‘Helping leaders to reach a vital generation’

Dr John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York, has given his backing to LightLive, Scripture Union’s free online ministry that puts children’s and youth learning material at leaders’ fingertips. Dr. Sentamu, well-known for his views on the education, care and wellbeing of children and young people, and the church’s work with children and young people, said LightLive would help leaders reach a vital generation.

The Archbishop said of LightLive: ‘I’m passionate about young people being given the opportunity to respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ and grow in their faith. I’m sure that youth leaders and children’s workers across the country will find LightLive a useful tool in helping them to reach this vital generation in a fun, challenging and accessible way.’

Keith Civval, Chief Executive of Scripture Union in England and Wales, agrees it is essential that churches connect with young people: ‘In a fast-changing society it is vital that the next generation has the opportunity to hear and respond to the unchanging good news of Jesus Christ.
