Admiral Street

I like Toxteth.

It's a strange place, certainly strange for me. I remember coming to Liverpool for the first time, my first real trip to the inner city for a true suburbanite. It was an eye opener, but somehow God has called me to be part of the Tab in Toxteth.

One of my favourite parts of travelling to the Tab is Admiral Street, where you get the most amazing view of the cathedral dominating everything.

It's a strange contrast, the grand cathedral and the run down streets. God's been teaching me that the people don't need a huge and glamorous building, and it's been amazing to see how he has used such a small body of believers in Toxteth to reach the local community, but in some ways it also feels like a work that's just beginning. The Tab has learned how to serve the local community, and now we need to learn how to reach them with the gospel.

There are lots of things about Toxteth I still don't understand, or appreciate, but I do like Admiral Street.
