Sermons

The Gospel Tent was pitched in a park on Keble Road, Bicester, for six weeks in the summer of 2007. Two missionaries preached nightly - John McCann from Brazil and Elton Fairfield from Japan. You can pick up the unique Tent atmosphere from these recordings - the generator humming in the background, voices of children playing in the nearby park, no echo off the canvas walls - everything but the smell of the grass under your feet. This was a fruitful series marked by powerful preaching.
