As a result of united Evangelistic outreach in the town of Reading in 1973, a large number of young people confessed faith in the Lord Jesus. Follow up was placed in my hands – the idea of a weekend on church premises for teaching and training proved to be of great help, culminating in street witness on the Saturday afternoon. The title “Squat’n Learn” was used and later upon my move to Hull, we had another and there came a desire to teach young people and give training in witness.
Christian Youth Outreach was formed and operated countrywide – helping in Youth Festivals and seminars at Bible colleges and University Christian Unions countrywide.
As Director of Leeds City Mission, a team came into being, many of them continuing their training in CYO in other towns and cities. Derry O’Sullivan and Terry Holman both becoming Pastors, were in the forefront communicating well with gospel outreach by sketch board.

During CYO a number of visual leaflets (tracts) were published and used with great effect – especially amongst young people. Some are available see elsewhere.
