Di Bowes-Read

When i was at Leeds University I heard Luis Palau speak at a mission and he fascinated me. He spoke about the Bible as if it was a daily newspaper, something that's relevant to our lives today. I started to go to church to see if I could find anyone who was as enthusiastic about Christianity as he had been, but was disappointed. There ended my interest in God until I got a job in Maidstone working at a girl's Grammar Schools. My immediate boss and two close colleagues all turned out to be Christians and had the same "Something" that the preacher had had. I took my time, but with their patience and good teaching I eventually decided to make a commitment to the Christian faith. My life has NEVER been the same since!
I have had the privilege to spend much time with the homeless in London, and amongst the many inmates in prisons up and down the country and men and women in rehabilitation centres who are trying to put their wrecked lives back together again. My message to them and to anybody would be that with God actively in your life, everything seems to make much more sense. You can each be in control of your destiny which is inevitably one to prosper you and not to harm you. I have found that the only way to achieve this sense of purpose and well being is to make sure that God lives in the centre of our heart.

Amen
