London Mission Week at Haddon Hall was an incredible time of equipping, outreach, and unity across churches and communities. Each morning began with uplifting training sessions led by Glenn and Colin, who encouraged and challenged all participants to share the gospel boldly and compassionately. These sessions provided practical tools, biblical teaching, and spiritual fuel that helped set the tone for the day ahead.

Throughout the week, evangelism stations were set up in key locations around Bermondsey and Southwark, creating powerful opportunities for gospel conversations. Teams engaged with hundreds of people through creative outreach, prayer, and one-on-one conversations. Many passers-by stopped to listen, ask questions, and receive prayer, showing an openness to the message of hope being shared.

Missions Cup

A major highlight was the youth football tournament hosted at Harris Academy Bermondsey. With over 10 churches represented, young people came together for an afternoon of sport, community, and inspiration. The tournament was more than just football—it was a joyful and welcoming space for connection, with the gospel shared throughout the event. The day ended with an awards ceremony and a clear gospel message that left a lasting impact.

We were also blessed to have international support during the week. Volunteers from Latvia and Korean-American believers joined the mission, bringing fresh energy, encouragement, and a beautiful sense of unity in Christ. The WEC mission team also came alongside to help, serving faithfully throughout the week and encouraging others through their global mission experience.

Youth BBQ & Movie Night

London Mission Week launched with a buzzing Youth BBQ & Movie Night at Haddon Hall, bringing together young people from across Southwark for an evening of food, fun, and faith. The event featured games, music, and a relaxed atmosphere that helped create genuine connections between youth and leaders. The highlight of the evening was a powerful gospel presentation following the film, which sparked thoughtful conversations and planted seeds of faith in many hearts. It was a strong start to the week, setting the tone for what God would do through the youth-focused events that followed.

One of the most exciting moments of the week came at the youth event R1, which saw over 80 young people gather for music, food, testimony, and gospel proclamation. By the end of the night, 12 young people made first-time commitments to follow Jesus. Since then, the momentum has continued, with many of them joining follow-up groups and attending church. R1 has become a growing space for young people to encounter God and find community.

City Hope Church also hosted a vibrant Fun Day at Southwark Park, drawing families and individuals from across the area. With games, food, and activities for all ages, it created a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere where many were prayed for, encouraged, and connected with a local church community. It was a beautiful example of how joy and hospitality can open doors for the gospel.

Woman's Walk & Breakfast

On a bright Saturday morning, the women of Haddon Hall gathered for a refreshing walk followed by a warm, welcoming breakfast. The event was more than just a time to stretch our legs, it created space for meaningful conversations, prayer, and quiet reflection together.

During breakfast, Karen shared a short but powerful thought on incense being offered to God, encouraging us to see our prayers and worship as a fragrant offering rising before Him. It was a timely reminder that even in our everyday moments, we can honour God with hearts lifted in prayer and praise.

We came away refreshed in body and spirit, thankful for fellowship, encouraged in faith, and reminded that God delights in the offerings of His people.
