Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. The picture is of Josiah Spiers, the founder of Scripture Union.
On 2 June 1867 Josiah Spiers spoke to fifteen children in a
drawing room in Islington, London, pioneering a new approach to sharing Christ with children. Josiah taught the children hymns and choruses and told them stories of Jesus in a way that they could understand. It was also so lively, so informal and so very different from
the boring sermons they had sat through in their churches that all the children returned the following week with some of their friends.
150 years later, Scripture Union has changed my life for the
better and is still changing the lives of children in over 130 countries around the world. I’m currently in Austria helping lead the SU Austria Snowsports Holiday, and to raise money for children in the Ukraine I will be going bald. Please sponsor me, and a huge THANK YOU if you do.
