J John and Just10



Just10 is coming to the north-east. It's official. I had the privilege last night to be part of the launch event - a thousand Christians from across Tyneside gathered together at the City Hall to worship, pray and hear J John explain what it was all about. We were doubly blessed, as our own pastor was leading the worship, with Mrs D on flute and Stew on bass (as well as an extremely talented lass on the trumpet).

So - Just10 - the 10 commandments - one each week - for 10 weeks. We're getting an 8,000 seat big top in Gateshead, and a 6,000 seat big top in Stockton. Starting in April next year. That's 140,000 seats over the whole 1o weeks. What an opportunity for people to hear God's word - explained practically and relevantly for them. For our friends. Colleagues. Neighbours. Kidz Klub parents.

J John has been greatly gifted by God - he's funny, relaxed, easy to listen to - and manages to explain profound truths before you've realised he's doing it. Imagine Rowan Atkinson as an evangelist. You'll not be too far off the mark!

Roll on April...
