What a great turn out at the Hyphop BBQ last night. Up to 200 people swarmed into the church garden for a BBQ. There were infants, children, teenagers, mums with prams, dads, grannies and granpas - the whole age spectrum and I only identified three people I had ever seen in church. Chris took them all into the large hall before serving the food. He sang some songs with the kids, explained to the grown ups what Hyphop was all about and he made no secret of the fact that the purpose was to tell the kids about God's love. He then prayed before the food was served. Everybody had a great time, the sun shone and God was blessed. I found it rather frustrating that because of all the practicalities, I couldn't spend more time interacting with the real Hiltonites. Well done, Chris. Your witness to these people was clear and non-compromising. My question now is "How can we build on this now-rather than leaving it till the next Hyphop BBQ?"
