Mission

My experience of sharing the gospel with the homeless is mixed. It can be difficult because you want to show compassion and genuine concern for their physical wellbeing, but more importantly, you want to get the gospel to them.

The Love Britain + Ireland Awards are designed to recognise outstanding acts of Christian faith and love in our communities.

Danny first came to us on the high street 4 years ago. A committed atheist, […]
