Monday...art, a boat, fire drill and the Gospel

Our day started bright and early with our group devotion time where we prepared our hearts and minds for the day.  We divided into our groups, with each walking a different area of the borough of Camden.  We prayed for God to open doors of opportunity to engage people in conversation.  All three groups were able to have meaningful conversations that led to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

While walking into a art gallery one group met Jessica.  She was raised going to church, but had not been in many years, was given the truth of the Gospel and shared that it was the first time in her life that Christianity finally made sense.  Praise God that the truth was unveiled to her!  

One group had been praying for the opportunity to talk to college students outside a local university.  In previous walks our group was never allowed in the building and common areas however, today, when this group walked by, a fire drill went off and forced all the students outside.  We were able to have many meaningful conversations with people of various ages.  

Another group was walking along the canal in Camden Town and struck up a conversation with a man who they learned had fallen on hard times and was living on his brother's boat.  They were able to bring him a hot breakfast, some money and a Bible with hopes that he'll join us to worship at King's Cross Baptist Church Wednesday night.  

We ended the day with a nice dinner in the heart of London and then began a prayer walk around St. Paul's Cathedral, across Millennium Bridge, to City Hall, up to Tower Bridge and then to London Tower.  It was a lovely night, with beautiful sights, but we were reminded that beauty is not in things that are made by man, but that are made by God.

It has been an amazing gift to see how God directs our steps to areas in need of intercessory  prayer and to people who are needing to hear the Good News.

We appreciate your commitment to pray for our group as we continue to reach the lost of London.  Please continue to pray for our energy, focus, dependency on God, and for open doors to share the gospel and connect people to Kings Cross.

Enjoy some pictures of the day...





Cheerio!
