Graduation and Olympic Activities

After 12 intense weeks, on the 6th of July, the School of Design had their final exhibition to show off all their hard work, graduated, and the SoD came to a close.

Both Robyn and Simeon will be joining us this summer as volunteers to help out with the Olympics.

2 weeks of 'The School of the Circuit Rider' has just finished. My Fiancé, Phil, was a participant along with the Discipleship Training School (DTS) he is currently staffing.
This is what he had to say about it:

"This was a two-week course aimed at greater freedom in Christ and intentional evangelism (www.ywamharpenden.org/training/circuitriders). We had about 200 people join us here in Harpenden for this, which was pretty intense. We spent time in worship and intercession everyday, as well as receiving teaching focusing on our relationship and identity in Christ. We also went into Harpenden, Luton and St Albans to offer prayer and talk to people about God and life.

I really enjoyed the two weeks and felt like I gained a much better understanding of what my faith means to me and why I do what I do. We had a really great time, and were challenged a lot in whom we are.

Our times out in the different towns were also amazing. I got to have a number of really good conversations with people about what it means to live a life after Jesus, and to pray for a number of people. I am not sure that the area really knows what hit it, with over 200 young people dividing between the three locations and sharing the love of Christ in each different place over the two weeks. God was amazing over the time and we ended up seeing over 70 healings (from sprained ankles, to a lady who was partially sighted getting full sight back). We also had 129 people invite Christ to be their saviour over the two weeks.

I am sure it will be one of those times that I remember, and I know it has helped to give me a push into more of seeing God’s kingdom come."

What a great way to start off the summer of the Olympics! I hope you are as encouraged by that as I am!

Here are some photos of how our campus has/is changing to accommodate the 600+ people expected for these 8 weeks of the summer!

Signs my team and I have made so that everyone knows where they're going!
