Despite the anger and vitriol that fills the front pages of our tabloids, there is good news on the streets of London…
Let me tell you about my friend Ilyas Ayoub, who works in one of the most diverse parts of our capital – Forest Gate in East London. Ilyas works at a mission centre, sandwiched between a temple and a mosque, where he partners with local churches to love the community and by sharing the gospel message.
Every Friday, Ilyas is part of a team that sets up a bookstall on the local high street and talks with people heading to the mosque. One day, they invited people they spoke with to a discussion evening for Christians and Muslims. They had expected 30 people to come along, but over 100 turned up.
