Our new Student Evangelists!

Hello from Brenda...

Hi, my name is Brenda Emms and I live in a place called Hull - it has been my home for around fifty years. It seems very strange to be writing about myself but here goes! I have three children and 1 grandchild. My first daughter is Louisa who is 33 and lives in South Africa; she decided to go around the world and when she arrived in Cape Town she fell in love with the place and stayed. She now works as a volunteer enabler for her own company. My second daughter is called Tessa, she is 29 and works in a Bank. She is married to Paul who is in the Army. And then there's my son Ian who lives at home with me, he is 27 and a mechanic. Last but not least is my granddaughter Abbie who is 10 and a great treasure, she has bought so much joy into our family.

In 2005 I came to cliff on a Gap year, and the year was full of great experiences. God showed His great awesome presence to me in many ways. One of these experiences, was going away on mission to Norway, seeing God work through the team was awesome. But after the year ended I returned home and believed that God would open up the next door, but this did not happen. In fact God ask me to wait upon Him, this lasted a whole year. I had never really understood what it meant to be laid aside for God, but now I do, this year has been special in many ways for God has been doing some amazing things with me. And now He has called me back to Cliff as a student evangelist, our journeys are often not what we expect, but with the Lord we always have the confidence that He knows what He's doing!

And Hi from James!

Hello Everyone! I’m James Wallace but most people call me Jay and I am one of the new Student Evangelists at Cliff College. So I just thought I should say hi and say a couple of things about myself.

I’m in my fourth year at Cliff and have just finished my degree in Theology. I did this over the last three years which was a real challenge considering I have dyslexia but God has been totally amazing and it’s a real privilege to be able to work at Cliff. The only other stuff you really need to know about me, is that I’m originally from Liverpool, support the Everton and I am getting married next summer!

September Strikes Again!

Hi Everyone!

Sorry we haven't been writing over the summer, but life gets really busy for us as a department after Festival - with summer missions, graduation and our students leaving, and then other mission work, visits and meetings - and of course some very welcome holiday time!

We're all back at work now, getting our up and coming missions sorted out and planning for the reurn of the students on 15th!

Grace and Louise (our student evangelists last year) have left us now *sobs!* - but we have been joined by two new ones *cheers!*. Brenda and James will introduce themselves sometime very soon!

We're all off to Amsterdam for mission and some retreat/team planning time, so please pray for us over the next week as we talk to prostitutes and others staying in a Christian hostel, and spend some time praying and thinking about the coming year. Particularly think of us as we have to leave Cliff at 4am tomorrow (Friday) morning!!!! ;)

Hope you're all well - keep in touch via the comments! God bless, Evangelism Team :)
