Hi!
Welcome to the Park Outreach blog!!! We really hope that this will become a great tool for prayer and hope you find it encouraging to hear about what God is up to in Cotham Gardens!
The Park Outreach started about 6 weeks ago now and the team currently consists of; Ella Green, Richard Eves, Miranda Naish, Rachel Kelso, Jon Albon and myself (Karly). We have all been pleasantly surprised by the response to the Park Outreach so far and have given out more hot chocolates than we ever expected... with just over 50 in the very first week and now we give out around 80, this is mainly to young people from Cotham Secondary School but we do meet some primary school children too with the people who collect them from school, all are very enthusiastic about hot chocolate! We have been blessed with mainly dry weather and have had a number of young people asking "why?" which has given us a great opportunity to tell young people that God loves them! We are starting to learn a few names and getting to know some of the young people a bit better but please pray that God would give us a supernatural ability to remember names and faces and that he will be in the midst of our conversations, pray that we would be bold and loving in our faith. Please also continue to pray that God would call more people to the team!
God bless
Karly :)
