I have known Michael since he was born.  He has been in Sunday School and in our children’s clubs and youth groups;  I visited his family while they were in Switzerland with YWAM; I was kicked by him when he was in my care and did not want to do as he was told!  All the usual kind of stuff!  And I have seen him grow up and leave school.

This week it was so gratifying to have him with me at collective worship, playing his guitar and singing the praises of the Saviour before hundreds of boys.  Most of the lads will have little church experience outside of college.  Perhaps they think that Christianity is dull, old fashioned and only for the elderly – especially women.  Here a very credible young man affirmed, “In Christ alone I stand.”
