Across England and Wales, 95% of children and young people don’t have a meaningful church connection and need to hear that simple message that they are loved by God.
Your gift today can help a young person start their own journey of faith.
We couldn’t have done these last 16 months without your support...
October 2020 – Revealing Jesus Launch
Revealing Jesus is designed to help you journey into faith with the 95% of children and young people not in church.
After months of planning, the event went ahead online. We had planned for 300 people to attend in person at the National Conference; instead, we had 1,000 attending online, as we shared our vision for the 95.

March 2021 – Faith guide numbers are growing
By March 2021 we had recruited 109 Faith Guides, and today we have over 200 reaching out to the 95 across England and Wales.
Dom, one of our Faith Guides has set himself a personal challenge – he is aiming to reach 500 children and young people between
April 2021 and April 2022. So far, Dom has shared the good news of Jesus with over 300 children and young people across different ages.

Spring 2021 – Ongoing training
We ran a series of online training sessions which connected us to over a thousand of our supporters and regular users of SU resources; equipping people to reach out to the 95 where they are.
‘Thank you so much for Tuesday’s training. Thank you for offering it free – having access to your resources is a game-changer. The sessions were informative and helped me to think through why and what I am hoping to do and the challenge to go beyond Connect was a timely reminder. Thank you!’

Autumn 2021 – “I don’t go to church BUT...” Tour
In the Autumn we ran the “I Don’t go to Church BUT…” the Tour across England and Wales, sharing our vision for the 95, and encouraging churches and individuals to get involved, equipping them to reach out and impact the lives of children and young people around them who don’t go to church.

Your prayers, support, connections and encouragement mean so much to all of us. THANK YOU!
We have only just begun this journey with the 95. There is so much more to do. Together, as the 95 engage with a journey of faith, we look forward to the day when they become the 80%, then the 70%.
