Youth Centre

Over the past several months, we have prayed over a vision that God has set before us. As we've experienced teen life and culture in London, we have found that there is a daunting lack of safe space for teenagers' informal development. One of the most blatant examples exists in Southall. You've heard us talk about Southall before. Now we look to take the next step.

While our Texas interns were with us, we spent a week praying on site at an empty garage that we believe God desires to develop into a youth centre. During our times of prayer, we met an employee from a meet shop across the road. We had been praying that God would help us find out who owned the garage. This employee told us who owns it and what it is used for. Remarkably enough, we had prayed that this wouldn't be an initiative of our own (from the outside in) but that we would be a catalyst for a youth centre developed by the community. As a businessman, the owner of the garage would potentially be a respected man in this community. We are now praying that he will catch the vision, donate the space, and connect other parts of the community with the development of this centre.

Please be in bold prayer that God will direct our steps, open the doors for this youth centre, develop partnerships within the community, and provide opportunities for us to walk alongside of teenagers in Southall.
