I've been sent to Coventry.

Teaching of English to people who are new to the UK is an important part of our programme. Last Saturday saw volunteers from all five Jesus Centres (Coventry, Northampton and London are up and running, Sheffield is nearly open and Birmingham is in preparation) coming together to receive training and share experience. Although I am not directly involved in teaching or running a group it was exciting to see so much commitment and enthusiasm  in one room. I was really impressed by the depth of understanding for our visitors and their difficulties which was shown by those leading sessions; and from accounts of how people are being helped it is clear that the teaching of English is being used as a channel for God's love to many.
The growing Jesus Centre movement is certainly being true to it's motto: 'Compassion in action.'
(In a role play I did have to give a demonstration of how not to do it, I hope the group who had to suffer it are not too traumatised!)...we also had a great lunch-thanks CJC.
