In June, Christian Answer teams came to streets of Oxford and Cambridge to preach and testify to the saving power of Jesus.
There were a large number of conversations as many people were willing to stop, listen and discuss.
A 17-year-old Oxford student kept coming back to listen, took much literature and talked to team members over three days. On the third day he prayed to become a Christian.
An atheist interrupted a talk, then came back three times to listen and talk further. He agreed that he couldn’t explain the origin of world and there was a spiritual dimension to life. He accepted a booklet on the Resurrection. A student who described himself as a pagan came over to thank the team for speaking in a gracious way to people, unlike some other groups. He said he was homosexual and he continued to talk, with a friend, and listen to the claims of Christ on his life.
A Muslim man in his twenties said ‘I am seeking’. He had already read some of the Bible and took Why does God allow suffering? and Grill a Christian to read, as well as details of Christian meetings in Oxford.
The teams, made up of Christians using their annual leave, students and ‘retired’ Christians, appreciated the support from and fellowship with local churches.
