A very good afternoon at Speakers Corner, the weather was good and the locals friendly – lol
A couple of highlights, #1: when we gave a gospel of Luke to Sami a young Moslem man from the USA visiting this country, his face lit up with delight, “That’s the first time I have ever been given a book like this.” – pray that he will read it!
#2: An interesting conversation with Julian, a man in his 50’s, Western dress and at first not giving very much away, as the conversation developed I discovered he had been a Moslem for 20yrs converting from a Christian background. Good to remind him again of the uniqueness of Jesus Christ in the claims that he made, the miracles he performed and the the witness of those who encountered him.

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.

“Cut that pizza into six slices instead of eight, I ain’t that hungry.” – Yogi Berra

Well, the men ate plenty of this popular Italian dish!
The main course was to hear not eat – Face to Face with Steve Buckeridge who is a Chaplin at London’s Heathrow Airport.
Great to hear Steve share about life at Heathrow Airport and also shares about his Christian faith.

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.
