Tell-A-Tourist

Chester, 4 – 18 July 2008

Tell-A-Tourist (TAT) is a two-week mission in summer, held in the historic city of Chester witnessing to local and overseas tourists. It is organised by a group of twelve churches in Chester with a vision to reach the world for Christ, taking advantage of their strategic location because the world comes to them. Our National Director, Dave Bennett, leads the team and provides training for this mission.

In 2007, the team had opportunities to have conversations with tourists from 91 different nationalities and gave away literature in 48 languages. The aim was to befriend visitors to Chester and where possible share your faith with them. The team ran an exhibition in the cathedral, evening coffee bars and used short questionnaires to engage people with their views. It is one of the best two-week introductions to mission available in the UK and full training is given. The cost last year was £90 which includes all meals, accommodation in church halls and a contribution towards the cost of the campaign.

Many testify that their two weeks in Chester was a life changing experience. To read some of these stories, click here.
