Anthony Fisher shares his experience of introducing a group of local lads to the good news of Jesus.
I live in Speke – a poor estate on the south side of Liverpool. My wife Elaine and I attend a family-sized church of around 70 people made up of all ages. We probably look very unimpressive on the outside, but we love loving the Lord together and are a close church family who are trying to find creative ways of reaching out to the 15,000 people who live in Speke.
Getting to know our neighbours
When we moved here six years ago, we came with a strong conviction that where we live is not an accident and that we have a responsibility for evangelising in our local area. Before long, we got a chance to go out for a meal with George. On the way home, I asked him if I could tell him about Jesus one day. He said yes and that was the door in.
