    Step across the threshold and the clock seems to run on a different time. The sense of his presence is somehow...

    I’ve only been to Focus twice but both times were amazing.

    My younger sister had gone before I did and she invited me along.

    When I first got to HTB I heard about an opportunity to get involved with the production side of things as a volunteer and I jumped right on that....

    Faces of Focus

    by Tilly Hawkins on 28 March 2012

    I have been to every single Focus there has ever been – so I think this will be my 21st year!

    I have come through all the children’s and youth groups.  The first one I remember properly was when I was 7.

    Faces of Focus

    by Pat Allerton on 12 March 2012

    I’m pretty sure that I’m celebrating double figures for Focus this year...

    I went for the first time in 2001 and I think I’ve only missed one.

    I tried to book on a little too late that first time and they only let me come once I promised to volunteer with the...

    Iraq- Church Prayer Meeting with a Focus

    by Zac Crawley on 08 November 2011

    When were you last persecuted for going to church? When was the last time your life was in danger whilst you were raising your arms in worship to God?

    I imagine, like me, that has never happened or at least not in this country.

    by Zac Crawley on 01 November 2011

    AIDS kills around 6,000 people in sub-Saharan Africa every day, more than flood, famines and wars! Around 16 million children have been orphaned by HIV, almost 15 million of these live in sub-Saharan Africa.
