What would you ask?

This week Steve and I have seats in the Question Time Audience, it's the mayor of london special and is coming from Harold Hill. We are asked to prepare 2 questions, so what would you ask?

We asked this on Facebook and got some interesting thoughts. However what made me sad was the response of Christians how wanted us to ask heavy questions about giving Christians a break or protecting the right of Christians. I will not be asking a question about the church. I will be asking the following if given the opportunity.

"Several of the candidates accept responsibility for the Olympics, who wants to accept responsibility for changing the fact 1 of 4 children live in poverty in London?"

Why because...

a)nothing the church 'suffers' in the uk is compared to the suffering many innocent children experience.

b) Jesus looks after the church, not the mayor of london/ UK government.

c) Jesus and Paul seemed more concerned with Justice and the Gospel rather then and fate of the church.

d) suffering is something we suffer because of our Gospel and because we stand with those others exclude. To suffer is to follow Jesus.

It's not that i'm not concerned with the fate of the church, it's just as part of the church i think of others before myself!


Have a great day.

wow what a week


this last week has been amazing, kids club was great and we made more contacts had a great time and was supported by a great team.

The passover night was fantastic and we're got some really good feed back.

Good friday i joined a local churches together service and it was such a privilege to be part of it and today as the pub was mental and crazy and good fun. So many families from community meal, families from the pub and families form the holiday club. It was fantastic.

thanks for praying your prayer breath life into what God is doing here. Thank you. we're shattered and so we're going off grid for a week.

Love and Prayers
