News on the streets

August 9th 2011

We have had more nights of rioting and chaos on the streets of London - houses & businesses destroyed leaving people without homes and without jobs. Many communities have been affected including Tottenham, Brixton, Birmingham and Bristol. Many Police Officers who themselves are struggling with the same issues have now found themselves on the front lines of this outrageous violent rioting and looting. Many have been injured many criticised.

Please pray:
* for churches & Town/Street Pastors working in these areas
* Wisdom for those managing communities affected
* For the love, mercy and peace of God to be influential
* For healthy recovery to those people and communities left traumatised by the violence.

July 2011

Town Pastors worked at Latitude Festival Southwold, This was a great success. We are returning next year! Watch this space!

Summer 2006

Over the summer the Town Pastors found the streets ‘very quiet’. We recognised that it was the holiday season, with things disrupted a little by the World Cup - there was the temporary closure of Liquid Nightclub - but generally things were quiet - Praise God!

June 2006 Town Pastors Launch

After a successful pilot scheme over Christmas 2005, Town Pastors took to the streets on Friday June 23rd, and have been out regularly at weekends since. Now there are Town Pastor schemes in 9 towns in Suffolk. The picture (left) was taken at the official launch of Town Pators at Orwell Church Centre on the 26th June 2006 - left to right Jim Manning (IBC), Alan Caton (Police), Liz Beaton (Co-ordinator), Neil Boast (Police), Rev Paul Daltry (Waterfront Churches).
