Amidst the various discussions of more people hosting London Bus adverts, including one recently of a Russian head of a TV company, here is an amusing addition: software to create your own advert and send it on to friends: http://ruletheweb.co.uk/b3ta/bus/?s1=There%27s+probably+no+cod.&s2=Now+stop+complaining&s3=and+eat+your+sardines

Postman Pat's model of evangelism

Ian Bunce sent this video link very tongue in cheek. I have not posted funny videos before but this has inspired me to post this one (it is well worth watching for 6:15 mins). Brilliant and how not to do the job. I shall offer others which again have direct bearing on evangelism. Several come to mind and I shall offer the ocassional link like this. You might have other suggestions which we can enjoy and learn from!

Comedians help church outreach

Andy Kind & Tony Vino are two alternative comedians who are using their comic talents as a resource to the ‘Church’, bringing laughter to the four corners of the UK. Since late 2005, they have been touring their uniquely hilarious 2-man show across the country, playing in churches, café’s, clubs and pubs. It’s easy: pick a venue, book the boys, get a crowd, then sit back and relax into an evening of wholesome comedy entertainment.

The idea is for Christians to bring mainstream comedy into their locality, whether that be a church, pub or community hall and to put on a comedy night open to all people. It is a chance for Christians and churches to connect with, and bless, their community by putting a smile on the face of those present.
