The kids at Rm1 Hollyfield (mostly yr 7s) seem to have a collective fascination with world politics. Although I've had to explain several times why assassinating George Bush would NOT solve all the world's problems, on the whole they seem surprisingly well informed and up to date with what is going on in the world, and how the decisions made in the White House have affected the rest of the world.

The American election has been debated almost every day for the past month. It has been both encouraging and inspiring to see how these young people not only care about different situations around the world, but also have opinions and ideas about what they would do, given the chance, to make the world a better place. Most of them are overjoyed at the result of the American election, and I can only pray that the adults and political figures whom they are trusting to create a safe and healthy world for them to grow up in do not let them down. I have every faith that when these young people grow up, they will do exactly the same for the generations following them.

Could you pray for more conversations of belief and opinion at Rm1 Hollyfield, pray that we would be able to share with them our certain hope and future
Could you pray for the continuing increase in the numbers of young people attending Rm1 Hollyfield
