Nightchurch

Andy and I co-ordinate and lead this mad and exciting thing called Nightchurch. Our church, Church Without Walls, uses a shop unit which is in the city centre in a street between the pubs and the main night clubs in town. It's all cosy with coffee tables and sofas and on a Friday night we open it up as a drop in / sacred space for anybody who wants to come in. We start at 10:30pm and shut between 3 and 4am on a Saturday. The vision is to provide hospitality and to allow God to reach and touch people as we create a safe space in which that can happen.

It is such a huge honour to be invited by God to join in His mission to reach out to people. And it amazes me every time how many people really are spiritually hungry and seeking something more. We don't do pushy evangelism at all. We don't need to. The guests start the conversations about life and God and we just join in. It's fantastic!

Two weeks ago, a girl came along and was really blessed and touched by God. She came along to church the Sunday after and was back again last night. She joined the team for the pre-nightchurch prayers and was simply radiant with God! It was uplifting just to be with her!

We're starting to get quite a crowd of people who know us and keep coming back. There was quite a lot of heated debate yesterday and some really productive discussions as well. Including a couple of conversations with people genuinely searching for God and wanting to know more. And half a dozen people from the Czech Republic who are Christians and like singing about God. One had a fantastic voice!
