Evangelism @ Speakers Corner. Hyde Park. London.

“Jesus Christ did not say, ‘Go into the world and tell the world that it is quite right'” — C.S. Lewis

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.

Preaching today…

Where: Manor Road Evangelical Church. Guildford. GU2 9NR
When:11.30am
What: Believers Baptism –
Subject: ‘Not Ashamed!’
Bible Verse: Romans chapter 1 verse 16

Assemblies (x2) at Sarisbury Junior School. Southampton. Hants.
Theme: Communication
Bible story: John 1 verses 1&14

With Andy Godfrey taken ill with a sever case of man flue, it was time to use plan B.
I tried to avoid phrases like;

“Stay out of the black and into the red, Nothing in this game for two in a bed.”
“Look at what you could have won.”
“And Bully’s Special Priiiiize…”
“Now the cash you won for charity earlier… that’s safe.”
“Super, smashing, great.” (somewhat apocryphal)
“Iiiiiiin one…”
“You win nothing but your BFH… Bus Fare Home”

as we played our own version of the classic TV quiz game Bullseye.
No-one won a speedboat but I hope all who came enjoyed a good night out.

I spoke on the topic, “Hitting your target!” and with little time to prepare quiz and talk, I really felt God’s help in the message given.
