Children at the first Bible holiday club for a long time on Alderney heard the story of Moses from Canon Andrew White, the ‘Vicar of Baghdad’. He said God put the island on his heart while he was in Jerusalem. The next day he met a lady who grew up on Alderney, which he took as confirmation that he should visit. He visited a children’s Bible holiday club run by several churches, and spoke to 26 children. ‘He’s such a humble, inspiring man,’ said Lisa Adams, a home-schooling mum of four, who helped organise the club. While there he prayed at the site of Lager Sylt, one of four Alderney Nazi labour camps for French Jews who died there under a five-year German occupation. ‘I never even knew this tragedy happened on my doorstep,’ he wrote on Facebook. ‘This land still needs repentance, restoration and healing.’
