The Ripple Effect of One Easter Assembly

Last week, our team had the privilege of visiting Ysgol Aberconwy, delivering an AS-Level Religious Studies lesson. It was a normal school day on the surface, but God was speaking in ways we didn’t expect.

As we walked back to reception, one of the pupils who was helping to escort us said something that stopped me in my tracks. Earlier this year, she had come to our Easter assembly, where we talked about Jesus being the real meaning of Easter.

She told me that what she heard that day “got through” to her. More than that, she felt moved enough to talk to her brother. Together, they found a Bible and since then, she’s been reading it with her mum, and the family has started looking for a church to belong to.

I don’t know about you, but that gives me goosebumps.

Why This Is So Encouraging

• It shows that what we do in schools matters. Whether it’s lessons, assemblies, or just building relationships, seeds are being planted.

• Faith is being passed on in homes. This pupil didn’t just walk away, she took what she heard home, shared it, and her family is starting to explore it together.

• God is at work in ordinary places. Not just in churches, but in classrooms, corridors, and living rooms.

This moment reminds us that we don’t always see the full picture of what God is doing. Sometimes, all we see is a smile, a “thank you” at the school gates, or a student coming up to say, “I was at that assembly, and …”

How You Can Join In

Would you pray with us? Here’s how you can partner in this kind of story:

• Pray. Please pray for that girl, her brother, and their mum as they explore the Bible and search for a church. Pray for clarity, community, and courage.

• Give. This kind of school work — the assemblies, lessons, follow-up — doesn’t happen on its own. Your giving helps us reach more schools, more students, and more families.

• Volunteer. We’re always in need of people who can come alongside us — whether as school workers, prayer partners, or as part of our youth-worker team. If God is nudging you, let’s talk.
