Prayer Request from east-to-west

Prayer Request from east-to-westWith thanks and kind regards from Emma  Swinden , Support Worker at Thomas Knyvett College, Ashford – This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.


“It’s been a great few weeks so far in my new role here.  God clearly is already there, amongst staff and students and it feels as though the whole school community is moving into a new phase, welcoming a time of encouragement and growth.  I hope as my role develops to be able to send you stories of the good things happening in the school and prayer points as I begin to discover what God is doing and as I connect with it. It has been really great to meet with the local church community and it's exciting to see that there is great potential for them to have more presence in the school.
Please pray for:
- the lunchtime drop-in sessions I am setting up to get to know the young people - that God's presence is felt during these times and young people will find this a place to relax and have fun;
- an effective referral system to be put in place so that a quality service is provided for individual young people in need of help; and also, that God will be present in those initial meetings and discussions with staff who are unfamiliar with east-to-west;
- the staff at Thomas Knyvett and a renewal of energy, positivity and motivation so that they can continue to encourage their students to flourish. “
