		<description>A really good open-air yesterday in Manchester.  Encouraging to start the &#039;season&#039; off.  A good team of 10 including people who travelled in from Wallasey and Accrington.

Maggie spoke with Michael after the first talk.  He is Catholic but had no assurance of salvation.  In  due course, Maggie was able to lead him in a prayer of commitment to Christ.  PTL.  
Maggie also had conversations with several others including Shawn, from a Seventh Day Adventist family. He had “never heard the gospel like that before” – he took a Turn to God Leaflet and was challenged.  There was a man who was part of a street sales team, selling insurance, he had never heard the gospel before and was open but concerned his boss was watching so he had to get on with his job.

Carole and Lydia spoke with Athena who was from a Greek Orthodox background.  Her family were very religious but Athena said she knew something was missing and that she was a sinner and was afraid because of that.  Lydia was able to share her testimony.  Athena was shown the prayer of commitment in TTG – she said she wanted to say it but also wanted to think it through first.  Carole has her e-mail address.

Doreen spoke with Martin, a deaf man, knows Jesus as his Saviour, but was not settled in a church.  Doreen encouraged him to get involved in a church.  There was little sign of spiritual growth.
Salman took a John’s gospel in Arabic.   Two  Chinese girls, students, Amy and Riana (adopted English names) were Buddhists but both took John’s gospel and promised to read them.

David H had a long conversation with a Catholic man who said he had Catholicism drilled into him as a child – kept on that he did not see the gospel  as relevant

David W spoke to two students from Malaysia (Jonathan and Wayne) who were religious (Buddhists?). They listened to David tell them about Jesus and one said his brother was a Christian in Malaysia.  Each took a TTG leaflet and encouraged to “speak to your brother”
David also spoke with John, a Catholic and explained the gospel to him.
David and Carole  spoke with a mother and daughter who were from Inverness – mother is a Christian, but daughter is not.

This is just a flavour of the conversations that took place and many pieces of literature were also distributed – pray that these will be read and lead to conversions.</description>

		<description>Just to continue about Streetwise on Saturday - we started with a short devotional by Roger who later led discussion on &#039;What is the Gospel?&#039; and &#039;Why preach the gospel?&#039;  Doreen kept is supplied with tea and coffee (and cup-a-soup at lunchtime).  The afternoon was more practical when I introduced the sketchboard and the students got to painting, practising ladder lettering - and excellent work too!</description>

		<description>With only a few people booked in for Manchester Streetwise - could do with quite a few more. A good sized team contributes to group dynamics and allows greater development of individual gifts.

A good example is when Roger Cole, the minister of Henley Baptist Church, enrolled in the London course along with five members of his church. Developing their potential through ‘Streetwise’, they then went on to form a Gospel team which now preaches publicly in their local area. The team also has the opportunity to conduct outreach abroad – in countries as different as Poland and India.

		<description>Had a good open-air in Manchester last Friday (15/10/10) despite a rain interruption.  Some good conversations and one woman who turned to Christ and has since been along to church accompanied by two of our team members.</description>
