Claire’s story

Claire, 14 year old daughter of Bev.  She has the gift of encouragement.

How long have you been involved at the Bridge?

I have been involved with holiday bible club since I was younger, then I came along to the Reckless holiday club and it really helped me.  I have been regularly on a Sunday since August last year.

Why do you come?

I want to learn more about what it is to be a Christian.  I want to learn how to pray and read the bible.  I am going to New Wine in the summer and really looking forward to it.  I go to Cease on Thursday which meets in our school.  We aim to end poverty and challenge injustice, it is great, and we are making a difference and having an impact.

What do you get out of coming to the Bridge?

“If it wasn’t for the Bridge I wouldn’t be interested in going to Church and wouldn’t be a Christian”
