The largest evangelistic event in Britain in a generation was held in London recently. Ben Hampshire reports on an historic day.
Thousands flocked to the Emirates Stadium, the home of Arsenal Football Club, in July for an evangelistic event hosted by J.John at which a reported 2,000 people received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. More than 23,000 people were in attendance as J.John spoke a message of hope to a stadium full of people in a city which has recently experienced more than its fair share of tragedy.
Among the thousands of people who packed into the stadium to hear J.John were 300 survivors and families of victims of the Grenfell Tower fire.
J.John said, “The experience that Saturday at the Emirates Stadium was exhilarating, and it was a privilege to witness so many people making such significant steps along their individual journey of faith.
“No matter who you speak to, people right now need security, stability and hope. This is what Jesus offers.
