Lindsay Hamon and cross

Hi!

   I’m Lindsay and I live in Cornwall in the far South West of the UK. I’m married with four grown up children.

      Although I originally trained as a social worker, I felt called to be a street evangelist and left social work in 1980. For the last 40 years I have been sharing Jesus on the streets, in pubs, clubs, Rock Festivals, Secondary Schools and Colleges. 

      In 1987 I moved to London for for 5 years to fulfil a calling to preach on the trains and platforms of the London underground network. This led to working with churches of various denominations providing street evangelism training.

      At the same time I began carrying the cross (Arthur Blessitt Style) initially in the UK and then through many countries in Europe and Asia. On returning to Cornwall in 1992 have continued evangelising both locally and abroad.

      I’m happiest when I’m talking to people about the good news of Jesus with those who may never go near a church. You can learn a bit more about this on my Walking With The Cross page.

   I believe it’s often our own fear and lack of confidence in Jesus that prevents us from sharing God’s love on the streets. So I help people overcome this fear by using simple ‘on-the-job’ street evangelism training and plenty of encouragement.
