Near the birdsnest

"Football is not a matter of life and death, it is more important than that."

Bill Shankly, Liverpool Football manager

The 2008 Olympics

Stuart was in Beijing for 20 day including the whole of the Olympics. Working as an accredited journalist, he wrote for Oxford Mail, Coleraine Chronicle, The Times online as well as contributions to Premier Christian Radio, 2K+ international media and More Than Gold Radio.

Serving as an unofficial chaplain, he was able to meet seven Christians in Team GB as well as believers from other counties. It was an awesome time with God opening so many open doors and bringing about several "co-incidental" encounters.
