In the past few weeks, RealityBites director Mark Roques has partnered with Whistling Frog Productions (Bradford) and St George’s church in Leeds to bring RB stories and teaching to thousands of people in West Yorkshire.

On Christmas day Mark delivered six football monologues on the Pulse of West Yorkshire radio station to approximately 136,000 listeners! He told the story of Jesus’ birth through the lens of five football fans from England, France, Germany, Spain and Russia. There was a clear gospel challenge to follow Jesus and not Herod! Feedback has been excellent.

In January Mark and RealityBites co-worker Gareth Jones were invited to participate in three evenings entitled Big Questions by St George’s curate Jon Swales. Mark and Gareth not only presented two RealityBites talks but they also answered questions about the Christian faith and prayed for several non-Christian men. Again the feedback was excellent.

RealityBites is having a spiritual impact on the lives of believers and non-believers and we would like to thank you for all your support and prayers.
