As they say in football, “It was a game of two halves!”
The first couple of hours were dead, no-good conversations at all, not even an argument! It was just dead, no one interested in talking, then at ‘half-time’, it all changed and went ballistic!
A Moslem woman in full burka approached me with a question, you may be aware that Moslem woman rarely approach a Christian men in the park, but she went for it, one question after another, some questions bizarre, “Would you eat meat sacrificed to an idol?” to more tricky ones, “Why did Paul get Timothy circumcised in Acts chapter 16 if he no longer practiced the Law of Moses?” to some of the usual standard questions, “Jesus said only God is good, therefore Jesus is not God because he said, ‘don’t call me good?’” Over an hour later and we were still talking! Maybe because of the unusual situation, a Moslem woman in full burka questioning a Christian man, but soon we had a group of people surrounding us and listening in to the conversation, then when the women left, they took over, and several hours later, exhausted I headed home – a profitable day!

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.

evangelising in the background at Speakers Corner. Hyde Park. London – love sharing one-to-one, when there is no camera recording people engage differently, they are not trying to ‘look good’ for the online audience, and this means often more genuine conversations take place!

If you prayed for the assembly this morning, then your prayers were answered without delay! It is always great to share something of Jesus with 100’s of school children but the ‘icing-on-the-cake’ was a teacher who came to speak to me at the end of the assembly. She said, “I don’t normally sit in on Wednesday assemblies but this morning I felt I ought to stay, what you shared really spoke to me and it was just what I needed, I intend to come along to your Church on Sunday!”
Do pray that God will continue to speak into her life and situation and that Sunday will also be a blessing to her. Thanks once again for praying and for your partnership in the gospel.
