Sarah moved to Chester studying for a DipHE in Christian Youth Work for two years and during this time worked out in the field in two different places. It was the second of these placements that brought her to the Wirral, working in Heswall for a Church. After finishing and passing her DipHE and gaining her JNC Sarah decided to stay on at the University of Chester gain her BA HONS in Christian Youth Work. During her final year Sarah studied Youth Work skills alongside Theology modules, but also stayed on the Wirral in employment with the Church where she had previously been on placement. It was during this time that God broke her heart for the young people of Wirral and she knew that God was calling her to live on the Wirral. Sarah since then has got married and moved to live and now work with Wirral YFC! She is now on the advisory panel for the University of Chester Youth Work degree and is a qualified hockey coach!

My Home Church is Huntingdon Methodist Church. I’ve been a Christian for 5/6 years. I’ve been doing youth work for about 18 months – one year in Manchester with the Pais Project and 6 months in Nuneaton near Birmingham in a YFC centre. 3 words to describe myself: Bubbly, Smiles, passionate. I dance, sing, play guitar, take photos and song write but not all the same time. I have Two Brothers Jonathan 22 and Richard 18 and my lil Sister Naomi 15 as well as my mum Sue and dad Mark.

I love reading to I’m reading a book at the moment about the Old Testament convent and Isaiah and Abraham etc. It’s by a guy called Rob bell (from the Nooma dvd’s) and it’s called ‘Jesus wants to save Christians.’

I was brought up going to the church but I didn’t get this God stuff I’m still Trying to tackle it today we will never stop trying to understand it really will we? It’s great cause we can learn from each other in many different ways and I feel it’s a lot about how we live out our faith with those around us and how we reflect God’s character and how we act. Whether that’s when we out after school or at the weekends even more when we are at school. I’ve always asked God how can I reflect Him to my friends who aren’t Christians and to young people who have know idea who He is?? Whether it’s when I don’t swear or if I’m Be respectful even if someone is getting on my nerves. I ask God why is it important that I share my faith with others – what does that do for me? Well imagine you have been given a really cool present or you’ve brought this really great Game or laptop you wanna Go tell your friend so much you wanna show them that your new laptop is a Mac book and it has an amazing camera where you can take very funny pictures of yourself. You would wanna tell everyone!
