A team of 12 members of Champion Forest Baptist Church, Houston arrived at St John, Newland in Hull for a seven-day mission in November, with local church members led by US super lawyer, Mark Lanier.
Mark is one of the top ten trial lawyers in America and teaches an adult class of around 800 at his home church in Houston (biblical-literacy.org). He has recently published a book, Christianity on Trial (IVP) which has already sold 15,000 copies in the States.
A variety of activities were engaged in to get the gospel out to as many people as possible. These included American Football, a craft evening, an American themed evening and a coach outing for 100 senior citizens. Through all these events the gospel message was shared movingly and with conviction.
