Sarah introduces
herself:
My name is Sarah Powell. I grew up in the Midlands, and intended to study art before feeling that I was called to work with young people. I have been working in Minchinhampton near Stroud as a youth and children's worker for the past 3 years, but I am really excited to get the opportunity to focus on work with those at Secondary school. In my spare time I am learning to dance salsa, and have been attending classes on and off for about two years. I am also just beginning to play the electric guitar, and hope to take some exam grades soon.
And
so does Tom:
Hello! I am Tom. I'm 18, from Painswick. My home church is "The Salvation Army" in Gloucester. In my spare time I enjoy Ventriloquism, Illusions and Comedy to present a gospel message. I have used all of these hobbies within the youth and family work at my own church and many others.
I'm planning to start a degree course titled "Youth and community work and applied theology" in September this year. For the course, I need a placement, which will be in South Cheltenham. Alongside Sarah I shall be working with the youth here and aiming to bring them closer to Christ.
I'm really excited about
working here and am looking forward to meeting more of you as the time
goes by!
