What a privilege to interview my friend Caroline Richards yesterday as we told the story of how she invited me to church “out of the blue” in September 1984. At the time I didn’t go to church and had no interest in doing so. But seeing as she confidently invited all 20 of my friends as well, I was somewhat taken aback by her positivity. She seemed sure we’d enjoy it if we turned up. Three days afterwards, all 20 of us did turn up, and nine months later I became a Christian at her church, Wimbledon Baptist Church in April 1985. I am forever grateful to God and to Caroline. Although I have told the story 100s of times in public, we had never both talked about it publicly before yesterday, when she and her husband Kevin visited The Beacon Church at the Village Hotel, Farnborough. A great day!
