There is a deep strength in being known.
Not just noticed, not just busy or needed—but truly seen. Known by God, who formed us. Known by others, who walk with us. And known by ourselves, as we grow in wisdom, confidence, and grace.
Breathe 2026 is an invitation to step into that knowing. Inspired by Luke 2:52—where Jesus grew in wisdom, stature, and favour - We will gather together to understand and know more about ourselves and each other.
Through sessions focusing on our Relational, Physical, Mental and Spiritual wellbeing, Breathe 2026 will be a weekend of connection, worship, and honest discovery.
You are not forgotten in the crowd.
You are known.

Bekah is a mum, a friend and a Bibi (Granny); relationships matter to her. She has worked as a teacher, youth worker, and church leader. She writes, speaks, and lectures about family, faith, and flourishing. Fundamentally, she loves helping people know who God created them to be and step into his plans.
In 2020, these passions led her to Restored, an organisation committed to speaking up about violence against women, equipping the church to stand against domestic abuse and supporting survivors. It’s a job which brings together everything she loves most, helping women rediscover their identity and encouraging the church to challenge and change a culture which damages women and men alike.
Partners
OCC - Samaritan’s Purse
We’re thrilled to launch a new partnership with Operation Christmas Child—a project of Samaritan’s Purse that shares the Good News of Jesus with millions of children around the world. How? It all starts with a gift-filled shoebox. Packed and prayed over by supporters here in the UK, each box becomes a powerful mission tool for churches overseas.
Last year alone, over 11 million shoebox gifts were sent to more than 100 countries. Partner churches hosted joyful outreach events where children received the gifts, the Gospel was shared, and children were invited to take part in The Greatest Journey—a 12-lesson Bible discovery course. Amazingly, 3.2 million of these children made decisions to follow Jesus!
We’re excited to share this wonderful project with you and encourage you to connect with our friends from Samaritan’s Purse at next month’s Breathe Conference. To learn more or get involved, visit www.samaritanspurse.org.uk.
