Arrival of the Inspire mag is looked forward to by people and gives some useful topics of conversation. Copies are left out for outside organisations to pick up and read. These include a bereavement support group, some of whose members have drawn support and strength from the pages of Inspire. John White, Christ Church URC, Clacton-on-Sea


Our copies are used in our friendship club, which is an outreach from our church among senior citizens. It is enjoyed each month. Val Martin, Clacton-on-Sea

IN OUR recent church distributors’ survey, we asked people to let us know the diff erence Inspire magazine is making for them and their regular readers – and how their church is using copies. We’ll be featuring some of your answers over our forthcoming issues this year – you might just pick up a great idea!


After enjoying some 45 years of happy marriage I lost my wife suddenly. Looking through an Inspire and feeling lonely I found the advert for Christian Connection. After the free trial period I paid for one month. In that time I found a lady who was also widowed. We have now been married for more than two years! Peter Ponting, Andover Baptist Church, Hampshire

We were alerted to the campaign to support Right to Believe, the petition for freedom of religion, in one of the Inspire issues. Our two churches joined in signing the petition enthusiastically. Angela Paisley, St James’ Church, Styvechale

We read about the church which had an open all hours so we decided to try one. It was such a success in reaching our local community that we are planning two for next year. Eric Southwick, Stanley Street Independent Methodist, Seaham, Co Durham

I have a contact who has moved to the UAE. She loves reading Inspire and says it helps to keep her going in a diffi cult working environment. Major Sheila Smith, The Salvation Army, London N1


Any copies left in church when the new edition arrives are placed in doctors/ dentists’ waiting rooms. I have tried leaving on trains but this is not so successful as after each journey they are cleared away. Kay Burn, St Andrew’s Church, Paull, Hull
