‘Godometer’ hits the road

Unchurched children and local Muslims are among those hearing the gospel message thanks to a unique bus-driven ministry.

Destination 211 is a bus ministry reaching out to deprived estates in the area. Neil Walpole, assistant curate with Dewsbury Team Parish who launched the bus in 2019 with a team from different churches, said: ‘It’s vision is to lead people of all ages to Christ and to that place of Revelation 21:1 – a new heaven and a new earth, where all tears and all suffering is wiped away.’

It began in Chickenley near Dewsbury, an estate with a reputation for drug issues and extreme antisocial behaviour. It now opens every Wednesday during school term and includes games, chat, Bible-based craft and activities and Bible study.
