I was encouraged to see larger numbers than were possible in The Round Church. Interestingly, Mark Ashton, the vicar of St Andrews, was the visiting speaker at The Round twenty eight years ago when I went up to the front of the church to declare my new faith in Jesus. Mark had also been my brother Vaughan Roberts' English teacher at Winchester College, where he was at school. Vaughan was not yet a Christian but God used me and my developing commitment to him to help encourage Vaughan and the rest of my family to discover the real Jesus. As you may know, Vaughan is now the rector of St Ebbes, Oxford and has an effective preaching ministry, reaching hundreds of students whose changed lives are impacting the world. It is exciting to see how God nudges us towards him and how, like dominoes, we push others in the right direction.

The Round Church is still attracting students and doing much the same -- only we outgrew that building and moved into the nearby St Andrew the Great! Great to hear your story.
