Greater Bangor Area Street PastorsIt is with deep sadness that we received the news that our dear brother Josh, one of Ascension Trust’s very first American ATRs (Ascension Trust Representatives), has gone home to be with the Lord.Sharon and I often reflect on the precious time we spent with him and the rest of the team. We had the privilege of training him, walking with him, and witnessing first-hand the sincerity of his calling. His genuine passion for people was undeniable. Josh carried a pastoral heart that could be felt by anyone who sat across a table from him or served alongside him on the streets. He was a man who listened deeply, cared wholeheartedly, and loved without hesitation.Josh will be profoundly missed by all who had the honour of knowing him. His legacy of compassion, service, and quiet strength will continue to speak long after his earthly journey has ended.On behalf of Sharon and I, and the entire Ascension Trust family, we salute you, Street Pastor. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Amy, their children, their wider family and friends, and the whole Bangor Street Pastor team. We stand with you in prayer, love, and solidarity during this difficult time.May the grace of God the Son, the love of God our Father, and the comfort of the Holy Spirit surround and uphold every heart touched by this loss.Josh, until such time… may you rest in eternal peace.With love and honour, Eustace, Sharon, and the Ascension Trust Team ...

Please give a warm welcome to our brand new Rail Pastors made up of experienced Street Pastors from Sittingbourne joining the scheme that covers the Southeasten network. They had their very first patrol today and brought a great many smiles to commuters and Rail Staff. They have now joined this amazing project with Rail Pastors working in partnership with Southeastern. Looking out for those who feel vulnerable, alone, or just need a friendly face to show how much we care for everyone out and about. They supply hot drinks, sweets and special stickers that say “We love Trains 🚆”. They had a wonderful patrol continuing the mission of caring, listening and helping. Thank you team 🫡. Welcome guys! A shout out to all Rail Pastors throughout the UK. ❤️Matthew 5:16In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.#streetpastors #caringlisteninghelping #railpastors #ascensiontrust ...
