Pad-B St Oswald's Way Walk

Jesus changes lives. He can set us free from drug or alcohol dependency, or mental health issues.

PAD-B (Push A Different Button) is an initiative to help people do things differently in order to get a better result in life. It sets out to help people from chaotic backgrounds to recover and then go on to mentor/support others who struggle with similar problems. PAD-B offers a compassionate personal approach to recovery from drug or alcohol dependency and mental health issues.

From Tuesday 9th July to Saturday 13th July a group from PAD-B will be trekking 97 miles through the Northumbrian countryside and coastline, tackling the St Oswald’s Way Walk, to raise money for the group’s work.

Their aim is to raise as much money as they can to enable PAD-B to continue the valuable and much needed work in supporting those struggling with drug, alcohol and certain mental health issues.

If you are able to support through sponsorship this would be very much appreciated - please click this link. Alternatively those doing the walk have a sponsor form.

Rachel to Australia, Scarlett to Albania!

Rachel Lawrence and Scarlett Payne are fundraising for mission trips to Australia and Albania in 2019.

Over the next few Sundays, they will be giving out Real Advent Calendars for supporters who wish to have fun swapping chocolates for coins, and running a church Secret Santa which gives the opportunity to bless and be blessed this Christmas (sign-up is £1). 

Rachel 

Rachel is joining Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Australia in January and will complete their Discipleship Training School (DTS). It is an amazing opportunity to explore her identity in Christ and serve others, no doubt including using her passion for musical worship.

Scarlett

Scarlett has just returned from Madagascar and God’s provision has given her the faith and confirmation she was seeking to take part in the 2-week New Frontiers intern mission trip to Albania next June. Past missions have included children’s and youth work and street outreach.

They’d both love your support, prayer or financial, to help them get to their destinations and make a difference! A big thank you to those who have already encouraged their journeys.

South Africa mission trip

Our wonderful Frontier Project interns, Dan, Susie and Luke, are leading a student mission trip to South Africa and Lesotho this summer.

You can find out more about what they'll be doing here.

To make it happen, they need to raise £2,600. Donations are welcome, and they are also offering their services, for cleaning, gardening, car wishing - all reasonable requests considered! - in return for a gift.
