“Abottle was lobbed through the window. Lads were outside, giving me the finger" says Sam Cullum, 20, a young leader in the Jesus Army in Coventry.

He was in his house playing the piano, when local youths threw the bottle through the open window and started swearing at him.

But enthusiast Sam wasn't going to miss an opportunity.

He invited the lads in "for a cuppa and a chat". This was all it took to make peace. Now they visit the Jesus Army in Coventry regularly.

"I'd like to see at least one of them have the bravery to get past what their mates think and say 'I believe in Jesus'" says Sam "that's what I'm aiming and praying for."
