The Fellowship of Evangelical Workers Conference

A few days to ‘take in’ at The Fellowship of Evangelical Workers Conference 2025 (20th to 22nd) at Yarnfield Park Conference Centre, Staffordshire.

There will be three sessions of Bible Ministry from Martin Durham (K180) and other talks and seminars. Speakers include Amy Smith (Faith in Kids), Jeremy Thomas (historical lecture), Michael Ots (AofE & FEUER), Tony Brown (AofE & Reachout Trust), Pete Hodge (Open Air Campaigners). There should be plenty of food for thought and maybe even time to catch up with some friends who I haven’t seen since the previous conference!

A dull overcast day in the park but it did stay dry!
Usual mixture of arguments & conversations.

The best two of the day were…

Long debate with a Moslem man in an orange hat (sorry no names today), we spent a good 20-30 minutes on just one point from Luke chapter 5 verses 17-26 “Who can forgive sins but God alone?” he knew he had gotten himself trapped, but in his stubbiness refused to admit what the text actually said – pray that the Holy Spirit will bring light and understanding.

By contrast the other highlight was a lovely conversation with a Moslem man from Egypt, he had limited English but amazing how much receptive he was. He took a Gospel of John with contains QR codes to YouTube Bible clips, so if he can’t read the English he can watch The Gospel of John |(LUMO) and YouTube will provide Egyptian subtitles.

Evangelism @ Speakers Corner. Hyde Park. London.

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.
