Just 10 in York mission
This mission comprised ten weekly evening courses held in the
York Minster, running from April to June 2002. The course

St Michael le Belfrey (continued)
leader was J. John, a charismatic evangelical preacher. The
courses discussed the Ten Commandments and their relevance
to modern life, and the aim of the mission was to invite nonchurchgoers to explore Christianity and, hopefully, be
converted. Having been successfully carried out in other
English cities, the mission in York was organised by St.
Cuthbert’s Church, the preparations starting in 2000. Other
churches in and around York were encouraged to provide
support, consisting of donations, volunteers and prayer, and
full training was given. The mission was launched on 24th June
2001, and in December 2001 a Christmas carol concert with J.
John was held in the Minster to raise awareness of the
forthcoming mission.
