London Year (1982-1983)

I worked as a voluntary evangelist with London City Mission from September 1982 to September 1983. We were reminded from the outset that we were there to work. It wasn’t a London holiday.

Let me think πŸ˜€. When I reached my teens, I think that I was disappointed with life and disappointed with the world. And I wanted to change the world and myself.

Regarding communism, I wasn’t at all attracted to communism as practiced by the oppressive communist regimes. … Continue reading Listen to Older Folk
