Bank Holiday Hope: Roy Crowne's Message

“What did you do over the May Bank Holiday?” is the familiar question asked the length and breadth of the UK each year, as many respond by mumbling the benign mantra “We had a barbecue and then did some DIY.” How refreshing for many of us to answer this question differently, by citing the many projects we’ve helped organize or taken part in as part of Hope08.

Early May Bank Holiday saw Hope08’s One Million Hours Of Kindness initiative roll out across the UK. The Hope website highlights a few other events below that took place or are scheduled to run over the next few weeks, to encourage you that Hope08 really is building in missionary momentum.

What next? Well, fast approaching on the horizon is the next key initiative: Summer Activities. Here we’re going to see some amazing Hope social action projects taking place. For exampleBath YFC are running a huge BBQ in addition , there’s the usual summer festivals scheduled in, but this year the feel and sense of practical urgency is going to be tangible as we hear many youth feedback all they’ve been doing so far in Hope08 and together thousands more are inspired and commissioned to lock into the remaining initiatives: Hope Explored - Harvest & The Gift Of Hope - Christmas.

The Hope Revolution continues to go from strength to strength, with so many young people feeding back on our social networking sites the amazing and the inspiring times they had encountering God at Spring Harvest.

Take a look at the messages left on their Bebo site.
