Last week, more than 160 people in Reigate professed faith after the local Baptist Church launched a ‘mission drive’.
Pastor Mike Williams and a dedicated team spent a week talking to townspeople about God and encouraging prayers on the streets and in parks. They even held a service in a café.
‘We gave out 1,000 leaflets and most of the responses we had were from young people, which was quite a surprise to us,’ the pastor told Premier Christian News.
Mike believes that lockdown and the pandemic may have encouraged more people to think about Christianity, so he and the church are now preparing to hit the streets more often.
‘We’re going to continue to go out and we’re also going to think about starting a gospel service,’ he added.
‘We’re going to continue to keep sowing the seeds… making it as easy as possible for them to come to church and just hear more about Jesus along the way.’
