Please check back soon as more stories will be added throughout the Connexional Year.
Kayleigh
– MOVILLA ABBEY CHURCH
Kayleigh first reached out to Movilla Abbey Church through Facebook and is now a youth leader there. Once an angry teenager, she is now full of air and lightness, and speaks confidently about her relationship with Jesus.
paul
– EAST BELFAST MISSION
After an overdose in February, Paul found support through East Belfast Mission. Now a volunteer with the Community Fridge, he no longer wakens up angry. He knows that Jesus is with him and he is ready to help others.
ANGIE

Angie, Director of Open Schools WorldWide, describes how their literacy and numeracy programme transforms lives by helping children gain basic education whilst also discovering that Jesus loves them. World Development & Relief supports this partner's work in Ghana, Zambia, and South Africa.
BRENDA
– Tullamore METHODIST CHURCH
Brenda was invited by a friend to her local Methodist Church. She attended a service where the minister asked, “What would you like the Lord to do for you?” She prayed, “Lord, I just need you to heal me.” Now well and filled with hope, she begins each day asking, “What do you have for me today, Lord?”
PAUL
– BRAY METHODIST CHURCH
Paul attended church out of respect for his wife's family, laughing behind the scenes at those who believed. After joining a course and intent on setting out to prove people wrong, he found himself exclaiming, “It’s all true!” Now, with a fire inside of him, he’s the new guy on the block at an older age, serving in the church’s homeless ministry.
JESHUR
– Methodist Church in Sri Lanka (WMP)
Jeshur has been going to church since childhood. As a teenager he faced struggles and started looking for Jesus and his friends noticed a change. He’s no focused on worldly success because he had found new purpose in Christ. He serves as a Sunday School Teacher and Youth Advisor at the Methodist Church in Wellawatta, Sri Lanka.
