Over 200 young people find faith at Summer Madness
What a joyful marathon Summer Madness is each year. We absolutely love being part of it. 2024 was the best year in a long time – roughly 200 young people committed their lives to follow Jesus for the first time.
Amen! We also got to see our National Youth Officer Simon Henry fear for his life in a motorbike stunt and he was gunged live on stage by CIYD President, Bishop Pat Storey!
Our CIYD Connect Café leaders venue was bustling with a chill out space for over–18s and busy seminars programme as well as freebies for youth leaders – thank you to the Missional Generation team for partnering with us in this, it was so great and we value this working relationship so much.
Our staff team & volunteers worked their socks off to make our venue welcoming and cosy – not to mention all the hard work to put it together and take it all down again on Monday evening! Thank you so much to everyone who helped in any way it is so valued, and all for God’s Kingdom.
Now let’s all have a wee lie–down.
