CYESC – Day 4

Day 4 – Final day at the Christian Youth Enterprises Sailing Centre (CYESC) at Chidham, Chichester, West Sussex.
No sailing for me today, but the 20 or so campers enjoyed almost perfect conditions for their final day out on the water!

cye friday

Final talk of the week, and it has been great to teach John chapter 1 each day to this young (8-12yrs) enthusiastic group, and spend today explaining how Jesus is ” The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world”.

CYESC Day 3

Wettest day so far at the Christian Youth Enterprises Sailing Centre (CYESC) at Chidham, Chichester, West Sussex. and it did NOT even rain today! But the strong winds and choppy water meant a lot of capsizes and a lot of extra wet people!

cyesc day 3

The young people listened really well to an explanation of ‘Jesus the Lamb of God’ – great to be able to explain why Jesus Died! Looking forward to our final session tomorrow – keep praying!

CYESC – Day 2

Another good day on the water – as the cold wind blew and the rain fell I was asked, “Can’t you say a prayer to change the weather?”
I had to remind them, that I am in sales not management!

CYE18

i would value your prayers for Thursday & Friday as in my lunchtime talks, I explain the death of Jesus and what it means to believe & follow him!

Christian Youth Enterprises Sailing Centre

Always good to be involved in children’s & youth camps. During this half-term I will be able to join with the team at at the Christian Youth Enterprises Sailing Centre (CYESC) at Chidham, Chichester, West Sussex.

It will be good each morning to be on the water of this four day sailing Camp, a chance to mix and mingle with the campers and then each lunchtime give Bible talk. The camp is non-residential which means mid-afternoon I can head off home and enjoy sleeping in my own bed!
Do pray for the talks given, that even now they will still ‘bear fruit’.
