Tough Talk coming back to the east coast
Tough Talk is coming back to the East Coast—and this time, they’re at the Kings Centre, Southtown, Great Yarmouth
The gents from TT are ex hard men from East London, who have met Jesus and now through power lifting, explain the gospel in a truly unique way. They travel internationally and particularly visit a lot of prisons to speak to others like themselves who have had difficult pasts, yet can still have an awesome future in Jesus.
We really encourage the men (young and old) of the church to bring along their friends who consider Christianity to be a female pastime, and so on Sunday October 11th bring along your friends and family and, weather permitting, we will arrange a barbeque and have an excellent evening at Kings (times to follow)
a bit about Tough Talk from their website for those who don't know them:

Tough Talk is a registered charity dedicated to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in an informal way that appeals to people who would not normally go to a church meeting.
Tough Talk is made up of a group of men with backgrounds of ex-hard men from the East End of London, ex-bouncers, ex- debt collectors,ex-drug abusers and ex-violent men who, having let God into their lives, have turned their backs on their past. They now feel an urgent need to share their experiences with the hope of helping others. They have found that the message of hope in Jesus Christ reaches people from all backgrounds and age groups.
Powerlifting is the sport that they are all involved in. The team travel throughout the UK, Europe and worldwide performing powerlifting demonstrations as a backdrop to telling their amazing stories. In this way, the Christian faith is presented to people who would not otherwise come into contact with the Word of God
Tough Talk, as a charity, is financed through donations, regular gifts and from the sale of books, DVDs and videos. All the money is channelled back into the work of the organisation, funding many events and missions. A special New Testament with a Tough Talk cover has been produced and this is given to all who make commitments to Jesus Christ at our meetings and it is also given out during prison visits
