Church leaders left Methodist Central Hall feeling energised after an evening of praise, worship and inspirational talks on sharing the life-changing message of the Gospel within their communities. Crossing London Mission 2013 (http://www.crossinglondon.co.uk) aims to equip London churches of all denominations with the skills to step out into their local areas to deliver hope to the lonely and the broken. The first meeting of the year, titled ‘Inspire’, was aimed at encouraging leaders and took place in Westminster on Saturday. ‘Crossing London is not simply an event or a series of events, it is about creating a movement,’ said Stephen Gaukroger, Executive Chair of Crossing London. ‘Our vision is to see London change, person by person, street by street, community by community.’ He continued: ‘There are issues around sexuality and morality, poverty and crime in our capital city. What’s the answer? There is no economic or political solution for this, there is only a spiritual solution.’

Praise: God that this initiative will stir the churches into reaching out to the communities. (Ps.57:10)
