Colleges: 'I've never been as encouraged as I am now'
Claire Povey
I have had the tremendous privilege of seeing God at work in colleges and sixth forms up and down the UK for the last 17 years.
The organisation I work for, Festive, supports 16-18 year olds in further education as they seek to live for Jesus and share Him where they study. In all my time with Festive, I have never been as encouraged as I am now.
Good news in F.E. Colleges
It all started for Festive ten years ago.
An eclectic mix of people with a heart for Further Education Colleges and Sixth Forms sat around a table and prayed for God to take what they had and multiply it.
Full of beans?
In May Festive launched its 2016 free give away campaign, with the prayer that even more sixth formers will pass on copies of the evangelistic survival manual Beyond Beans On Toast this summer.
Last year, students and chaplains ordered bundles to distribute at a variety of creative events. Through leavers’ BBQs, CU parties and ‘results day’ stalls, an incredible 1,000 sponsored copies were put into the hands of students at 30 colleges and sixth forms across the UK!
