SHINE is a 3-week video resource designed to equip Chirstian young people to live for God at School and provide opportunities for others to explore the Christian faith for themselves. SHINE is a partnership between Crown Jesus Ministries, Scripture Union NI, Logos Ministries International, Scripture Union England and Wales, Scripture Union Ireland and Scripture Union Scotland. A new 3-part film series is produced each year, focused on a different theme. This year the theme of SHINE is ‘Known.’ 

 

While the resource can be used at any time of the year, SHINE has been created to run in school and church groups during the month of November. We love the idea of many groups across the UK and Ireland running SHINE at the same time, encouraging one another and sharing stories of what is happening. However, we understand that a specific month may not suit everyone, so please do not feel restricted.

What do young people think of this resource?

SHINE is one of our most popular resources for secondary school aged young people! Feedback has shown that the resource is relevant and in-touch with reality for young people. It is a great opportunity for them to explore the bible further as it speaks into their lives and leaves a lasting impact.  

 

One pupil described running Shine and said that one of the difficulties they faced was “managing the number of students and finding a space big enough!”
