“God told us we were going to meet a gang member on his way to commit a crime" says Jesus Army team leader, David Meakin, 26.

The Jesus Army had parked its bus, equipped with on-deck "café" in Central London. The Jesus Army team were there until the small hours, giving out food and drink, and talking and praying with passers-by.

But it was earlier in the evening that one of the team sensed God saying they would meet the gang member.

"Later that night we did meet a lad who confessed he was in a gang" says David "and he was on his way to get into crime. We prayed with him and he went home instead."
