From Craig to You

Dear Friend,

There are so many wonderful developments to share with you and so many areas that need your prayer that it’s difficult to know where to begin! But I want to start by thanking you for your partnership and the impact that you’re making on so many young lives through SRE. It is humbling to see Psalm 78:3-4 in action before our very eyes!

As you can read on page 1, this year is breaking records for SRE enrolments – more of our state’s students are exploring faith for themselves than at any time since the COVID-19 pandemic! That’s truly exciting and I urge you to continue lifting them up in prayer, today and throughout the school year.

The 2025 SRE Conferences were a joy, with hundreds of teachers and coordinators in attendance. If you’ve been to a conference yourself, you’ll know just how much excitement and fellowship is in the room, as like-minded and passionate people of all ages and levels of experience look to learn and grow together.

You’ll see that the first ever Youthworks Getaways event was launched recently, as three fathers and sons paddled 20km down the Kangaroo River over two glorious days. It was a precious time for these boys and their dads to grow and deepen their relationship – with each other and with the Lord.

And LiT continues to grow and reach farther than ever. Please be in prayer about the opportunities that lie ahead for this dynamic program to flourish in Armidale and beyond into every state in Australia.

God has wonderful things in store … and it’s your generous partnership that makes it all possible. Thank you for your support to orient young lives to Christ – for life!

Yours sincerely,

Canon Craig Roberts

CEO Youthworks
