John. J. John has been described as a creative speaker with an appeal that transcends gender, age, race, culture and occupation. His much-loved art of storytelling helps people to discover spiritual meaning in a way that makes sense of everyday life. He has been speaking of the relevance of Christianity since 1975.<br \/>\nIn addition to hearing J. John speak the evening will consist of testimonies and music from Noel Robinson who wrote, among others, the classic songs \u201cAll heaven declares\u201d \u201cCome Lord Jesus\u201d and \u201cHe is Risen.\u201d  The Portsmouth Gospel Choir (which is where I come i ) will also be there singing songs such as today\u2019s featured song \u201cI Love You Lord\u201d and \u201cMustard Seed of Faith\u201d both of which can be downloaded via https:\/\/mustardseedsongs.hearnow.com\/<br \/>\n\u201cJust One\u201d has already taken place, with thousands and thousands,  in attendance  at the Arsenal Football Club ground and Gillingham Football club ground. It was originally going  to take place at Portsmouth Football club\u2019s Fratton Park but when this was not available Mick contacted the Portsmouth Guildhall who were delighted to stage the event.<br \/>\nThe amazing \u201cJust One\u201d  which took place at the Emirates Stadium (Arsenal\u2019s ground) is captured in this video https:\/\/justone.co.uk\/emirates\/<br \/>\nBy the way I will tell you  more of Mick and \u201cFaith and Football\u201d in next week\u2019s blog- meanwhile Caroline, Genna  and I are off to stay at Caroline\u2019s brother\u2019s place in Malvern to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Caroline\u2019s twin brother Chris has a Labrador puppy called Bella so lots of dog walking in the Malvern Hills is on the cards.<br \/>\nQuote for the week<br \/>\nMoney is a universal provider for everything but happiness and a passport to everywhere but to heaven.<br \/>\nEvery Day With Jesus <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I Love You Lord (Laurie Klien) featuring the Portsmouth Gospel Choir from the EP &#8220;How Great Are His Signs&#8221; recorded and produced by Joffy Girling I am privileged to have been asked by my dear friend Mick Mellows to be part of the team that is putting on the \u201cJust One\u201d event in the Portsmouth [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ken-shearsmiths-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1854","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1854"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1854\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1859,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1854\/revisions\/1859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
