The next Big Winter Sleepout is on 24 February 2024. Register to take part now.
LCM’s Big Winter Sleepout is not just any other sponsored sleepout, it is an event that opens your eyes to the plight of many in London – and reveals God’s goodness and plan for us all.
“As much as we think we've gone through bad stuff in life, someone out there's always gone through worse. It just made me realise, wow, God's actually pulling people out, all of us, out of this darkness”.
Marc, Sleepout participant
Marc came to last year's Big Winter Sleepout to escort his sister Louise who was taking part. During the course of the evening as he listened to the stories at Webber Street, our day centre for people who are homeless, – stories of lives changed by the love of Jesus, the Holy Spirit was breaking down the walls he had built around his heart.
“It was amazing. We got there and everyone was loving and welcoming. There was someone singing there with the guitar. And that's when I sort of broke. I could feel his pain through his music.”
Marc ended up giving his life to Jesus that night surrounded by other participants who prayed and rejoiced with him.
His sister Louise was overjoyed and ended up raising over £1,000 for the people who are homeless in London.
Watch the video below to see the difference your taking part can make in the life of a person experiencing homelessness.
