Bea had been praying for her family for years. Her adult niece attended a Community Grocery fun day where she heard the message of the gospel and gave her life to Jesus. She shared her newfound faith with her friends, and they also gave their lives to Jesus. Over the next year, multiple family members also heard the message of the gospel including her foster son and her brother. They believed in Jesus. Her bold sharing on social media led additional friends, including Sarah and her 12-year-old son, to believe in Jesus as Savior. God’s work is multiplying, bringing restoration, hope, and life change across family, friends, and her community.

The Message Trust exists to passionately share the good news of Jesus with young people and urban communities in word and action. What began as a single band taking the good news into Manchester high schools has exploded into a new ministry we never imagined. Today, through Eden, we’re working in tough neighbourhoods, bringing real transformation to communities. We’re bringing hope in prisons, seeing hundreds turning to Jesus each year, whilst also helping keep families fed and sharing the gospel in Community Groceries. We’re pioneering ways of helping ex-offenders get their lives back on track through our ground-breaking enterprise work, and through our creative mission, we’re dreaming of literally millions of young people hearing the good news of Jesus and having an opportunity to respond to it.
