The Christian Music College Nexus, sent staff member Anthony Hippsley and second year student leader Joel Rhys Davies, to visit Roger recently to plan a schools mission for May 2011. You may remember Nexus and CEM, got together last year and it proved a pleasing success with ten young people finding Christ.
The plans for this year is again to visit Beaufort Comprehensive School, here in Gloucester but to hold the week long event in the school building. This will mean that the Saturday climatic evangelistic event will take place in the school, rather than last year in a local church building. Lessons in music and religious studies along with daily school assemblies will be the programme for the week reaching 1600 students. The fun side of the mission will come through the organising of a "X Factor" competition during lunch hours. In addition, a short twenty minute Nexus music concert, each day after school, will take place just to wet the appetite for the young people to attend the Saturday night concert.
CEM`s relationship with Nexus based in Coventry, developed through Roger`s son Nathan being a student there for two years. In fact you may remember the story in the "On the Edge" magazine last year.
Roger says, "the Nexus Music Team, has a great deal of STREET CRED with the students. Young people with the gift of performing music can at all times get on to the level of school children on occasions such as these. So that's pray the Lord will use this significant event to reach these youngsters with the powerful truth of His Gospel."
We all say "AMEN" to that!
Roger will oversee the event from beginning to end.
