Had opportunity to share the ‘4 points’ at the prison this morning, where I’m a chaplain. Great simple tool to get hold of for your witnessing. Gives you just enough of a prompt to enable you to share from your heart. Like I said, they have some good resources to help you at the site … More Just a few things…

Its an occupational hazard for officers to get far too ‘run-ragged’ at Christmas. I’ve really been wondering … More Incarnation
I was leading chapel service in our local prison on Sunday morning. Before the service, the other guys from Prison Fellowship who attend worship were setting out the nativity scene. We discovered that someone had “borrowed” the baby Jesus from the set. Deciding it would be a good opportunity to talk about Christmas without Jesus, … More …but He is still here!
Its into Christmas carolling season. I’m a serial caroller. Would do it every day. Its good ‘presence evangelism’ and its proclamation.
