‘I’ve been walking about seven and a half kilometres a day, just around my neighbourhood in the evenings,’ Emily says. ‘During my walks I’m either praying for my community, listening to the Bible or enjoying a podcast.’

Emily’s £220 could provide Bibles for 22 people who are serving prison sentences in this country. And you can bet that each one of those Bibles will be seized by someone who urgently wants to hear God’s voice. Revd Tim Wright, a prison chaplain in the Midlands, told us that seeking Jesus isn’t a hobby for prisoners: ‘These men are desperate for change.’

Bike, bake or create – what will you do to inspire your friends to share the Bible?

If you want to walk with Emily or bike like Mike, the easiest way to get people involved and manage your sponsorship funds is to set up a page on JustGiving. You’ll need to start an account, but that’s easy.

David Arkell’s book of poems, Divine Loves, is available to buy for £7.10 (£5 plus postage). It’s 110 pages long and was first published in 2019. Email him at davidharkell@yahoo.co.uk if you’d like a copy.
