A Soho church is issuing a heartfelt plea for a new pastor to join it in one of the UK’s toughest mission areas.
Andrew Murray, who has been pastor of Hope Church, West End – which serves Soho and Covent Garden – says that after four decades of struggle the congregation is now just nine.
He says a combination of circumstances, including ‘seedy hedonism’ and the New Age movement, make evangelism in this part of London particularly difficult. But for any would-be pastor prepared to take on the challenge for Christ there is the ‘God-given gift of two properties’ which some might say indicate the Lord has a future purpose for this fragile community of faith.
