Introducing...

From left to Right – Top Row:Dan Pearce, Sam Harwood, Niall Anderson, Ian Tilley (Leading), Anna Harwood, Sarah Commans, Dani Carew, Emily Ford, David Coxon, Peter Keane.
Bottom Row: Chas Cerveny, Sophie Wellbelove (Leading)





We would value your prayers and support as we start our journey this year as a team.  We are really looking forward to what this year brings for the team. 

We are both helping to serve at Lark in The Park - Woking (www.larkinthepark.com).  Which is a new initiative in our area to love our community generously.  Running kids clubs and helping with every job going that there is to help with is our aim! This leg of our mission is to learn to serve those around us within our community and learn what it means to be available for God to use us in whatever circumstance.  Part of our Re:Route/Root Vision is that we would be a community of young people with hearts for mission, that spur us into action. We want to be activists for God's kingdom, making a difference by His grace in every situation and Lark In The Park is part of that journey! Our vision for this part of our mission is to serve no matter what the context, to love others as Jesus loves us, and to do it all without moaning or grumbling, to do it all for Jesus.


The second leg of our mission this year is overseas, volunteering at Bethesda Life Centre (www.blcgoa.com) run by Martin & Beena Philip. A home for children who are orphaned, children of sex workers or children of those affected by HIV.  The children are cared for by BLC,  where they are given food, love, a home, education and a future.  Our main tasks will be to decorate, do practical duties around the home such as washing clothes and cleaning, and also helping as teaching assistants for the younger students in Rising Star School (also run by BLC for children who struggle with mainstream education.) We want to spend time with the kids, learning to love them, care for them & learning from them what it means to have joy in all things.  

Our vision for this mission is to serve BLC & Martin & Beena in the best way we can.  Our goal is to encourage those we encounter to root themselves in God and seek to connect with Jesus' direction for their lives as we meet them on their journeys with the Fathers love for the lost & the least. 

Please join us in praying for this adventure.
