It is great for Helen and I to see both of our girls get involved in
the One-2-one studies with a friend. It is really encouraging to
know that they have been given a simple structure to help them
have a meaningful study, completely managed by themselves
and a friend. This has not only given them independence to grow
in their faith at their own pace but also to hear how one of their
peer’s views a passage, which both challenges and helps to
deepen that friendship.
