As you may already know, the Free Churches Group have been shaping how we can support churches to engage more effectively with further education. One of the organisations we are developing working links with is Festive.
Festive are a Christian organisation who support and engage students, chaplains and staff in further education across the UK. They have much to celebrate! Their recent Annual Report includes testimonies, news and success stories. You can read it HERE. At Free Churches Group, we will continue to pray for the work of Festive and look forward to strengthening our links and alliance with them.
Perhaps you would like to share this prayer in your church in the coming weeks, which was written by the Education Assistant, Sara Iles, at FCG, and includes praying for colleges and student life...
You can support Festive in a number of ways - through prayer, volunteering and giving...
Festive say: "We believe that the best people to reach students are students! We long to see a generation of Christ’s ambassadors living out the Gospel where they study. That’s why we’re all about:
Inspiring students that Jesus is the best news this world has to offer, letting His beauty transform their hearts so that they can look…
Seeking God in prayer, asking for His help and power to go…
Sharing the life transforming message of Christ with their friends through their words and actions!"
Festive's MISSION IS:
to inspire and support Christians in Further Education Colleges and Sixth Forms to live for Jesus and to equip them as they share their faith through their words and actions.
Festive's VISION IS:
to see an ongoing vibrant witness of Jesus in every FE College and Sixth Form in the UK.
