Summer Outreach

This trip reflected a season of openness, a deep spiritual hunger in the UK, and clearly orchestrated encounters that are evidence of your prayers and of seeds being planted and hearts being stirred across London.

We are so excited to share this report with you! For a week in early June, Mitch Forman (Vice President of US Ministries) led a team from Chosen People Ministries US on an outreach campaign in London. Since most of the team had never been to the UK, the first point of call was on making them familiar with Jewish areas in London, such as Stamford Hill and Golders Green.

From the second day of the outreach they then proceeded to go on street engagement with both the Jewish people and Christians. The majority of engagement within the Jewish community were with Orthodox Jews, where discussions were engaging but sensitive. There was a great attempt to engage secular Jewish people throughout the week and many tracts were given out. The team were also instructed to note evangelical churches spotted in neighbourhoods for follow-up.

Places Visited:

The team visited central London sites such as Leicester Square, Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, and others.
During Shabbat, one team member stayed local and engaged with visitors in Regent’s Park, many of whom were Jewish.
On the eve of Shavuot, visits were to neighbourhoods including Hampstead, Golders Green, Hendon, and Edgware.
Half the team distributed plenty of literature in central London areas while others engaged with locals in Regent’s Park.
Evening activities included outreach in the West End theatre district and in Hampstead.
Outreach in major shopping areas like Oxford Street and Bond Street.
University areas were also explored. A team set up a book table in Oxford and continued outreach in Stamford Hill and Golders Green despite challenges, including a recent anti-Semitic incident. Conversations with Orthodox Jews were cautious but some meaningful connections were made.

Team Member Reflections

During the outreach the team experienced a powerful series of spiritual conversations across a wide range of backgrounds and faiths. A Muslim couple from Kuwait, in London for medical treatment, openly received prayer and expressed interest in learning more about Jesus through I Found Shalom videos. One team member saw a clear example of divine timing when a Gospel booklet specifically aimed at Jewish readers was gratefully accepted by a Jewish man after a spontaneous encounter in the park. Despite the cold weather and challenging locations, many tracts were handed out and meaningful dialogues took place with individuals from various faiths— including Orthodox Jews, non-practicing Catholics, and former Muslims now following Jesus.

Several participants had the opportunity to pray for people facing serious health issues, with one particularly touching street encounter ending in joy and a mutual blessing. One powerful bookend to the trip began with Iranian citizens who passionately supported Israel and were eager to receive prayer, and ended with Israeli seekers deeply engaged in conversation about the Messiah, even exchanging contact information for continued dialogue. While street outreach was a major focus, fruitful ministry also happened through phone calls, with many answering and receiving encouragement and prayer, something not often seen in other regions.

Other highlights included a Jewish man unexpectedly sharing his deep personal struggles and opening up to the message of Yeshua, and a young Christian couple being empowered to engage more confidently in outreach to Jewish friends. Even outside of the scheduled outreach times, conversations about the Messiah continued naturally and warmly in personal settings.
