More violence in the park at Speakers Corner!
Sad to say the Timothy was viciously attacked at the Corner. The coward punched him so badly that he became concussed, blood was all over his shirt. After being treated in the park, Timothy was taken to hospital. Fred one of the camera men chased after the thug who injured Timothy, in the process of chasing him, Fred was also punched in the face resulting in swelling and a black eye!
Glad to say the man was caught. NOTE: he punched two people and no handcuffs as the police escort him to their car – why?

When the police arrived, they sealed off the area for the rest of the day, this divided the corner into two parts with the middle section sealed off.
This event destroyed what started out as a profitable day, some people stayed but many drifted off home.

At the time of the incident, I was having a really good conversation with a Moslem man called Hashim, but the incident ended that, The day will be remembered for yet another unnecessary act of violence!
Please pray for Timothy this week, he will probably need dental work and it will no doubt have shaken his confidence!

Speakers Corner in London’s Hyde Park is the oldest free speech platform in the world. People won the right to speak in mass protests in the 1860s and early 1870s. Some people believe the tradition is connected to the right of the condemned to a last speech before being hung at the Tyburn gallows, a practice that stopped at the end of the 18th century. Every Sunday people from all sorts of convictions come to Hyde Park in the afternoon to spread their message or to have fun.

Preaching this morning at West End Chapel.

Where: St Annes Grove, Fareham PO14 1JX
Time: 10.00am
Bible Passage: Hebrews chapter 11 verses 32-40

Let me start by telling you a God-incident! When I arrived my colleague Mark was talking to a Moslem Man (called Mohammed), and he was quoting the words of Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount, a cyclist who was passing through the park and not intending to stay, heard the quotation and stopped saying, “Are those the words of Jesus?” Mark replied yes, he dismounted and joined in the conversation, the cyclist (Michael) was a committed Christian and along with Mark spent almost two hours answering questions and sharing the gospel. Afterwards Mark came to tell me what happened, I was chatting to Ray (an atheist) at the time, so he also head the story of the ‘God-instance, now I have often spoken top Ray about football etc, but we have never really had a good spiritual chat, so I was able to seize the moment and link what Mark shared with the story of Acts chapter 8, Philip overhearing the Ethiopian eunuch reading the prophet Isaiah and stopping to explain it. “God moves in a mysterious ways.”
Pray for Mohammed & also Ray (photo 1 – Mohammed, Mark & Michael).

A pretty average kind of day in the park, a slow start before it began to fill up, the usual arguments and the odd profitable conversation. Today, Pastor John Sherwood (photo 3) grabbed me and said, “Your preaching next!” and so I enjoyed a short gospel preach on the ladder, spoken in open airs before but this was my first time at Speakers Corner.
