Update 30/05/15

Bold Street on Saturday morning was an encouraging time. Our '30 Day Challenge' seems to attract attention and  a man in his late 30's walked past then walked back, and hesitated before picking up a New Testament. He said it was just what he needed. On talking further he said he knew very little about the Bible but was just getting into things. He was happy to give his e mail for follow up and he thought the 30 day reading scheme would be really helpful.
Similarly a mature lady was thrilled to be able to have a New Testament with some guidance in it. She wanted to pay for it but we are keen to keep money out of this! Again this lady was happy to give contact details so we can see how she has got on.
A younger man of Middle Eastern origin looked quite troubled and he said he had a lot going on in his head. He was drawn to a booklet we have on forgiveness, it was a brief conversation but we felt God was in it and that the booklet would help him. He seemed quite troubled but gave us a lovely smile as he left.

This week's programme:

Wednesday 3rd June afternoon, Lord Street, Southport. Exact location and time to be confirmed.
Friday 5th June, 11.00am to 12.30pm. Bold Street, Liverpool. Opposite Greggs.

My first attempt at uploading a video does not seem to have worked, which is fortunate for those who view this blog; and it is encouraging to see how many people do.
We have obtained some New Testaments (ESV version) which are well presented with excellent notes and helps and at a price which means we can give them away. We are issuing a '30 Day Challenge' to anyone who wants a New Testament: there is a 30 day reading plan in the Testament which gives a good overview of major teachings and we are asking people to follow the plan and agree to us contacting them to see how they got on and if they have any questions. It was really encouraging on our first time with the 'Challenge' on Bold Street that two ladies came up individually and were very keen to have a New Testament and readily agreed to being followed up.

This week's programme:
Thursday 28th. 11.00am-12.30pm Bold St Liverpool.
Saturday 30th.     ..             ..          ..            ..

Next week's  activity to follow soon.

This week's update.

We succeeded in doing three sessions last week. Thursday in Bold Street was lively with ten significant conversations. Friday afternoon was the first time we have done anything in Birkenhead and was very much a 'testing the water' exercise. It was very busy in Bold Street on Saturday afternoon and we had moved to the sunny side of the street, this all made it harder for people to stop. Nevertheless Rob had a challenging talk with an ardent socialist and we were able pray with Christian man who is going through a difficult patch.
We are grateful for God's grace and the opportunity to make a stand for the Lord Jesus Christ.

This week: Friday 22nd 11.00 am to 1.00 pm. Bold Street, Liverpool.

Welcome to this blog! My wife, Pauline, and I have been following the Lord Jesus Christ for more than forty years now and it all started through reading the Bible out of curiosity. We have found there is nothing more important in life than finding out the truth about Jesus and what he has done for us by dying on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. It is this knowledge that makes us want to share the good news with others, and this blog is part of what we are doing to achieve this.
We  will be spending time on the streets of Merseyside offering copies of John's Gospel and New Testaments to anyone who wants to find our more about the Lord Jesus, and, of course, we shall be happy to talk to anyone about the Christian message.
We want to use this blog as a means of letting people know where we will be on a weekly basis and also to share items of news.
