It had been forty years since I had last preached at Leicester Elim and I was told by some members who could still remember the visit that I brought with me a worship leader in his late teens who they described as 'Noel Richards' before he was Noel Richards. I knew what they meant as the young man who accompanied me was later to become one of the best known Christian singer song-writers in the country.
The church now was in a totally different venue since those days and their relatively new pastor Ian Nicholson, pictured here with his wife Liz, is already having a very positive effect on this fine congregation. Ian has a faithful track record in our Movement and is a wise leader with a great pastoral heart. Thank you Leicester for your warm welcome. I very much enjoyed my time with you.

Hi John (Glass)
I came across this because I was in Leicester yesterday, trying unsuccessfully to contact the church there, about the need of somebody I was trying to help, a need that has now been met.
I used to know John Tonks, and once stayed with Peter Lavender.
I met you are Elim Launceston, where I am still worshipping.
Having discovered your blog by accident like this, I decided to follow it, but cannot work out how to. Are you able to advise?
In Christ,
