Looking forward to Truth 4 Youth February
Dear All,
February is nearly upon us and we are right in the midst of organising everything. It's all looking really good, we are so excited at the prospect of the amazing teachers we have coming along and the wonderful fellowship we will all share. We are praying for you all, for travelling mercies for you and that you will all be encouraged and fed well during our time together, spiritually and of course with the excellent food at Heatree. We praise God for this opportunity to learn more about Him together.
We look forward to seeing you,
Love in Jesus

Update on Truth 4 Youth August 2008
Dear All,
What a wonderful blessed time we all had again this August. Thank you so much to all of you for coming along. It was such a joy to see you all welcoming each other now that so many of you have become such close friends in the Lord. It was lovely also how all you regulars made the newcomers so welcome.
We thank God for His provision of amazing speakers, who served Him by travelling many miles, some from overseas, to teach and bring the truth of God's Word to us all.
We must thank God for His provision with the weather as the rain really did hold off for most of the weekend.
Thank you again to everyone that helped with the conference and to all of you that attended,
Looking forward to February 2009,
Love in Jesus

Looking forward to August Truth 4 Youth
Dear All,
We are so looking forward to welcoming you all back to Heatree this August. Only 12 days to go at writing! We have the largest amount of people coming along this year and also many new faces. We praise God for this. The programme is almost finalised and is looking very exciting. We pray that during your time together you will make many new friends and your faith will be strengthened.
Update on Truth 4 Youth February 2008
Dear All,
I feel anything I say about Truth 4 Youth this February could never express how incredible this weekend was... What a blessing it was to be with you all and I'm sure you will join me in saying a huge thank you to Jay Smith and Tim Palmer who taught us with such passion and love for our Lord Jesus Christ, it really was amazing.
You all seemed to love your time together whether you were debating Scripture, playing UNO, taking walks, playing table-tennis, football etc. It was wonderful to see so many new faces this year.
I think we owe a huge thank you also to Jacob Prasch (Moriel) for encouraging all the new youth and 20 something's to come along this year. It was a pleasure and a privilege to meet you and we are so grateful you took time out and travelled so far to join us, especially all the way from Manchester on your motor-bike (you know who you are).
Can't wait for August to see you all again,
Love in Jesus
Graham, Suzie, Rob and Rosa
Update on Truth 4 Youth 2007
Dear All,
It was such a blessing to spend time with you all again this year. Thanks to all those that helped during the weekend, especially with Dorm Groups and Children's work. What would we do without you all. Thanks also to the Speakers who put so much time and effort into being with us, always ready to answer the many questions we and the youth have and giving of their time so freely. We pray you were also blessed and enjoyed your time with us as much as we enjoyed having you there.
Thank you for filling out the questionnaires, it's not too late to get yours to us if you've forgotten. We are endeavouring to put into practice all your comments. We have put out our objectives for Truth 4 Youth for the future, you'll find them on the front page of this website. Most of these have come from our thoughts and prayers whilst reading your responses to the questions asked.
We are now getting ready for our mini-conference in February 2008. We are very excited to have Jay Smith back with us as we are sure you are. Jay is so passionate in his evangelism to the Muslims it is infectious. We are so looking forward to meeting Tim Palmer and his family from New Tribes Mission Bible College in North Cotes, Lincolnshire. Tim like Jay, comes from a long line of Missionaries in his family and now works a a Bible teacher in the NTM Bible College. New Tribes Mission statement is 'Our primary focus is to plant churches among "NEW TRIBES" who have yet to hear the Gospel'. How exciting is that. You can find out more about NTM on their website www.uk.ntm.org
We look forward to seeing you in Feb and don't forget to invite your friends along.
Love in Jesus,
Graham, Suzie, Rob and Rosa.
Quick update on mini conference Feb 2007
Dear Youth, just a quick thank you to all of you who came along for Truth 4 Youth. We pray you all learnt loads and made many friendships.
Wow, there was a lot of debate going on this year, especially during dorm time. That's what it's all about though - searching the Scriptures, checking out everything - it's so great that you all care so much about God and His Word.
As usual we loved our dorm groups, what a lovely time together discussing what we've learnt during the day, chilling out and eating galaxy (oops - i thought every dorm group did that - not just mine (Suzie's)
Thanks to the speakers who all gave of their time so generously.
Thanks again to all the Heatree staff, food was great as usual and the rooms were lovely and clean.
Now we're looking to August. As you may have seen from the front page of this website we have Rocky back this year, along with his lovely new wife. Rocky will be speaking and helping with dorm times.
We'll keep you informed about other speakers and will of course let you know as soon as they confirm.
Please know that we are praying for all of you....
Love in Jesus
Graham, Suzie, Rob and Rosa
Update on Truth 4 Youth 2006
Dear Youth and any of your family members who came along this August. We'd like to thank you for coming along and making Truth 4 Youth such a great time together.
Thank you to all those who came along and gave their time so willingly helping with dorm groups, Kidz Truth etc.
To the Youth, you are such a great crowd, thank you for the encouragement that you are to all of us oldies. We really love being with you and to see you each year growing more in the Lord is amazing, the love you have for one another is something we can all learn from. We want you to know that we Praise God and thank Him for you all.
Thanks also to the staff at Heatree House, wow what a lovely place to hold Truth 4 Youth, the countryside around it is beautiful and Heatree is so clean and friendly- we really feel at home there.
It was fantastic to see so many youth discussing doctrine together and wanting to hear truth and then like the Bereans checking out everything alongside Gods Word.
So now we're looking forward to February, our mini conference that runs from 16th - 18th February. As we've stated on the booking form Februarys Truth 4 Youth is a chance to really delve into our bibles and get into some meaty teaching which is why we say it is primarily for believers.
Jay Smith has agreed to come along and share more with us about Islam which I know you guys loved this August and you can't wait to get to Speakers Corner.....
We'll let you know the other speakers when we get confirmation...
We have had some great feedback from some of the youth and thought maybe it would be encouraging for you to read as they truly encouraged us - God is so good. Here's a few e-mails.
Just thought that I would send you an email to say thank
you so much for this year's conference. It has been fantastic! Truth 4 Youth
is always such an encouragement to me and this year has been no exception.
It was amazing to see that many young people there that were so on fire for
God as up here in Manchester, I know very few young Christians that are that
passionate and that focused on the Lord.
This year's speakers were all so good and they were so
widely different
too. I really enjoyed Jay Smith as I have never heard anyone talk about
Islam the way that he did and to see that there are people out there who are
combating this religion in such an active way is phenomenal. James
Stafford's talk was also really encouraging and gave me answers to many of
my friends' questions at school, making me feel much more prepared for
witnessing in the year ahead. The other speakers were also fantastic and I
learnt such a lot in just four days.
Once again I thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication
and to everyone else who had any input into Truth 4 Youth. It was such a
blessing and encouragement as always. Thank you also for our dorm time which
was an ideal end to each day - we all really enjoyed ourselves. If there is
anything that I can do or pray about, please let me know.
God bless,

Hey guys, it was awesome to see you at T4Y. I pray that
everyone was
blessed by the weekend and grew in the knowledge of God. I found it so
encouraging seeing so many young people with a hunger to get deeper into
God's word. We are so fortunate to have these opportunities and I hope you
guys can make it in August! Maybe we'll get some better football weather -
>less mud clods falling from the sky.
I hope everyone settled quickly back into "the real world" and is able to
take away the stuff they've learnt and apply it.
In sending this everyone should have everyone else's address so we can stay
in touch - especially important for those guy's who don't have many
Christian family/friends. If anyone knows of anyone I have missed on the
list please tell me.
Want to say thank you again on behalf of everyone to Rob and Rosa, Graham
and Suzy for all you do, the mid-year weekend was a brilliant idea. Also
to Salvi, James and Simon for all they brought to us.
A few good websites:
www.biblicaldiscipleship.org - Jobe Martin's Site
www.answersingenesis.org
www.biblegateway.com - Useful for looking up words/passages/topics in the
bible and in many versions
God Bless all you guys
To you all
Just to reaffirm what Tim said in the last email, I also was blessed and
encouraged to see so many young people praising the Lord. The reason why
it blessed me was because I do not have ANY Christian friends who are my
age, especially not friends who have any sort of watchful eye on what is
>actually going on in the world.
I would also like to say thank you to the leaders who taught during the
conference and spent there time explaining the Word of God to me.
I would also like to say thank you to the Lads in my Dorm for all the
good discussions and laughs we had.
May God Bless you all
Dear Rosa,
Hope everything is going smoothly for
Truth 4 Youth in the summer and that the Lord is organizing all the finer
details for you like he always so graciously seems to do.
I just want to say the biggest thank you ever for the conference at the
weekend - I really, truly enjoyed myself and I know that Natalie and
Charlotte did too. They both would like to come in the summer also, I personally
really enjoyed
the Bible study with Salvador as it really helped me think and study what I
was reading rather than just skimming over it and missing out the parts
that I didn't understand.
Another thing that you also mentioned which I think would be good is to
have a short meeting on the first night, because after travelling down,
most of the information washed over me and my brain couldn't engage for
that length of time.
I really enjoyed dorm-time this year as well, especially with the chocolate
fingers, doritos and dip - you must say thank you to Suzie for me! It was
the perfect finisher for the day with not too much information but still
including a gospel message and all of us girls just relaxing together. I
also really enjoyed the chill out time, especially the time before we went
to bed - that was perfect and really helped everybody to make friends and
talk to each other and I think it was partially because of that that that
at this conference we all became so much closer. I think it would be a good
idea to keep the youth separate from the adults so that the meetings are
gaged for us, and also that some of the meetings are separated for just
boys and just girls so that we can talk about personal things, but I also
think that it would be nice if we could have the rest with all of the youth
mixed up together so that everyone can get to know one another as a whole.
Again I thank you for all of your hard work, from you and the rest of the
team - I'll be praying for you! This last weekend was amazing, the best
conference ever so once again thanks a lot - can't wait already till
August! If I think of anything else I'll let you know.
Thanks,
God bless,
