A GROUP of mJa Northampton's young men have been hanging out with a gang from a housing estate on the outskirts of town.

Equipped with a barbeque and the words of Jesus, they have been meeting up with these frustrated young people - with their potential so often overlooked - on a regular basis.

At the outset, reactions were mixed, but over the months they have developed a rapport with them.

Ben, one of these regular evangelists, comments:

"The guys we talk to have needs and want to find solutions. Life is real and very painful for some of them and we need to win their hearts and respect. Our aim is to get them into Jesus and let them see what our new creation culture is all about."
