Paul Windo @ Urban Saints / #22 / 16.9.09

What’s my role…
I have a new boss called Lorne. He’s a great guy and I knew him already – we used to go “head-to-head” at exhibitions when he worked for Youth For Christ – so it wasn’t too difficult a transition. However, his working style is leaving me rather breathless! He’s very creative and we’ve been collaborating on a new advert idea for the last week or so. It’s gone through loads of changes and revisions, discussions, sketching and even a mock-up photo-shoot! Suffice to say, Lorne joining the team is a great move for Urban Saints, plus he is really stretching me and I’m feeling more creative and energized by the whole experience! Even if I hadn’t even put my bag down this morning when we launched into our latest “re-think”…

Elsewhere in Urban Saints
Last week, the entire Urban Saints team met together for our Team Gathering. It’s a great chance to catch up with the whole team, be inspired, pray and have some fun together. We heard stories of this summer’s ReAct mission, our work overseas, looked ahead to 2010, experienced the Holy Spirit personally and tried to sink one another while rafting! It is a great couple of days and everyone comes back to their roles energized and inspired.

How can you help?
We really need volunteers – the movement is not built on our team but on the thousands we serve who willing give their free time to Urban Saints. Could you give us some of your time where you live? You don’t even have to be a youth / children’s worker – there are loads of other roles we need to fill! Let me know if you want to know more
