Inspire Spring 2025

Dear Friends (and new supporters),

This term we have been inspired by Psalm 105:1 which, in a nutshell, summarises our passion and purpose: We are a team of Christians who know and love Jesus, full of gratitude that we are able to share our faith with children in the schools we visit. We cannot tell the whole world, but we can tell over 25,000 children and not just once, but over and over again throughout their journey through primary school.

Our focus this Easter therefore is to tell others, beyond our existing wonderful support base, the exceptional things that are taking place; the things that God has done in the school halls and the classrooms we visit!

This email has been designed for you to easily forward it to friends, relatives or members of your church family, to let them know how the Holy Spirit is at work in our schools. Our hope is that they too will want to be a part of this vital mission and the link below will allow them to explore 3 ways they can get on board.

So, to keep it short and simple, I have selected just 2 of the many inspiring updates we have received from our team this term. We think these will communicate more than many paragraphs trying to explain what is happening:

“I felt a spiritual shift at the end of the assembly when Brandon Lake's song 'Gratitude' came on. I pray it was the Holy Spirit at work and the children were thinking and reflecting on all that was said and presented. There was just such a hush and a respect for the worship music as they sat still or filed out the assembly hall.” – Spinnaker in Eastbourne

“We spoke about God being a Good Shepherd and that we can hear God's voice. The children enjoyed playing a game where they had to recognise the voice of somebody from their class. We spent some time chatting to God and catching any messages he might want us to hear. The children all seemed to engage well with the encounter opportunity.” – Spinnaker in Bromley

As an added hopportunity(!), Stephen has created a "Jumping for Joy with Jesus" colouring-in Easter card. You can download and print this card using the link below. Perhaps your children, grandchildren, nephews & nieces may like to colour them in for friends and family members.

May you know God’s abundant blessing this Easter and beyond, as we all play our part in seeing "His Light shine in the darkness" (John 1:5).

Mike and all at the Spinnaker Team
