Our Vision

The Higher Tour seeks to boldly proclaim the gospel to young people and see them supported and encouraged as they start their journey of faith alongside the local church.

The Higher Tour begins in schools. Our mission teams will spend a day in each school taking lessons and assemblies, drawing on our 27-year history of representing the Christian faith clearly and authentically in an educational context.

Following the schools’ days are evangelistic gigs– perfect for inviting young people and their friends. These will feature a clear presentation of the gospel and an opportunity to respond and be connected to a church.

The local church is at the heart of the Higher Tour. We long to see young people engaged in a healthy Christian community as they begin their journey of discipleship. After a young person makes a decision to follow Christ during the Higher Tour, our goal is that they would be quickly connected with a youth worker from one of our partner churches

It's all about discipleship

Throughout the whole process of the tour, we hope to build a substantial relationship opportunity for the local church to connect and build something ongoing with their local school. We believe if this is possible, running follow-up in schools is always going to be the best initial link point for young people after the gig.

Our suite of follow-up resources will come in to play here, and we will equip you with everything you’ll need to run sessions in both schools and youth groups. Hopefully allowing for maximum chances for every young person to make that transition from choosing to follow Jesus at an event to continue to follow him for the rest of their lives.

Higher Sessions is a six-week course aimed at new Christians. It’s perfectly placed to help a young person who chose to follow Jesus at a Higher event understand what their decision means for life.

They are designed and can be adapted to be run in a school setting, as well as in a youth group. The content can be run solely by you or alternatively, be partially delivered through our accompanying video content.

The Higher Bible is a pocket-sized full copy of the New Living Translation (NLT) with 20 pages of specially commissioned articles introducing the big story of scripture and showing how it relates to our lives. This will be available for all groups running follow-up sessions after a tour.

Coventry gig

A young girl who was part of CLM brought her Catholic friend to the Coventry gig night. Her friend responded to the gospel and was handed her response bags with the bible in, and she could not believe that she had a copy of the bible for herself! In her house the bible was up on a shelf, used more like a piece of art/family heirloom that was not to be touched.

School day in Solihull

We had a group of young people come and talk to one of the team in Birmingham who said they have been in a school day in Solihull. Obviously curious why they decided to come to the Birmingham event they told us that 2 of them had gone to Solihull and made a response. They had then gone home, found out where they could go to get more and convinced their friends to come with them. Their friends all made responses to the gospel and they were telling the team on Friday in Birmingham clutching response bags.

Enable

Enable (our new disability focused mission team on people with seen and unseen disabilities) team leader John Williams joined Amongst Wolves on a schools day. They had a great day doing music and sharing with people with disabilities. One of the young
people came to the event in Coventry and made a response to the Gospel. This is our first young person with disabilities that we know about making a commitment though Higher!
