Every year Christian Concern runs an academy for young people called the Wilberforce Academy, named after the famous reformer William Wilberforce. It’s a four-day residential course to train and equip the invited students on what it means to proclaim Christ in public life. It is the academy’s desire to raise up the next generation of Christian leaders to take a bold stand for Christ within their spheres of influence. Just as God blessed Wilberforce and his fellow reformers it is hoped that God will mightily use those being trained. The course has proved very popular, with great potential impact on our nation, and Christian Concern is now developing a network to encourage Wilberforce graduates to build relationships and connect for the future. They have a passion to serve Jesus in law, politics, education, media, arts and business; please pray for them.
