"Loving London, Without Being Weird" | Connor Perring from REVIVE 2024

The gospel is good news! But my friends think it's terrible. The gospel is beautiful! But my friends think Christianity looks ugly. The gospel changes lives! But my friends think Christians are odd. Is there anything that can be done? Is there any hope of living and speaking for Jesus in our world today? YES! And we don't need to be weird to do it.
 
Connor is a member of the church family at Christ Church Balham and the UCCF London Team Leader supporting university students to live and speak for Jesus through diverse evangelistic communities called Christian Unions. He equips students to think about how to creatively engage students with the gospel. Although from Dorset has now spent a decade in London and loves London and the people there.
