✨ Honouring Bernie & Cathy Gillott ✨

What a blessing it was to have Bernie with us at Teen Challenge London last week. I was truly honoured to receive a call from him and Zac from Global Teen Challenge in Mexico — a reminder of how connected we are as one family across the nations.

Bernie and Cathy have carried the message of hope around the world for decades. Their faithfulness reminds me that even when we feel unseen, God sees us. He equips us, He comes for us, and He sets us on the path He intended.

I’m so grateful for their lives and ministry. 🙏💛

✨ Encouragement from today ✨
We were blessed as Dave Tarr shared on Mary and Martha — reminding us not to let worry and busyness steal the better part. Let’s take time to sit at Jesus’ feet and draw close to Him.

David Crabb shares from the heart about his work at Drayton Hall Teen Challenge, reflecting on his journey with the ministry and the joy he finds in it. He speaks especially about the monthly worship nights at Drayton Hall, where men are encouraged to express themselves in meaningful ways—through poetry, singing, or whatever form of creativity helps them in their healing. These evenings have become a beautiful space for growth, restoration, and connection.

🎓 A Monumental Day at Teen Challenge London 🎓

Today we celebrated the graduation of Simeon Coole, Danny Thompson, John Adair, Jonathan Burton, Rayne Black, Karl Power, Raj Pirasannath, James Blackmore and James Riley. The day was full of laughter, tears, and moments that will stay with us forever.

Bernie Gillott from Global Teen Challenge gave a word that was funny, moving, and powerful all at once. He spoke alongside Javier Lesta Candal, Steve Derbyshire, and Pastor Harold Afflu. It reminded us of the hope, strength, and transformation that’s possible through faith in Christ.

I can’t wait to see the other guys on the program come through next year — the journey keeps going! 💛🙏
