Hi,

On 5th August, the Youthscape team, and a team of more than 350 wonderful volunteers are heading to Bath and West Showground to set up the fourth Satellites festival: 'Hope & Glory'.

The following day, we are expecting more than 3000 young people & youth leaders, (from hundreds of churches across the UK), to join us. So, your prayers mean a great deal to us, as we seek to make the festival a safe, fun, and welcoming space for young people - some of whom will be away from home for the first time!

The local team and youth leaders from Luton Unite will be coming on 6th August, with a group of around 40 young people from Luton, so please pray for them, as they care for, serve, and share their faith with them.

Please pray that their time at Satellites will be life-changing for all these young people, and that it will be a time of renewal and of discovery of Jesus and the Christian faith. Pray that God will

speak through those leading the sessions, through worship, and through the youth leaders and other young people.

Also, pray for teenagers who are awaiting their GCSE and A Level results. It can feel like these results define their future, and, without the results they need, they may feel despondent, or unsure about what to do next. Pray for peace, especially for those who are worried about what this may mean for their future. And pray for their families, and those around them, that they will help to make this nerve-wracking process as painless as possible.

Finally, we would be grateful of your prayers for the Youthscape team, as we all take some time off over August, for a well-earned break! It’s been quite a year, so we’re all in need of some time to rest and recharge... before we begin again in September!

Thank you so much for all your support over this past year, we really appreciate all your prayers!

Chris, & the Youthscape Team
