HISTORY OF DAVID JEBSON
82 year old David Jebson says he is re-fired, not retired! He served as a radar mechanic with the RAF from 1944 to 1948 and committed his life to Christ early in 1946 whilst in India. Before going to theological college he was a civil servant but gave this up in 1950 to work with the Liverpool City Mission. David Jebson began writing ‘Thought for the Week’ for a Liverpool paper in 1984 when he was Director of the Liverpool City Mission. He has written well over 1000 ‘Thoughts’ ! After 20 years on the staff he became director of the Mission in 1971 and continued until his retirement in 1991. Since then he has worked voluntarily with Chester City Mission. He is chaplain to Chester market, uses visual aids to teach Bible stories in school assemblies and conducts services in residential homes. He is
a Christian communicator who seeks to get the message across in
a way that people can understand. His wife Thelma also speaks at many meetings and plays a keyboard to provide music at schools etc. They have two daughters and five grandchildren
HYMNBOOK EVANGELISM
Why not contact us and ask to be sent the weekly ‘Thought’ in leaflet form by e-mail? You then put your local church details on the back. Put one of these in each hymnbook every Sunday then ask people to pass this on to one person each week. Or just give them out with the church bulletin each week. This method is designed to encourage Christians to distribute Gospel literature. Have spare leaflets available so that hopefully some may want to give away more than one.
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK IN NEWSPAPERS
Ask the editor of your local paper to start a ‘Thought for the Week’ column. These can always been downloaded off our website. Please let us know if you are successful, quoting the name of the newspaper and contact details.
