Is that the book table we have in the Carfax around Christmas time?
Well, no, but we’re planning one for Saturday 7th December and if you would like to join us for a while, it would be great to see you. Would you pray about what the Lord wants you to do this Christmas? We think of Mary riding a donkey to Bethlehem, though the Bible doesn’t mention a donkey there. But there was the time when Jesus wanted a donkey, and the message his disciples had to take to its owner was The Lord has need of him.” Luke 19:34 Surely the Lord has need of me – of you?
Shall we be His little donkey? Please pray about it.
But what of this picture? Recently discovered, this is Len Simms, former Colporteur in Horsham in the 40s & 50s. He was the equivalent of Outreach UK’s evangelists of today, and he had a bookstall in the old Horsham market on Saturdays, roughly where Piries Place shopping area is now. He sold books and gave out tracts and shared the gospel with passers by.
It was a great joy for Stuart, Gill, Sandra and me to attend the 150th Celebration of Out-reach UK last Saturday in Milton Keynes; so great to hear testimonies from a number of associate evangelists from around the country, and then to have the encouragement of God’s word through Bill Thomas, chairman of Good News for Everyone (formerly Gide-ons), with whom OUK partners these days.
