Tom’s Story -
School Assembly to Baptism
Last October, we helped bring the very first Bristol Schools Tour to life. Over five days, 4,000 young people heard a message of purpose and hope in their schools.
The week culminated in a Friday night gig led by LZ7, where 400 young people gathered and heard the gospel - many for the very first time.
In the weeks that followed, five Alpha Youth Hubs took place across the city, creating welcoming spaces for young people to explore faith, ask questions and discover more about Jesus.
For one young person, it was the start of a life-changing journey…

Tom* first came along to The Mix, a few weeks before the Schools Tour, when Lindz from LZ7 had joined us to speak. Tom recently said:
“It was the strangest thing. LZ7 were at The Mix, then the next week they turned up at my school, then I came to a concert at Woodies and they were here again!”
Following the Schools Tour and Friday night gig, Tom went along to one of the Alpha Youth Hubs and continued attending a local church youth group. Last month, just over a year after first coming to church, he got baptised!
