New beginnings for Ogun

Prince Babalola Adesanya-Shine is better know to most of us at St James as Nathaniel or Nate, but  its not every church that includes members of a royal family, as ours does.

Now Nathaniel is standing for election in the  Ogun state parliament in Nigeria, and last night I was invited to the UK launch of his election campaign, to open in prayer and give and impromptu speech.

It was impressive that nearly every speaker made explicit reference to the Christian faith and it is clear that Nate'scampaign has a strong Christian motivation.

Today we prayed for him at St James.  May God bless him.
