Comments on: Reflections on 12 weeks in the UK… https://brianharrisauthor.com/reflections-on-12-weeks-in-the-uk/ Tue, 05 Aug 2025 02:17:02 +0000 hourly 1 By: Joshua Searle https://brianharrisauthor.com/reflections-on-12-weeks-in-the-uk/#comment-9993 Tue, 03 Jul 2018 10:05:50 +0000 http://brianharrisauthor.com/?p=2922#comment-9993 G’day, Brian! Thanks for this inspiring reflection. It was such a blessing for us to have had you and Rosemary with us at Spurgeon’s these past few months. It’s encouraging to hear about your positive impression of the churches you visited in London. The Holy Spirit is moving in London and I’m convinced that God has great things planned for this city. What an awesome privilege it is for us at Spurgeon’s College to be involved in the formation and equipping of the next generation of evangelists, apostles and prophets, who are helping to make the Kingdom of God a visible reality in this remarkable city.

Thanks again for the encouragement. Please keep in touch with Spurgeon’s!

Joshua

Thanks David. Yes, so much depends on what we notice, and we can be so obsessed with numbers that we miss what God is doing in our midst.

As a Baptist refugee in another country I appreciated your awareness that God is working in unsuspecting places. When we read the stats about declining numbers in Churches (statistics and damn statistics) it is a welcome reminder that our God is not confined to our traditional pews.

It was heartening to read what you have experienced in the churches and the neighbourhood. I look forward to a discussion or two about what we can learn for here.

Though iur home is a few miles from London, I could echo much of what you speak of. The UK church is in good health – smaller but leaner for now – but the impact in people’s lives across the land is noticeable. Bless you as you return.

Thought provoking too – do our comfortable and easy lives reflect John 13:35? I was very touched by your story of the elderly widow, reminded me of my grandma. But the young addict is what remains with me after reading your post. Will pray for him, and for those supporting him.
Safe travels! see you and Rosemary soon.
