This morning, Tope Koleoso was on Premier Gospel speaking about how Christians can get involved with the clean up. You can download audio of Tope’s interview Jubilee Church has a page with a further comment from Tope and a call to prayer and response.

The situation this morning is absolutely terrifying. BBC News and the Guardian have live news sections that make frightening reading. The most concerning thing is that there seems that the authorities are struggling to control the situation.

It must be stressed that what is happening has NOTHING to do with protesting injustice. It has NOTHING... Read more

I am getting messages from different members of our congregation who say that gangs are smashing things up yards from their home, or in once case actually at the foot of their flats. Buildings have been looted in Enfield Town, and it seems also on the retail park where our church is based. Please pray for safety for all our people, and for those we live amongst. We do not want any injury or loss of life, and we want... Read more

It is great to... Read more
