UK Government WON'T make churches use Covid passports

The faith minister has denied reports that the Government's new rules around Covid passports for large venues will include churches. Lord Greenhalgh was responding to a tweet by Talk Radio which suggested night clubs, cinemas and churches would need to check if visitors had been vaccinated. He said: "As faith minister I would like to make clear to everyone that the government is not going to make being double-jabbed a condition of entry to a place of worship. Talk Radio has got this wrong."

Simon Pinchbeck - From Copper to Criminal to Christian

Simon was a `Copper` who had a career change & became a `Criminal`, then had a life change to become a `Christian`. 

After over 23years in the Met. Police, Simon left after receiving a `Not Guilty` verdict on a serious assault charge against another officer. He then became obsessed with money and entered into a life of crime with a group of men that he trained with at a local gym.

However after a nasty falling out with these guys, he was facing prison or death. He had left his wife and family, and was at the lowest point of his life - but it was seeing the difference Jesus Christ had made in a very violent man`s life, that led Simon to invite Jesus into his own life.

That was in 2002, since then Simon has been reunited with his family, and  has continued to let Jesus tell His story through his life, across the UK and beyond.
