we have because of the blood of Jesus. His sacrifice is not just a moment in history—it’s the foundation of everything we do, the reason we have access to God, and the power behind every life transformed.
There is power in the blood of Jesus to redeem, to heal, to restore, and to set people free. It speaks a better word over the lives of the young people we serve—a word of forgiveness instead of shame, belonging instead of rejection, freedom instead of fear.
In response to what we’re seeing God do, we’ve begun taking communion together before heading into each outreach session. It’s a moment to pause, realign, and remember that this is His work, not ours. We are going in covered by the blood of Jesus, carrying the authority and hope that only He can bring.
As we minister in schools and on the streets, we are constantly reminded that real change doesn’t come from clever strategies or perfect plans. It comes from the presence of Jesus and the power of His blood at work in hearts and lives. That’s why your prayers are so vital—together, we are interceding for strongholds to be broken, for hope to rise, and for a generation to encounter the One who gave everything for them.
Thank you for standing with us. As you read, we invite you to pray boldly, believing in the wonder-working power of the blood.

Answered Prayer!!
We’ve been praying that young people wouldn’t just hear about Jesus, but that they would encounter Him for themselves. And God is answering in the most incredible ways.
A few weeks ago, Child C, who doesn’t come from a Christian home and has never been involved in any of our work before, approached me during lunch at school and said, “I had a dream… I saw Jesus. I need to know more.”
We spent time talking about who Jesus is and what it really means to follow Him. I gave them a Bible, and since then, they’ve been reading it every day - even sharing what they’re learning with friends over FaceTime.
Not long after, they asked if they could come to church. They came along last Sunday… and gave their life to Jesus!
God is on the move. Lives are being transformed. The power of the blood of Jesus is real and we’re beginning to see the harvest we've long been praying for.
Prayer and Fasting Day
Our next prayer and fasting day will be Monday 16th June. We will be meeting in our office at Oakwood Church at 10:30am to pray together.
Please come and join us as we contend for the Youth in our town.

Individual Prayer
Please continue to lift up "Child T" in your prayers.
We are believing for breakthrough, healing, and full salvation in their life. This young person carries incredible potential, and our prayer is that they would encounter the transforming love of God in a powerful way, one that brings freedom from past pain and ignites a bold future. We’re asking God to raise them up as a leader of light and hope within their generation.
Please also pray for "Child C"
We are overjoyed that they have recently begun their journey of faith and made a decision to follow Jesus. Please pray that strong foundations would be built in their life. That they would be rooted deeply in God’s Word and grounded in His love. Pray for protection over their heart and mind, and that they would grow in confidence, boldness, and understanding as they walk with Christ.
We’re believing that Child C will not only grow in their own faith but will become a light to those around them - courageously sharing Jesus with others and helping to ignite a move of God among their peers. May they be surrounded by love, guided by truth, and empowered by the Holy Spirit every step of the way.
Chaplaincy at Court Field
Please continue to lift Chloe in your prayers as she faithfully serves at Court Fields School. Her work with students there is making a real impact as she builds relationships, offers pastoral support, and creates safe spaces where young people can talk openly about life, faith, and their struggles. We are incredibly thankful for the doors God has opened in this school and for the favour we continue to experience through Chloe's presence and commitment.
Pyrland School
Please continue to pray for Pyrland School and the young people we’re connecting with there. Two weeks ago, I spent time over the lunch break engaging students in a listening exercise, simply asking them what kind of youth provision they felt was needed in their area. The responses we received were both powerful and heart-wrenching, highlighting just how vital our presence is and how much more is still needed.
Here’s a small selection of what the students shared:
- “We need safer spaces to be.”
- “I need someone who cares about me.”
- “I desperately need somewhere to feel safe.”
- “I need somewhere where I can feel safe from racist comments and bullying.”
- “We need more safe adults in public spaces.”
These comments reflect the reality that many young people are feeling isolated, unsafe, and unsupported in their day-to-day lives. As a team, we are deeply moved by what we've heard and are seeking God's guidance on how we can respond practically and prayerfully.
Please stand with us as we lift up the students of Pyrland School in prayer. Pray for protection, for breakthrough, and for opportunities to create meaningful, safe spaces where every young person feels seen, valued, and loved. And pray for wisdom as we discern how to best serve this community with compassion and hope.
Asylum Seekers
Please continue to pray for the asylum-seeking young people and families we have the privilege of journeying with. Doors are opening for prayer, for meaningful conversations, and for sharing the hope of Jesus in a way that is being received with openness and hunger. There is a real sense that the Holy Spirit is at work in this space. We believe this is a significant moment—an opportunity to witness Jesus, not just in words, but through love, presence, and compassion. Every conversation and every act of kindness is becoming a doorway to encounter.
Harvesters
We are actively seeking to expand our team of staff and volunteers to meet the increasing needs of the young people we serve. The work we’re called to is both spiritually significant and emotionally demanding, and we remain deeply aware of the importance of finding the right people. Those who not only carry the necessary skills, but who also carry God’s heart for this generation.
There is so much opportunity before us - doors are opening in schools, communities, and youth spaces and we know that the harvest is plentiful. What we need now are labourers who will step in with passion, humility, and a willingness to serve wherever God leads.
Please join us in praying for:
- God’s divine guidance as we connect with potential team members.
- Discernment in every conversation.
- A release of people with a calling to youth work and evangelism.
- Provision for the resources needed to sustain and support a growing team.
We believe God is building something special, and we trust that He is already stirring hearts to join us in this mission. May those He is calling respond with boldness and joy.
Outreach
Our outreach sessions remain at the heart of our mission - stepping into the very places where young people are, especially in some of Taunton’s most vulnerable and hurting communities. Whether it's in local parks, on the streets, or in buildings, we’re creating spaces where young people feel safe, seen, and truly valued.
But more than that, we are believing for divine encounters. Moments where the power of the blood of Jesus breaks through darkness, pain, and hopelessness. These sessions aren’t just about presence or support - they’re about carrying the life-changing message of the cross into places that desperately need it. We’ve seen hearts soften, eyes fill with tears, and young people ask the big questions about faith, purpose, and identity.
Please continue to pray with us, that every outreach would be covered in God’s presence, that chains would be broken, and that lives would be marked by the redeeming, restoring power of Jesus’ blood.
We believe nothing is too hard for Him!
