HMS NELSON
Date:		Wed26-Oct-2011
Time:
Location:		ROYAL NAVY BASE PORTSMOUTH
		A Tough Talk team recently visited HMS Nelson at the Royal Navy Base in Portsmouth which is at the heart of the city of Portsmouth and has been an integral part of the city since 1194. The base is home to almost two-thirds of the Royal Navy's surface ships, including the aircraft carriers, Type 42 destroyers, Type 23 frigates and a mine countermeasure squadron, as well as fishery protection and training units. The initial invitation to the base was received from the Fleet Chaplaincy at HMS Nelson and was hosted by the Naval Christian Fellowship. The Fellowship has over 300 members serving in the Royal Navy and associated Services and about 150 in other navies. Its prime concern is to help and encourage Christians in the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Royal Fleet Auxiliary to be able to live a Christian lifestyle within the harsh environment of a seagoing ship or shore-based establishment and subsequently bear witness to their messmates.The venue was the Victory Club: VICTORY CLUB The audience consisted of naval recruits and other sailors and staff. THE AUDIENCE The team consisted of Arthur White, Simon Pinchbeck and Joe Lampshire. During the evening, all three men gave their testimonies: ARTHUR, SIMON and JOE Joe demonstrated the bench press and at the end of his demo there was 180kg on the bar: JOE BENCHPRESS Members of the audience participated in a very lively benchpress competition. We have since received reports of the meeting and we learnt that several of those there were challenged to think about the claims of Jesus and two have since decided to make their faith public by being baptized.
