I received this email recently

Hello there,

I'm not sure if you remember me or not but I walked across to the Cross a few months ago brandishing a Satanic Bible and proceeded to read from it.  I wanted to shock I suppose, wanted to get a reaction.  I can see now that my actions weren't helpful or kind but caused ill-will, enmity and division.  I became a Christian in 1998 and everything was fine for a while but me being me, well I wanted to do what I wanted to do and so fell away.  I tried again a little while later but got involved with a church that wasn't either helpful or healthy and again left and tried to do my own thing, which is never really a good idea.  I've learned to my cost that My ways rarely works whereas His way ALWAYS does, though perhaps not in the timeframe I might like. 

I've been thinking a lot about you, about the work you do in Broad Street.  I recommitted myself to the Christian faith earlier this week.  I stood earnestly in front of the Lord and repented of my sins.  I cried buckets.  I've also found a great church with a brilliant pastor and I know I'm on the right path again.  I want to thank you personally.  Your Cross reached into my heart and touched me.  Please don't let anyone stop you from ministering as you do, you are invaluable to the town's spiritual nourishment.  One day, perhaps you and I can join forces and do something worthwhile or perhaps you and I can just sit down and have a cup of tea and a chat.  Whatever happens will happen, I'm not going to force anything.  I'm just going to take it slowly and let Him decide what's right for me and my life.  I hope you're well and happy.  Much love to you. 

God bless,

Sadly I have since had an email saying that he has given up on church!
