Tell Your Big Hearted Stories 

Evangelist Chris Duffett, the current president of the Baptist Union of Great Britain, is looking for your stories of sharing the gospel


Tell your Big Hearted stories Chris's presidential year has seen him travelling to each Baptist Association and encouraging them to be 'big hearted' in creatively sharing the Good News of Jesus.
 
As he nears the end of the presidential year with just three Associations to visit, he is now looking to hear how people have got on through the Big Hearted tour.

'I've been able to work with loads of different Baptist churches - I'd love to hear how you have been carried on being Big Hearted,' Chris explained this week, in a short film uploaded to Youtube.
 
'Perhaps you have heard for the first time how you can creatively bring, through the power of the Holy Spirit, something of the Good News of Jesus in what you've got.

'Big Hearted has been a year of showing the Good News of Jesus - being Big Hearted enough to let others in on what we've got. Being able to use our gifts, our creativity, in showing the Good News of Jesus in a way that people can get it.'
