Spring Harvest Expresses Regret at End of Word Alive Partnership

Spring Harvest has expressed its regret over the end of the Word Alive partnership which had brought the ministry together with Keswick Ministries and the Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship in leading a week of intensive Bible study for the last 14 years.

Word Alive had grown over the years to become one of the most established and highly anticipated Bible events in the calendar, taking place each year during Spring Harvest's Bible study week at Butlins to a consistently large student audience. The last ever Word Alive finished earlier in the month.

Bishop Pete Broadbent, on the Spring Harvest Leadership Team, issued a statement today in which he said: "The partnership has been a fruitful one and we thank God for the way he has worked through this event over the years."
