UK: The Turning - London

Come and join London’s Christians as we share the Gospel in their communities. The Turning (www.theturning.eu) aims to see every believer equipped to share the Gospel and trained to disciple those who respond. Learn a simple way to share the Gospel, spend time daily in worship and spiritual preparation and go out into the streets to talk to people about Jesus.

London is the largest city in Europe and one of the most multicultural cities in the world, this makes it a great place to learn how to share your faith. We will join The Turning’s mission, receive their training and work in a specific borough with local Christians of all denominations to make Jesus known. Our outreach will be linked to a local church in that borough, to enable follow-up to happen. Before we go out, we will spend the evening in prayer and worship, spiritually getting ready to serve Jesus.
