Very specially ‘Simply Christians’
This is a group of people from Hollybush Christian Fellowship who go out on the streets of Thirsk and Northallerton on market days. We have been going out every week for 6 hours. We witness to Jesus in the power and unity of the Holy Spirit. We go out in the expectation of ‘signs and wonders’. We serve the needy in our midst in association with CRUTCH, Northallerton. In around a thousand hours of outreach over the last three years we have shared our faith with thousands of people. Many of these people, too numerous to acknowledge here, have contributed to the substance of this book.
BIBLIOGRAPHY
Apart from quotes in the text, there are no references in a Bibliography at the end. What a chagrin, well perhaps not. If I did one, it would extend the book by about 20 sides!
