May I say something to you?
I was struck by a phrase that I read in the book of Acts when Paul was carried away from an angry crowd who were shouting for him to be rid of! Paul asked ‘may I say something to you?’ (Acts 21.37) So I made a simple sign and set up a plinth for me…
Postcards and hugs
We had a few hours to explore and hang out in Cambridge. Amy, one of the students with The Light Project was visiting to glean ideas for town centre evangelism for Poole on the south coast. We went to hand out free Cambridge postcards and also Free Hugs. The gestures prompted some questions…

Psst… Got any hash?
This is my contribution to the new ‘Sharing Jesus’ book… available here. What makes the Good News, good for you? I used to always give them a wide birth. Occasionally I would even cross over the street to avoid them. If I had the misfortune of catching their eye I would smile politely and mumble…
The Big Hearted Tour is over
