Parliamentary reception celebrates gospel movement

NDOPW Convenor, Dr Jonathan Olyede (centre) talks to some church leaders at the Shine Your Light Parliamentary Reception.

More than 100 Christian leaders from over 60 denominations and networks have gathered at Portcullis House, Westminster to celebrate a nationwide evangelistic movement.

The Parliamentary Reception celebrated Shine Your Light, a nationwide evangelistic movement taking the gospel onto streets and marketplaces across the UK. It was hosted by Jim Shannon MP, Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the International Freedom of Religion and Belief and organised by the National Day of Prayer and Worship (NDOPW).

Leaders from all four nations celebrated a doubling in participating churches from 738 in 2023 to over 1,500 last December. They were also told of plans for Shine Your Light 2025, starting with a 72-Hour Prayer focus over Pentecost weekend, 6-8 June, and a weekend of Christmas evangelistic events from 12-14 December.
