LCM: God’s work goes on

May 2020 marked 185 years since three
Victorian visionaries – horrified at
the
huge numbers of people in London living
in appalling conditions and without the
hope of Christ – formed the London City
Mission. They quickly assembled a group of
missionaries to go to the slums to proclaim
the gospel.
Yet most of our missionaries were forced
to mark the anniversary by staying at home.
Despite a massive increase in people raising
serious questions about life, death and the
meaning of it all, we are having to enforce
social distancing
and
stop our physical
meetings – initially it was so frustrating.
