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.

Evangelism @ Speakers Corner. Hyde Park. London.

“Freedom is hammered out on the anvil of discussion, dissent, and debate.” – Hubert H. Humphrey

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.

Great to meet up with the Good News Camp team from 2025, plus a few newcomers who are planning to help in 2026.
Team meal a chance to share memories, enjoy some good food (Thanks to our Camp Cooks, Maureen & Lou), pray together and focus our thoughts towards the summer.

THOUGHTS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF CHRISTIAN CAMPS:

Salvation: Helping young people understand the Christian faith and giving them the opportunity to respond to the claims of Christ.

Spiritual Acceleration & Ignition: “What happened in a week at camp would have taken a year of going to Bible study every Wednesday night… Camp sparks them to have questions or to want to learn more”.
Immersive Environment: Camp provides a “sanctuary where spiritual seeds are planted and watered,” away from “the distractions of life”.

Authentic Community: Camp offers a “supportive community of peers and mentors” and a place to experience “God’s love and power” alongside friends.

Faith Formation: It’s a place to “discover spiritual renewal,” “grow up in your salvation,” and learn to “surrender,” fostering deeper understanding and commitment.

Character & Resilience: Outdoor challenges build “resilience, grit, and growth,” forming “character the world needs more of”.

Nature as a Teacher: Experiencing God’s creation helps campers see His “eternal power and divine nature,” feeling “closer to God than ever before”.

“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.
