Your words can change the world

We all know that our words have the power of life or death and can make a huge impact on the people hearing them. But have you ever thought about the power your words have in changing the world?

No? Read on to find out how becoming a speaker for CSW will mean your words have the power to change the world…

“It was such a privilege to hear F and his wife speak about what life is like for Christians in Iran. We were really moved hearing about what they go through to follow their faith – something that we so often take for granted. We’ve kept on praying for them, and the situation in Iran, since they came to speak to us.”

Emma, St George’s Church, Ashtead

“Speaking on behalf of the suffering Church is really close to my heart. It is an enormous privilege to share with churches what CSW is doing to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves in the places of power in our world.”

Keith, CSW Ambassador

“When Mervyn Thomas came to talk to us recently he told us about a lady he visited overseas. Every day, she takes out a card that she has received from CSW supporters and prays for the person that wrote to her. That really struck me as something quite amazing. If you want to be prayed for, write a card to somebody else that needs your prayers.”

Barbara, Connect & Encourage lunch club, Ash

“I love speaking on behalf of the persecuted Church for CSW as it’s my passion to raise awareness of the plight of our brothers and sisters around the world, to the churches in Wales. God has called me to be ‘a voice for the voiceless’ and has laid on my heart a passion to see the persecuted Church higher up the UK Church’s agenda, speaking out, praying, providing and petitioning on behalf of ‘those who cannot speak for themselves’.”

Paul, CSW Ambassador

“People were really moved and asked lots of questions. They were shocked by what they heard but keen to respond. Issues that seem so far away were brought to life and people are now hungry for information. The visit from CSW was a great encouragement and challenge to us as a church… CSW’s visit clearly impacted members of the church who were motivated to respond in practical ways.”

Andy, Associate Minister, Slough Baptist Church
