Trevor and Thalia Blundell now work full-time encouraging and equipping people to teach the Bible to children, through leading training days and writing Sunday School materials.

EN: Did you go to Sunday School as youngsters?

Trevor: Yes, but very irregularly.

Thalia: No. I grew up in a pagan home.

Trevor: I went because some of my friends did and it was a great rumble. After some years, I joined the confirmation class/youth group (around 12 years old) and proceeded to run amok. Sunday School was boring and terrifying, especially when the end of term written examination was held and I had forgotten it was coming up.

EN: Were you converted as children?

Trevor: Alas, I was not converted until I was 19.

Thalia: When I was in my early teens, my mother started to go to the local Baptist church. She did this for a few years, during which time she decided my brothers and myself should go to church or Sunday School. A local GP and his wife ran a Bible class for teenagers. If you went for one month, you were entitled to go on the Easter holiday to Capernwray Hall. Some of my friends were going, so I tagged along. That Easter, I heard the gospel for the first time and I was converted.
