Dear Wave Friends and Supporters in Prayer

Springtime is here and as new life springs up around us,
we can prepare ourselves for the end of the month when
we celebrate how eternal life has become possible through Christ! It is a
great privilege to share this wonderful news with the young people
we are connected with, however, of the 800 young people in Swanage,
Richard, Hannah, Berno and a handful of volunteers are only reaching
40 (0.5%) young people through face-to-face interactions. We want to
increase our reach through running clubs and we would love for you to
join us in this endeavour!

What have we been up to?
Remix | Youth Open Mic Night

The past couple of months have been great seeing Remix develop into a
dynamic platform that empowers young musicians. It provides a unique
space where self-expression through music is met without judgement.
Alongside the young people performing, the house band starts the night
up with a few Christian songs to foster a spiritual connection among
attendees. We are very proud of cultivating an environment where young
people can flourish as musicians and individuals.
This year’s focus is to offer young people the opportunity to showcase
their skills at Swanage Carnival. We want to create an opportunity to
amplify their voices and talents within the broader community.

Rooted | Youth Club
Rooted creates a space for young people to explore the questions of life
and faith in a setting that listens and builds on their experiences.
Through playing games, eating toasties, chatting and prayer, young
people can grow spiritually within a safe and welcoming place.
Christian Unions (CU) | Secondary School Lunchtime Clubs

Before half term we explored with the young people how the Bible
shapes our understanding of God’s character, humanity’s connection to
God, and the impact of sin on life. For the second part of the half term we
are focusing on how Christ is God, His humanity, and how He restores
our connection with God.
The Swanage School CU varies in attendance and engagement. Some
weeks are better attended than others. Purbeck School CU is much
