Most of my work involves using music, bands and artists to connect with young people in various settings, mainly High Schools. I have both been 'in' the band as well as managing and pioneering projects both here in the UK and overseas so have a fairly unique vantage point.
Music is basically amazing! It is something that connects us to each other and has the potential to point us towards something higher than ourselves.
Alongside music, my own faith plays a huge role in my work. It's not about religion and it's not about a moral code.
My faith is in a living saviour, Jesus. My hope is in Him and how He connects me to God through what He did 2000 years ago. This is a message of total freedom. Galatians chapter 5 talks about this freedom:
'So stand strong for our freedom! The Anointed One freed us so we wouldn’t spend one more day under the yoke of slavery, trapped under the law.'
I spend a lot of time dreaming up new ways to get this message of Freedom, Hope and a future into the hands of young people. I want them to know the truth and I am convinced that the truth will set them free to be the young men and women that God always intended them to be.
I will go to Czech tomorrow and see 320 young people who have all decided to spend some time taking the gospel to young people throughout Central and Eastern Europe. This is an amazing thing to witness, their commitment and resolve.
I will also spend some time with the trustees of the embryonic JVUK. Our first trustees meeting! Something new, something exciting with so much potential. It will be just 1 day in my life, a fleeting 24 hours, but it will be significant, energising and fruitful.
Tomorrow I will talk a wee bit about the purpose our trip to the USA. We leave on Tuesday. EEK!
