I recently went for a walk through a woodland area near my house. The sun was punching its way though the leaves, there was a cacophony of birdsong and I could smell the woodchip under my feet.

I’m not sure Paul had this in mind when he talked about being “fools for Christ”… I am now half-way through my 90 hours of being dressed as an elephant in order to raise sponsorship money for Student Linkup- that’s the vital work Fusion do to find and connect thousands of Christian school leavers to new churches when they go to...
