What is it?

‘Good News’ Camps are packed with interest and provide excellent value for money. Campers are given the opportunity to explore new places, meet new friends, and take part in exciting activities! Organised Camp activities include onsite sports and art and craft sessions, plus trips into the New Forest, a jaunt to the beach and a splash in a nearby swimming pool. During ‘free time’ campers can just ‘chill out’ or use the onsite facilities e.g. snooker, table-tennis, volleyball, badminton, football and a variety of board games.
At the beginning of the week all campers are placed into teams and healthy competition is encouraged throughout the week. Teams will compete with each other in a whole range of fun based activities, scoring points and trying to make sure they are the team who will win the team prize at the end of the week!
Note: These Camps are Christian based. That means that each day all campers take part in various forms of Bible study and prayer. The main learning time takes place in an action packed, fast paced programme called ‘T.G.S.’ (The God Slot). This event includes singing, quizzes, Bible readings, competitions, prayers, fun spots, video stories and a short talk.

Noah’s Ark Toddlers and Babies group

Praise God that Noah’s Ark Toddlers and Babies group (held at Duncan Road Church) was very full this morning, about 50 today! Penny writes, “Pray that something of the Noah’s Ark story may have got thru’.”

Christian Polemist Hatun Tash is arrested!

Question: How do you keep things calm at Speakers Corner?
Answer: You arrest the victim and ignore those who committed the crime!

Hatun Tash is a well-known Christian preacher who regularly debates Islam and the Qur’an at Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park. She has faced threats to her life on multiple occasions for speaking, and was attacked and stabbed on 25 July 2021 for preaching at Speakers’ Corner, suffering wounds to her face and hand. Police have repeatedly failed to protect Hatun or make any arrests following her being assaulted and threatened. Instead, she herself has been arrested and detained overnight in a police cell for challenging Islam at Speakers’ Corner.

Hatun, an ex-Muslim and convert to Christianity, is director of the ministry Defend Christ Critique Islam, and has witnessed many Muslims turn from faith to Christianity. She is now being supported by the Christian Legal Centre and counter-terrorism are also investigating the case. Her case raises the question of whether the UK is implementing sharia law through the back door.


Speakers Corner

After a 2 week break it’s good to be back at Speakers Corner, Hyde Park, London for some one-to-one (or often one-to-eight) evangelism!
Jesus Christ did not say, “Go into all the world and tell the world that it is quite right.”

School Assemblies

A great priveledge to regually visit Sarisbury Church Of England Junior School Today is my second assembly of six in a row!
These weekly visits enable me to take a theme or teach at a deeper level, that due to time constraits is not be possible in a one-off assembly.
