Pais Project.

As of January I will joing the Pais Project for 6 months or so here is a little bit about Pais:

The vision of Pais GB is to make missionaries, by working with the local church to reach young people both in and outside of schools, integrating them in the local Church.

Their aim is that we wouldn’t just see thousands of young people in the year but that they would come into relationship with God and themselves be committed to enlarging the Kingdom of God. For centuries Britain has been called ‘Great Britain’, as we look around the towns and cities of our country we’re committed to making that statement true!

We want to make Britain truly Great!

They are passionate about the young people of our world and are desperate to see people in the relationship with God that he intended us to have. We work with schools and churches to help bridge the gap between them and help young people find their purpose as they grow in their understanding and experience of God. There are many ways we do this throughout the world. All of which seek to build life-changing relationships with the students we work with.

A Pais team consists of between 4-6 apprentices, who may come from several different nations around the world.

Each apprentice works with a partnered church. Sometimes there will be multiple apprentices working with one church. Apprentices will work within the student ministry of their partnered church, assisting the youth pastor in running the weekly program.

Within the church environment, apprentices aim to challenge and equip students to become missionaries within their schools. (For more information about this, see our M4 page. M4 is our intentional structure for creating mission-minded students.)

The apprentices also meet together each day as a team and spend their time creating and performing ministry in the local schools.

The ministry can take the form of lessons, lunch clubs, assemblies/chapels, workshops, mentoring sessions, coaching…or anything that allows us to serve the needs of the schools that partner with us.

The Pais Project was established to connect un-churched students with a local church in their area. Since the apprentices work in both environments, they become the “familiar face” that so many first-time visitors to church don’t have, allowing them to easily settle in and feel welcomed.

Through continued interaction and involvement in the different worlds of the students they work with, Pais apprentices become a positive influence and a strong role-model.

Please Pray for me during my time with Pais I'll start in Jan and be in the Blackpool base for 6 months so till July then will go wherever the Lord Leads me.
