Good News Camp 2026 - Photo Bomb!

Today @ Speakers Corner

A surprise to see Mohammed Hijab (British Islamic preacher and YouTuber) in the park, and also Malik (Muslim YouTuber) & Itachi (female YouTuber), she took on the ‘ice-man’ Chris in debate, to which there was only one winner, and that winner was male!

The sun shone and the park was busy, highlight of the fat was a long chat with Franco, an Italian Roman Catholic, sadly, his knowledge of Catholic practices was much better than his knowledge of the Bible. Pray for him that the light of the gospel will break through into his religious darkness.

Evangelism @ Speakers Corner. Hyde Park. London.

“Ambassadors exist to deliver messages.”

Gordon has been a regular at Speakers Corner since 2021.
Note: He has no hatred towards Moslems, the issue is with the ideology of Islam! As a Christian he seeks to love all Muslims, while honestly engaging with the true nature of Islam.

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.
