A Quiet Revival Is Stirring

We’re so excited to share what God is doing among young people in the UK. Did you know that while 95% of under-18s don’t go to church, 1 in 3 teenagers say they want to know more about Jesus? There’s a quiet hunger rising in this generation and we believe now is the time to respond.

That’s why we’re creating a brand-new 10-week Youth Discipleship Course designed for today’s teens: engaging videos with real-life testimonies, flexible leader and participant guides, games, creative activities, and powerful prayer times. All built on the solid foundation of who we are in Christ.

And here’s the exciting part - right now, your gift can go up to four times further through the Big Give. That means:

  • Your £50 could become £200
  • Your £500 could become £2,000

It’s a unique opportunity to multiply what God has placed in your hand and reach more young people than ever before.

Our prayer is to reach 20,000 young people through...

Richard's Personal Endurance Update

Just a quick update, Richard wrapped up his training last weekend. On Thursday night, he practiced his night running with a 10-mile stretch on part of the course. Despite the heat on Friday morning, he pushed through another 12 miles on a different section. That evening, he took on a particularly tough part of the route he's struggled with in the past and completed 8 miles!

Now, he's got two weeks ahead to focus on recovery and strength-building, with some light running mixed in to stay sharp and ready!

Richard's Story...

I'm 63 years old, and originally from South Africa. I moved to the UK 30 years ago, and my journey into running, particularly trail running and ultras, started surprisingly late, in my 50s! Before that, I wasn't really a sports person, but I've truly fallen in love with hitting the trails.

For me, trail running is about more than just physical exertion. It's an incredible way to explore remote, beautiful places...

Equip Kenyan Leaders for Change

As part of our commitment to Go Wider, Deeper, and more Global, we're excited to announce an exciting initiative to invest in the next generation of leaders in Kenya.

Across the country, 120 leaders are eager to go through the Freed to Lead course - a discipleship course that will help them become the leader God has created them to be!

Kenya FIC have the vision! They just don't have the funds to access the resources!

That’s where you come in.

We want to sponsor all 120 leaders with the Freed to Lead books they need to complete the course. We will cover the logistics to get the books to them. All we’re asking is if you would consider helping us cover the cost of a book or two?

  • £20 = 1 leader equipped

  • £100 = 5 leaders empowered

This is more than a campaign. It's a calling to Go Global not by exporting programs, but by equipping local...

Three Personal Endurance Challenges

We’re blown away by your generosity so far—thank you! Together, we’ve already raised over £12,500 toward our £25,000 goal for Give a Gift of Freedom, part of our Challenge 25 vision to go wider, deeper, and more global in 2025. Your gifts are helping us move toward some incredible goals:

 

Wider: Sharing the Freedom In Christ message with every single church across the UK

Deeper: Developing and launching two new resources—the FIC Youth Course and the FIC Marriage Course

Global: Expanding our impact across nations with accessible, translated tools

 

To help us go even further, three amazing supporters are stepping up to complete personal endurance challenges—putting their faith, fitness, and passion to work for this cause.

TRANSFORM 2025 Applications

You’re invited!

TRANSFORM is back this September—and we’d love you to join us.

This 9-month journey is a unique opportunity for Christian leaders to pursue deep personal freedom, lasting fruitfulness, and real transformation in Christ. At a time when leadership can feel more draining than ever, TRANSFORM is a space to reconnect with God, rediscover who you are in Him, and be equipped to lead with renewed clarity and courage.

It’s not light-touch. This is a significant commitment: praying, studying, and gathering with others weekly—roughly 4 hours a week. But if you carry vision and responsibility for your church, organisation or ministry, we believe this space will shape you in ways that ripple far beyond yourself.

The journey unfolds in three parts:

  • Reposition – rediscovering your identity in Christ and dealing with what’s been holding you back.

  • Retune – aligning your...

Lights, Camera, TRANSFORM

Ever tried to film five sessions of teaching in one day? We did and God helped every step of the way!

Earlier this month, we gathered to record all the video content for the upcoming TRANSFORM Retreat. With four presenters, Steve, Rob, Jackie and Bex and the brilliant Andrew Walkington directing, filming, and working his audio magic, it was a packed day of ministry, message, and more than a few moments of laughter.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing… some of us found ourselves tripping over our words more than we’d like to admit. Thankfully, Andrew stepped in with some unexpected vocal warm-ups to loosen up our mouths — let’s just say, it worked and it made for some serious laughs. (Thankfully the cameras stopped rolling for that bit!)

The heart of the TRANSFORM Retreat is helping leaders go deeper into their freedom in Christ, which came through loud and clear. These sessions are full of rich, foundational teaching that we can’t wait to share with those...

Reflections from NWLC 2025

We had the joy of being part of the New Wine Leadership Conference 2025 (NWLC) — a gathering of leaders, teams, and volunteers from across the country, hungry to meet with God and be equipped for the local and global mission of the Church.

It’s always a privilege to be in spaces like this. We were there as exhibitors to share about the resources we offer — especially for those carrying the weight of leadership and longing for deeper freedom and clarity in their calling.

This is a key part of our Go Wider, Go Deeper, Go Global strategy — and NWLC really speaks to Go Wider: connecting with more leaders who can use our resources to make free and fruitful disciples.

We had some brilliant conversations and many expressed a desire to go deeper — personally and in their leadership. Many were drawn to our courses, especially TRANSFORM, recognising the need for intentional space to be restored and re-equipped for the road...
