I love West Cork and being apart of what God’s doing here. I’m a 5th year student in Bandon Grammar School and in the past 18 month we have seen God work afresh in our lives.

There is such a hunger and desire for more of God amongst so many young leaders. All this has been rooted in prayer not only by the youth but also within the Christian Community in Bandon.

On the 7-15th of December we opened a prayer room to our school. Our purpose for this prayer room was to show God’s love to all students. There was a reassurance in our hearts and a confidence that God was in control. Based in an old shower room, God had his hand on our school and blessed the lives of many. The Theme was ‘Why Jesus?’ and there was 6 station all focused on different creative ways in praying to God.

We are still blown away to see how God’s working in our school, there was an acceptance by staff and students. A silence of shock and amazement filled the room as people entered. The prayer room was on the mouths of most students, telling their Friends to come and see for themselves.  ‘What a powerful and gracious God we have’. Opportunities were created for people to know God in their lives. By the end of the week and two days 12 students accepted the Lord into their lives.
I can often loose sight on how Big God is, but I have learnt a lot from the prayer room and how God can transform my school.
