Sometimes new Christian communities do not begin with a large launch or a clear plan. They begin with a question: How does God want to meet people here?

When the Myriad Pathway began at St Barnabas North London, Vanessa Sachs was asking exactly that. Together with her team, she started Refresh — a midweek community for parents and carers — shaped by a simple desire: that people might encounter the love of God in the middle of everyday life.

In this short video, Vanessa reflects on how that community began to take shape. She also shares a small story of prayer with one mum — a reminder that God’s work often unfolds quietly and personally.
