On Friday evening we met once more at Leicester Square for a time of ministry. The team consisted of Philip, my brother James, Carl, Andrew, and a friend of his named Jannah, who attends the same church. Friday night, was, for all intensive purposes, a very difficult night. Because of the extremely low temperature we all knew it was going to be a tough one. When we arrived at our usual spot we encountered yet more difficulties. Mark, the artist I have mentioned before, had clearly decided in his mind that enough was enough. He was not going to let us preach.After speaking with the police officers about the situation I realised that to minister in the same vicinity as Mark was simply not going to work. We had lost a considerable amount of time already in trying to avoid him as best we could, and seeing that it simply was not going to work, we moved back over to the spot we have used previously, on the opposite side of the promenade. Carl stood up to preach and preached a solid gospel message. It was very cold and so the team moved about speaking to people in an attempt to keep warm.
Our display table consisted of free Bibles, tracts and also some DVD’s of The Jesus Film. The DVD allows you to choose from twenty-four languages and so it was such a blessing to be able to give away this DVD in such a multi-cultural city like London.
We all had some good conversations with people and we gave away a good number of tracts. I was grateful to the Lord that we were able to minister the gospel despite the cold and the resistance we received.
Soli Deo Gloria!
