The 15th of June will be a different workday for Reign Ministries staff. Instead of being sat at a desk, calling students on Zoom in their placements or recruiting next year’s students we’ll be lacing up our boots and walking a combined 100 miles together!
We’ll start the morning in Abingdon and the plan is to walk to Oxford centre.
All being well (and the same amount of people at the finish line that started!) we’ll hope to have successfully raised £2500 at the end of the day.
As with most charities, fundraising is an annual reality and we’re no different. Yet we’re so chuffed with how our staff are throwing themselves into this challenge. Various personal training walks have already taken place by various members and the sponsor pledges and finance has already started to appear. Comprised of current or past youth workers, Reign’s team has each written a personal blurb on why they are walking on the 15th and how each pound raised will help with their own sphere of Reign but also the entire ministry.
From practical and hands on support for our students, to the future vision or even just the boring old bills that have to be paid every month we are so excited for how this money can be used for God’s kingdom and training youth workers up and down the country who will in turn impact hundreds to thousands of young people for Christ.
You may be reading this and feel a stirring to help us, to partner with us in training more youth leaders. As well as seeking financial donations, we are also hoping to enlist the help of one or two local supporters to help us on the day of the walk with tea/coffee provisions or to transport the team from the end of the walk back to where our cars are parked at the start. Or why not consider joining us for the walk, even if you can’t commit to fundraising? Email us here if you’d like to know more about this. Without supporters and donors, our ministry simply won’t exist!

Charlie helps much of the behind the scenes work happen smoothly. He heads up our Operations, Recruitment and Donor Support Teams. He first started as a volunteer youth leader back in 1988, and has worked in churches and Christian youth organisations in Australia, England and Scotland.
In June 2022, the staff team and some friends of ours will be walking a collective 100 miles to try and raise over £2000 to support the ministry of Reign Ministries. Would you consider giving a one off gift to encourage the team and help us impact even more youth leaders? At times it feels […]
I don’t know you, as we haven’t met yet. But I speak with lots of people just like you every year. You’re thinking about doing a theology degree, as it combines your passion for God with a qualification from a university… But you haven’t decided where to study. You have been looking into a few […]
What is Conference? This week (November 2021) our degree students are all meeting together for our second Conference of this academic year. Conferences happen bi-monthly, and are an integral part of life as a degree student with Reign Ministries. It is here that students receive interactive lectures facilitated by highly trained and experienced staff. All […]
Doing the degree with Reign Ministries doesn’t have to tie you in to a life of youth work. However, for many of our students, studying with us fostered a passion for young people and they are still involved in youth work years later. One such person is Josh! Josh was completing a gap year with […]
Pastoral care is so important to us! The phrase “pastoral care” could conjure up many different pictures, so let me narrow it down for you. Pastoral care happens within the community of Reign Ministries because of two main factors; the people and the environment. The People We have great people in this community! This might […]
One of the things you hear from our students time and time again is that one of the best parts of their experience with Reign Ministries is the community that they become a part of when they’re with us. We asked a former member of staff, Ryan Murphy, to write a little bit about why […]
