Same building, same presenters, different kids. Biggest number this year – lol. Lots of energy and noise and a rather sweaty smell as the young people enthusiastically played game after game. Thankyou to the regular team of helpers who ran the games and support this activity. Thanks also to Abi & Naomi for their input in the ‘World Focus’ spot, sharing about their mission trips to with CMI AID in Moldova.

• Purpose – ‘BodyBuilders’ exists to communicate the gospel to non-Christians and to ‘build up’ Christians in their faith by teaching them basic Christian truths.

• Networking – ‘BodyBuilders’ seeks to encourage young people
from a variety of Churches to mix together and to develop
friendships between churches and individuals.

• Encouraging – ‘BodyBuilders’ teaches young people to think beyond their own local situation, to show them God at work in and around the world and to engage them in supporting these individual missionaries and mission projects.

Great to have Abi & Naomi Watts with us tonight and tommorrow. This evening they shared a story at ‘Kids Klub’ and their testimonies at ‘Youth Club’. Tomorrow they are doing the ‘World Focus’ spot at ‘BodyBuilders’ Youth Event, sharing about the time at CMIAID in Moldova.

Stewardship: CLICK HERE – Evangelism, Hampshire – Gordon and Penny Curley

What: with Penny for two Assemblies.
Where: Sarisbury Green Junior School. Southampton.
Theme: New Year! New Beginnings!

A quieter day at the Corner in contrast to the last few weeks. Winter Wonderland is over and the 100′;s of people who passed through SC on route to WW are no longer around.
Not a great day for productive conversations, a few arguments and a few surface level chats but that’s about it!
The highlight was a short interview with an Instagram/Tick Tock channel, a chance to explain why I was there and to share a little of the gospel with anyone online who might stumble across it.

Evangelism @ Speakers Corner. Hyde Park. London.

“Evangelism is not a monologue, but a dialogue” – Jim George

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.

A very enjoyable day at , Hyde Park, London, today there was a buzz in the air and plenty of people wanting to chat and debate.
The highlight of the day was a Moslem couple, Elah & Valentino, Elah is studying Nori biology at Oxford University and Valentino a Computer wizard! Valentino knew his Bible well and had lots of genuine questions concerning prophecies in Matthew’s gospel and how the Septuagint (Greek Old Testament) translated them and referred to them in the New Testament, while Elah listened intensely and added her comments when appropriate. These are the encounters that make SC so special. Please pray that they will read for the literature they both took away with them.
