We had the most wonderful day at our 20th birthday party on Saturday - thank you to everyone who joined us, joined in, affirmed us, prayed for us, donated - you're all wonderful! We wanted to make sure you enjoyed it too, so we asked some of you to tell us what you thought...
So pleased we were able to join
your 20th birthday celebrations on Saturday afternoon. It was great to mark and
celebrate the tremendous work you do in schools and with children in this area.
Thank you Zephaniah Trust for inviting Stewart Henderson - I've been a fan
since I first heard him perform when I was at school, so it was particularly
moving for me to fast forward several decades and now see my six-year-old son
enjoying and engaging with his poems. All in all, a lovely occasion and of
course, I've had John's fab songs going round my head for the rest of the
weekend!

I was dragged
along by my daughter; however, it was lovely to see so many people I knew and I
thoroughly enjoyed much of it! It was a "one of a kind" type of
experience; just as Zephaniah is unique.

I really liked the children's comments on the video -
showed their energy and humour which is such an important part of the work
which Zephaniah Trust is involved in.

My review might be slightly biased but for me the best things of the evening were those provided by John and the band, but particularly the story that Julie told, which was for me a kingdom moment. Keep up the good work! Also it was interesting being in the film as the straight man - a first for me!
Colin Blake, Trustee
The highlight for
me was watching so many children singing and doing the actions to the songs & watching the video of the children in school, It was a wonderful afternoon
with so many people enjoying themselves, well done Zephaniah.

I was introduced to Zephaniah Trust in October and learnt
so much more on Saturday about the great work you are doing in the schools.
Really looking forward to Zephaniah 'bringing the Light' into my school next
term, when you will have your first assembly with us. The highlight of Saturday
has to be the amazing children speaking with such enthusiasm about your work in
their schools. Thank you so much for what you are doing amongst the children in
our city. Look forward to seeing what the next 20 years brings!

That was a
fantastic Praise Party this afternoon. I had a great time. And it was great to
meet up with the whole team. BUT: THAT WILL BE THE LAST TIME THAT YOU EVER SEE

It
was great to come on Saturday afternoon and see not just the kids but the mums
and dads (and grannies and granddads and aunties and uncles!) as well. It
reminded me of how much joy you bring into the life of so many in the
district. Now if you could only get rid of some of the “earworm” songs
that keep going round my head at 3am it would be wonderful! With
grateful thanks to John, Julie, Sheena and Jenny for all that you do.
