In this week's video, Simon reflects on the gift of encouragement. He reminds us to consider the example of St Barnabas who encouraged St Paul in the spreading of the gospel by the early church.

He also reminds us to think about those who led us to faith in Jesus Christ and how we can encourage others and lead them to Christ.

He asks how we might return the encouragement to those who brought us to faith by sending them a letter, email or text this week to say thank you!
