“I have been grateful for the opportunity to work with youth leaders across Leeds and Bradford, under Ben’s leadership to deliver missional opportunities to the young people of our cities. Missional Generation has played a key role in steering these plans. Under the names of Hope Revolution and Mission United, it has been great to work in some of the most deprived areas of our cities, and the young people of e:merge have enjoyed being involved in community clean ups, gardening, refurbishment projects, family fun days, sports camps, street and children’s work; and hold particularly strong memories of a pay-it-forward initiative in West Bowling, Bradford. They have benefitted from worshipping, learning and praying with young people who share their faith and hope for the healing of communities.”
