Easter Monday will see a youth pilgrimage take place at Canterbury Cathedral where a new global gap year initiative will also be launched.

The annual event organised by the Canterbury Diocese will see young people coming together over the Easter break to consider how they can be useful for God's kingdom and their generation.

Up to 1,000 young people will take part in the pilgrimage on Monday when they can renew themselves "in their walk with God" and explore the many opportunities they have to do something positive in their generation.

Mark Russell, CEO of Church Army, will join the event to remind young people that anyone can be used by God.

Russell says, "Throughout the Bible, we see God uses people who are far from perfect, whether David, Noah, Moses, Peter, Paul, or Solomon....and that means he can use us too.

"Ordinary men and women at Church Army have been making a difference since 1882 and we're about communicating the unchanging message of an unchanging God to a fast-changing culture and new generation of young people.

"Seeing young people give up their Easter bank holiday to make a difference is really encouraging and it brings to life what we're trying to achieve with our new gap year programme which focuses on how important it is for young people to commit to mission."
