Desperate times calls for desperate measures they say. So, I have been thinking, as I am not able to take part in the Miles from Home challenge for various reasons, I wanted to challenge myself in another way to raise money for Cambridge & District Youth for Christ so… I am going to be shaving my hair off to raise money for them!

Wow you say that is a little extreme isn’t it? But young people are in desperate need to know about Jesus, especially in a time like this. In a world where young people are facing more mental health challenges, there is a need to spread God’s love over then. For them to know they have a purpose, are loved, and are wanted is such a big deal.

Youth for Christ has had a major impact on my life, and they are the reason why I became a Christian. And that totally changed my life! I have had the privilege of being part of two gap years working with them in Cambridge and the local church. I grew so much in that time and I got to witness God breaking down barriers and transform lives! That is why I am so passionate about this. I thank the Lord so much that I can continue to share the good news to many young people in my job as a youth worker.

Shaving my hair off will be a challenge for me. I will not be able to hide behind my hair anymore and use it as a safety barrier. I am going to have to be bold and brave! I hope that by doing this God will teach me about loving your true self and how hard life can be for teenagers in today’s world.

If you have any pennies to spare, I would be ever so grateful as this is such a great charity.

We want to see young peoples lives changed by Jesus. Will you help us make this happen?

Thank you so so much! Lydia :)
