About Activate

Welcome to the new look Activate-your-life website. As a new-style organisation, but one with a 40 year history, it would have been so easy to fill this site with content, drawing from quality resources we have produced over many years. But we want most of this site to be new, fresh and created by you, our network of supporters. Our aim is to build a site that offers stimulating articles, fun ideas and challenging topics for discussion. We need you to join in and help us to grow our site by posting articles - or even posting a regular blog; joining in forum discussions, voting in polls, or simply telling others about useful resources you've discovered.

Of course there are many resources for Christians available today, but we feel that Activate-your-life takes a unique approach because we encourage 'ordinary', individual Christians to be active, we know that you can be effective just by being yourself. We'd like to encourage you to join our community of 'girls getting out there' sharing God's love in natural, meaningful ways.

We are not asking for annual membership fees and we won't send reminders, but we do need supporters to donate to keep our website going and to help us develop the resources, ideas and articles that make Activate Your Life special. We want to keep organising a weekend away and we would like to continue to develop events for training and modelling around the country. Please donate using the paypal button on the homepage underneath the events calendar. Every pound is greatly appreciated!

Who are we and what do we believe?

Activate-your-life exists to encourage, resource and inspire Christian woman to ‘with-reach’ their friends, neighbours, work colleagues and relatives with God’s love. It enables women to be secure in their identity, living life as Jesus intended it in all its fullness and at the heart of their community, creating innovative and natural opportunities, openings and friendships. Our aim is to be creative, forward thinking and always stretching the boundaries of how Christian women can be salt and light in a fluid society.

Our objectives are

• Our supporters will keep catching the vision that ‘withreach’ is about relationships, friendships, involvement in the issues that matter and being in the places where things are happening.
• Activate events are free from cringe. They should be culturally sensitive and topically engaging and be filled with more than 40% of people who don’t yet know life in all its fullness through a relationship with Jesus.
• We commit to facilitating a website that is full of inspirational ideas and serves as a forum for like minded women to network and connect with each other.
• We commit to organise a conference at least once a year that energises our supporters and enables networking, backed up by regional workshops that offer training and modelling.

Activate-your-life is an evangelistic, evangelical, interdenominational, para-church charity that exists primarily for those who have never heard of us and don’t care what most of those words mean. As well as our president and two directors, we have a 'Dream Team' of willing and talented volunteers who meet with us six times a year in London. Together we brain storm, discuss, thrash out detail and endeavour to think out of the box. Some of the Dream Team are gifted public speakers and are willing to travel round the country sharing their inspiring message and bringing with them the flavour of Activate Your Life.

If you would like to find out more about them or book them to come to your area then look them up on our resources section.
