Choose to Lose Your Bed!
Campaign by Open Doors (RCN 1125684)
Choose to Lose your bed to raise money and prayer for young Christians around the world who, in choosing Jesus, have lost nearly everything.

Story

Together we climbed Everest and Mount Olympus! A confined height of 11,767m. Thank you all for your support!

CCC Youth (TNY, FNY, TCYC and S&F) are choosing to lose their beds for a few nights to raise money and prayer for Christians around the world who are being forced to leave their beds – and their homes, schools, jobs, livelihoods and communities – simply because of their faith in Jesus.

We're raising money in 3 ways:

1) Getting sponsored to give up our beds on Friday and Saturday night (Friday at home and Saturday camping in the church hall).

2) Getting sponsored to 'mountain climb' by doing loops of the church stairs.

3) Bake cakes on Saturday to be sold at the CCC gathering on Sunday. 

Here is some more info from Open Doors:

Around the world courageous people are choosing to follow Jesus, knowing that in doing so, they will lose. Their choice might mean loss of family, friends, home, income and security. And for some there is a greater cost - the loss of freedom, or even their life.

In 2023, 278,716 Christians who were forced to flee or go into hiding. In Nigeria, Christians are regularly leaving behind their homes and villages due to violence and targeted attacks.

In choosing to lose our beds, we want to raise money and prayer to support those who are giving it all to keep following Jesus.

Please sponsor us!
