A Christmas letter from Carl

I can't believe another year has gone by. It's been a huge one for CVM with many advances across the UK in evangelism to men. Thanks so much for being part of the story. Please have a look at what's gone on this year in the list below and give thanks to God with us. Please could I ask you to also consider giving a gift to CVM this Christmas so that we can press on and get more messages like these ones …

"hey Carl, just to let you know that I went to the Gathering and have now decided to become a Christian. I'm getting baptised this Sunday…"    (John, London)

"We showed Defenders at our Remembrance Day service and many people said it was the best one they had been to."    (Simon, Sheffield)

"Defenders was one of the clearest and most man friendly presentations of the gospel they had ever heard."     (Jeremy, London)       (Defenders was our free gospel resource for churches)
 

That's what we live to hear! Please help us reach more men like John with the message of Jesus, just click here: www.justgiving.com/cvm-christmas-appeal
