“I had been going round to 'River Farm' for a couple of years. It has a great bunch of lads with the same heart as each other and I longed to live the adventure with them. I wanted to be round there all the time, and would stay most weekends and during the holidays.

It was a bit of a pull away from my parents when I moved, but both they and I knew it was the best thing for me and I was going on to something worthwhile.

Seeing other people baptised and moving in all around me has been inspiring; it's always well worth working through any difficulties we have with each other to make things work, seeing people eventually stick fast with us and move in.

We often stay up late because we can't help having late night deep brotherhood. My hopes for the future lie firmly with the people I'm with; building in others and seeing the community grow. There's really nowhere else I'd rather be."
