IYC 2020: HOPE WHEN LIFE HURTS
Saturday 21st November 2020 (2:30-8:30pm)
Speaker: Trevor Pearce
Trevor grew up in Chessington and became a Christian at the age of 12 while on a youth camp. He left school at the age of 15 and worked in the construction industry before spending five years working in a school with children who had severe learning difficulties. Since then Trevor has spent over 25 years as a full-time youth worker in a number of cities and currently works at All Souls Church in London. Trevor is married to Eva and they have three beautiful daughters. He supports West Ham United.
There are going to be 3 talks during the day to help teenagers.
You can book your tickets here when plans are firmed up at the special early-bird rate of £12
Being a teenager definitely isn’t easy! Pressure seems to come from all quarters; the need to excel academically, the need to be accepted, the need to belong, and so on. Yet, we must not let our young people buy into the lie that these are their greatest needs. For as with young people from every generation and every culture their greatest need is to have their relationship with their heavenly Father restored. The glorious gospel of Jesus Christ is the answer to that universal need, and it is that gospel which we will seek to have proclaimed at every Irish Youth Convention. Wouldn’t it be great to see many young people find the solution to their greatest need through the preaching of the gospel at IYC? Wouldn’t it be amazing to see many more grow in confidence in that Gospel?
If you’re a parent please consider sending your child(ren) along to IYC? If you’re a youth leader why not bring a group? If you’re a teenager pester your parents and/or youth leaders, and we’ll see you at the Irish Youth Convention!
Yours in Christ,

About IYC
The Irish Youth Convention is an interdenominational group of evangelical Christians, with a desire to see generations of young people raised up to be disciple making disciples of Jesus Christ. The IYC committee shares the basis of faith of Christian Conventions. Above all, IYC shares the belief that “all Scripture is God breathed” and is “useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3: 16). Our desire is to see God’s Word communicated faithfully, clearly and creatively so that generations of young people are raised up to live out their Christian faith in their homes, their schools, their local churches and in the wider community.
Committee Members:
Also John Roger and Beth Warburton
