Evangelism @ Speakers Corner. Hyde Park. London.

“Our business is to present the Christian faith clothed in modern terms, not to propagate modern thought clothed in Christian terms. Confusion here is fatal.” – J. I. Packer

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 spead their message or to have fun.

Back to Zoom today for 3 training sessions with the Counties ETP (Evangelists Training Programme).

Experience, isn’t that the things you learnt from your mistakes? I should have plenty to say then!

At 6.50pm just 2 young people downstairs in the building, at 7.05pm the place was packed, it’s a great encouragement when you stand up to speak and every chair is filled, never tire of having to find extra chairs!

Thanks to the team for the games, the World Focus spot and washing up and hoovering afterwards!

‘BodyBuilders’ Extra for Pizza and Bible Study also went well, the young people came down the stairs with Pizza in hand and chewing so much all I got out of them was a grunt and a nod.
Please pray in the Word of God that was taught in both groups tonight!
