September Start
September marks the start of a new academic year, and with it comes both excitement and challenge for young people across Taunton. For some, it is a fresh beginning filled with opportunity. For others, it means stepping back into environments where they feel rejection, anxiety and fear. These young people desperately need encouragement and the hope of Jesus, so please pray that this term, they would be marked by Him.
Chloe at Court Field's
Please lift up Chloe as she begins a new school year as chaplain at Court Field School. For God’s favour to go before her, continuing to open doors to build meaningful relationships with students and staff. For His grace to sustain her through busy days, challenging conversations, and moments requiring patience and discernment. That she would be filled with wisdom, compassion, and courage to speak life and hope into every situation and that her presence would be a source of encouragement. We are believing for great things this year.
Bibles
Over the summer, we have been able to hand out another wave of Bibles to young people. We are believing that the seed of God’s Word will take root in their lives and bear lasting fruit. As Isaiah 55 reminds us, His Word will not return void but will accomplish what He desires and achieve the purpose for which He sent it. We thank God for this incredible opportunity to place His Word into young hands and pray that it transforms hearts and lives for His glory.
Youth Violence
Youth violence remains a pressing challenge in our community, and we witness first hand how quickly tensions can escalate and become violent, leaving many young people crippled with fear of one another and unsure how to navigate relationships. Please pray for God’s protection over our young people, asking Him to break cycles of generational anger, fear, and conflict. Lift up their hearts, believing that they will encounter hope, learn healthy ways to manage conflict, and discover their true value and purpose in Jesus.
Phase 2 - Youth Hub
As we move forward with Phase 2 - our Youth Hub - we are stepping into a new season of growth and opportunity. Phase 2 will continue alongside Phase 1, our Outreach work, but phase 2 is about creating a home, a hub, a safe space where young people can be nurtured, discipled, and equipped with life skills that could transform their futures. This is not a youth club; this is an essential space to be family—a place where young people can experience love, guidance and stability as they grow into healthy, independent adults.
We would greatly value your prayers for God’s provision during this exciting season. Specifically, please pray:
-
For financial provision: Pray that the necessary funds will come in to support this next stage of development.
-
For favour with funding applications: Pray that every grant, donation, and application would be met with divine favour and wisdom in its preparation.
-
For opportunities for miraculous provision: Pray that God would open doors that we might not even have imagined, providing resources in unexpected and supernatural ways.
If you feel moved to support this next phase financially, please do get in touch or donate via our website. Every gift, prayer, and act of support helps us bring hope and opportunity to the young people in our community.
We trust that God, who has brought us this far, will continue to guide and provide for every step of this journey. Thank you for standing with us in this.
