Confident Disciples

23/04/2026

This Lent, over 300 people across London and beyond stepped into “Treasures of Darkness”, a journey exploring faith in places we often avoid: pain, mystery, and uncertainty.

Through honest reflection, shared stories, and prayer, participants discovered something powerful:

• God is present within life’s struggles
• Darkness does not have to be feared
• Growth often comes when we do not have all the answers

From deep conversations in local churches to personal breakthroughs, this journey reminded many that faith is not just learned - it is lived, together.
