PAST CHILDHOOD TRAUMA, NOW OPENING UP TO JESUS
Five years ago, an older, disabled man called Joe* arrived at
our centre in Dagenham and quietly sat in the background.
SERVING THE HOMELESS COMMUNITY IN A CRISIS
When lockdown was announced back at the end of March,
our day centre for homeless people had to dramatically change
– and fast.
ABUSED AND VULNERABLE, BUT GROWING IN CHRIST
James* had a difficult relationship with church. He was
diagnosed with autism and schizophrenia and after going to a
church for many years, in his 20s he became involved in a cult
where he had negative and damaging experiences.
But our missionary Shane knew none of this when he first
met James, and starting running Bible studies with him and
his friends. As trust grew between the group, James’ story
emerged, and in time Shane invited him to church.
TURNING TO CHRIST IN THE PANDEMIC
Five years ago, missionary Olly met a young medical student,
Anna*, while he was doing street evangelism at a Hounslow
book table. He walked with her along the high street and told
Anna about Jesus.
THE MUSLIM WOMEN JOURNEYING TOWARDS JESUS
Samira*, a young Pakistani mum-of-three, used to creep in
the side entrance to our centre in East London and send a text
to our worker when she was safely in the office.
SUPPORTING FAMILIES, PRAYING FOR LIFE-CHANGE
Fifteen-year-old Tristan* had a tough start in life. He never
knew his father and was expelled from his local secondary
school. Growing up in the shadow of Grenfell Tower, he lost
friends in the devastating fire three years ago.
A new chapter for Husk
If you have been lucky enough to walk through the doors of the Husk Café in recent years, you will have enjoyed more than just an exceptional cup of coffee. The space has provided an escape from busy east London life as well as an outlet to share the gospel in amazingly creative and effective ways.
A TRIBUTE TO REV DUNCAN WHYTE
It with sadness that we share the news that Rev Duncan Whyte, former General Secretary of London City Mission, went to be with the Lord peacefully on 3rd August 2020, aged 94 years.
