‘How are we as God’s people to respond to the reality of living in a hostile world?’ was the question posed at this year’s London Women’s Convention on October 19.
Lizzy Smallwood turned to the Book of Daniel, from which the gathering learned that like him we are to live uncompromising lives, pray faithfully and put our hope in God’s promises as we wait for our own return home.
A number of inspiring, encouraging and moving testimonies illustrated these themes. A GP and nurse shared some of the day-today challenges they face as Christians in their workplaces.
An Iranian Christian testified to God’s faithfulness over the years since her father was executed for preaching the gospel, and Janet Burrowes, wife of MP David Burrowes, explained a little of the trials the family has faced since David took his stand against same-sex marriage.
Singing praise
As always the music was awesome and as we sang praises to our wonderful God we were reminded that we may live in a hostile world but our God is on the throne and we are never alone.
