People are in desperate need of God. Wayne came to faith through patient, sensitive and long-term work by London City Mission (LCM). He was five or six when he started going to mid-week sports at their centre, then later to a youth club called Jucos, with a Bible class. ‘It wasn’t the stories that drew me in: it was the sport. I’d be at the centre to play sport in the week, and on Sunday I’d go to Jucos, stay for tea and the evening service. I loved being at the centre. Over time, faith became real and relevant.’ He gave his life to Jesus and today he lives in Slough with wife Joyce and son Chris. He works with a charity called Christian Connections in Schools, a local ministry partner with Scripture Union. ‘My work now is exactly the same as what LCM did with me all those years ago: talking about what Jesus said and did, and its relevance today.’
