Andy Hodgkiss began part-time work with WASP in September 2009, increasing the team to two members. WASP is hoping to recruit its first full-time team next September (2010) and become established in Worcester City over the subsequent couple of years. This has been the goal from early on but is now becoming more streamlined. Ashley Vaughan will head up the team, train and mentor the interns, who will "in turn", mentor and train others with a bigger focus being placed upon mentoring in schools. Ashley will be looking to hand over the leadership of that team to one of the interns after a couple of years, having gradually given them more responsibility in the run-up. This is for God to deal with as He sees fit and in His perfect timing.
The idea is that the delegation of that team's affairs will allow Ashley more time to develop the academy by adding other teams to it in other parts of the Worcester Area. The main focus has been on secondary education up to now, but one idea may be to branch into both primary and further education, looking to build a specialist childrens team to take the gospel into primary schools and/or work alongside those organisations who are already doing this as well as to develop a ministry to college and university students in Worcestershire. On top of this we would love to see teams continuing to go into secondary schools, not only in Worcester itself but in Droitwich, Evesham, Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, Pershore, Redditch etc...
Beyond this we envision work being done to support the educational establishments within hospitals, prisons and adult education for the disabled, blind, deaf, autistic etc. Again, this type of work would need to involve specialist teams of those with particular giftings and callings towards that kind of work.
