Widow's Might


Frontier Youth Trust have an exciting new Project:

We are just about to nationally launch our new StreetSpace project to engage young people on the street and in the community and we could really do with your help to make this possible.

For the last 3 years we have been piloting StreetSpace and it has been really effective at engaging young people and exploring new ways to grow church with them. The project has been welcomed by young people, the police, councils and local Christians and we have been inundated with requests to start similar projects across the UK.

So to make StreetSpace happen nationally, please could I ask you for a small amount of time and money! In these challenging economic times, we have become very aware of the value of small things and the impact a widows mite (Luke 21) donation can make.

If you could turn on your phone and text the word MITE to 82540 it would be really appreciated. Texts cost £1.50 (plus your standard network charge) and over a pound will go directly to the StreetSpace initiative.

My second request would be to ask you to pass this email onto all your contacts, put the information in your church newsletters, on your web sites or anywhere else that you would be able to in order to help us make this dream a reality. Appreciate it.

If you would like to know how StreetSapce works and how it might be able to work with you, please drop me a line. Apologies if you get this email more than once and do let me know if you would prefer not to receive news update emails.

Many thanks and happy forthcoming advent ....
