From Crusaders to Urban Saints
This year sees the centenary of the start of the Crusaders’ Union, which has been very influential in the lives of many lads and girls for Christ.
The story actually begins in the spring of 1900 when a missionary named Albert Kestin was walking through North London on a Sunday afternoon. As he walked he prayed for the young people he saw. They looked at a loose end and bored, and he felt that there was a great need for a new initiative to reach such youngsters for Christ.
