Some
things you might like to know...
What
previous people on the Youth Programme have said about their experience
"A
good year, a very good year. Someone once said Christians are not meant
to pray for less of a load to carry, but a stronger back. This is what
this year is like. It isn't easy but the good points outweigh the bad
and make them easier to bear. I have grown, and all that type of transferable
skills stuff that makes your CV look like it is one big piece of over-exaggerated
fiction. Apart from that I have had a class time. Stage stuff is fun,
the friends I have made here I hope I never lose, I love living in this
community, it is great. You are supported well, trained, fed, paid, prayed
for, looked after and even occasionally massaged! Go for it, don't look
back; you might not turn into a pillar of salt but you might miss a great
year."
"Sharing
my faith with other young people, helped me to deeepen my own faith."
