Giving thanks for God’s Provision in our 2024 Jubilee year
Revive 2024 was an incredible week where many people were able to gather together in one place to lift up the name of the Lord. It was in many ways the centrepiece of Ichthus’ Jubilee celebrations, marking the start of Ichthus in 1974 by Roger and Faith Forster.
This time last year we felt the Lord speaking to us about a RADICAL pricing system for campers, and so for Revive 2024 we extended the ‘Camping Jubilee invitation’ as an expression of God’s heart for all to be invited and gathered. This enabled campers to book into Revive for 10% of the usual cost, and then give a freewill offering above this. It was a MASSIVE step of faith and could have left us with a deficit of £105,000.
The incredible news is Revive 2024 has covered it’s costs, as well as having a small surplus which will be used for next year to bless young people and those on low incomes to come to Revive.
This is because of your wonderful generosity and God’s miraculous provision. We are so thankful to the Lord for all he has done!
