Walking in the Word was the theme of this year’s Word Alive Bible convention which was held at Pontins Holiday Park, Prestatyn Sands, North Wales.
Thousands of Christians heard main speaker Paul Mallard, from Widcombe Baptist Church in Bath, and others including Garry Williams, Lix Cox and Steve Midgeley. Worship leaders for the evening celebrations were Olly Knight and Joyful Noise. There were also film nights, comedy, drama, ‘silent disco’, and interactive celebrations especially suitable for people with learning disabilities.
A CU student track offered training and seminars aimed specifically at undergraduates, while there was also a specially prepared programme for those aged three months to 18 years. Targeted one-to-one support was offered for children and youth with additional needs. There were reported to be more than 1,200 children at the event overall.
