Latest episode – Episode 5: Lieutenant Nathan Loxley
Sharing stories can be powerful, encouraging and inspiring for those who share and for those who listen.

At local corps across territory there are youth leaders faithfully serving young people.

These youth leaders have a story to tell. What is God doing in their lives and the lives of young people? What are the young people's needs and how do they meet them? What are they learning?

Let's shine a spotlight on local youth work and celebrate our local youth leaders!

What is Spotlight?

Spotlight is a monthly video interview with a youth leader. The series is produced by Youth and Children's Ministries and you can watch the videos via their Facebook page, YouTube channel and right here on salvationist.org.uk.

Each month, we get to know our guest through ‘my life in pictures’ before having a conversation about their local youth ministry.
