Street Evangelism & Transformation In Chester

Nathan Paylor and Aaron Edwards of Northgate Church, Chester, UK have a heart to reach lost people on the streets on the streets of Chester.

They both admit that this is outside the box, but they sense a call to the twin ideas being both wise and fools in order to proclaim the Gospel on the streets in the same way that Wesley did many years ago.

They both claim this is a blessing and an honor. They want to be relevant but not skip the truth. They observe that people are listening and responding.

They say, ‘You can dismiss Christians, the church, but not Jesus for he is still respected and admired by people even in this post-modern age.

The Story of Baby Jacob

              Left to right: Jenny Coles, Mark and Emma Ramkelawan with baby Jacob

Mark & Emma Ramkelawan of Chester, UK have experienced a very miraculous birth of Baby Jacob. Virtually given no real probability of conception and birth, God had other plans for them. Watch their story unfold in the video below:

Mark and Emma tried for one year to have a baby when it was discovered that they had a 0.04% change of ever getting pregnant. Needless to say, they were very discouraged.

Mark’s mother was praying for them when God reminded her that at their wedding, she felt led to pray for the future grandchildren. Jenny went over to pray for them and “call the baby into being”.

Mark and Emma were at the airport for a much needed holiday when she discovered she was pregnant. It turned out that Jenny said, “They really needed to take a test before they leave.” Mark shared that if they had not taken the test when they did, the fertility treatments they would undergo would have caused a miscarriage!
