Taming the Tiger Heading - Ipswich

 The website for the visits of Tony Anthony & Team to Ipswich



November 2007 - ReportsThe Tiger

Tony Anthony's first visit to Ipswich was on Saturday 3 November and Sunday 4 November. It is hoped that these days have given people who did not know Tony the opportunity to meet him and gain the confidence necessary to take full advantage of the week in April 2008, when Tony will spend time working with the churches.

Committee Reports

Saturday 3 November

10.00 am until 4.00 pm  "Release" Training Conference run by Tony Anthony at Whitton Baptist Church, Highfield Road, Ipswich.

“Release” was an evangelism training conference designed to motivate, equip and mobilise people to confidently, joyfully and effectively participate in the Great Commission. The three aims of the conference were: to clearly define the Gospel; to redefine the meaning of evangelism; and to provide practical tools that enable people to spread and proclaim a carefully crafted salvation message.

Over one hundred people were present, and the day seems to have been very much appreciated.  Many filed in an appraisal form which will show more accurately what attendees thought - the results will be published here once the analysis has been done.

Sunday 4 November

7.30 pm Evangelistic Event with Tony Anthony at Orwell Church, 114 Fore Hamlet, Ipswich

The venue was packed out with 650 people! Most arriving after 7:00 pm for a 7:30 pm start were struggling to get seats.  Stuart Balmer interviewed Angela Little who wrote the book 'Taming the Tiger' for Tony. She explained how the book came into being and how it's now been translated in many languages and is in 26 countries. One chapter now forms part of the national PSHE (Personal, Social & Health Education) syllabus in schools. Hundreds of copies are given away in prisons.
 
Tony Anthony shared his gripping life story and presented the gospel with a very clear, easy to understand manner. Around twenty folk made some form of response to his call for people to believe and receive Jesus as Saviour and Lord. There were others who didn't make an outward response but who are known to have been challenged by what he said. We now need to continue to water what was sown with our prayers.
