His long anticipated tour of Great Britain is coming:

Start Môn 17 Oct 2011
Finish Wed 26 Oct 2011

Here’s his schedule*:

Let's pray for our Brother, that he stands firm in the face of the rhetoric, and that God guides him to an emphatic victory.

God bless, Bill

*as has been the way, the schedule could change again , but let’s hope the debate with Stephen Law stands. He’s certainly had no shortage of advice from some very nervous backers…

…who are trying to prepare Law as best they can.

You will be victorious , Bill, and you will win with style.

I believe these types of events are very important, important in such a way that we may not see "the fruits of the labor" for decades. But I do believe it has a substantial impact. I'll keep it in my prayers.

While I do enjoy a lot of what Craig has to say, I will pray that God will get the glory, not that Craig will "win" the debate. IMO we can't overlook the ultimate reason that he is debating. I hope it is to bring glory to his God, not to win a debate with his wit, or embarrass someone he is debating.
I also pray that God will use W.L. Craig to speak to those listening who are open to the truth.

Rick, of course it's about winning the debate. No-one is overlooking anything ultimate. This is a battle of worldviews, and if you don't like it then that's your prerogative. But this pseudo-pious waffle about not wanting the term “win” pronounced seems like political correctness gone mad.

Reactionary, may I ask where is Europe you are?

I understand Danny, but IMO, prayer only works when it's God's will, not man's desires. Just clarifying that. Nothing else intended. Surely not political correctness. I'm the least politically correct person I know. If you meant pray for God's glory by your statement, that's fine. Just making it clear to the ones less informed than you and I.

Yes, of course...

There, I updated my location.

It’s all to God’s glory, Bro.

And His will be done.

Ah...nice to know, Reactionary. Thank you

Yup praying for him to make a great impact on people for the glory of God. I definitely know his work helped me be firm in my faith of the existence of God more than any other person or apologist in my first few months as a christian if not even later on - as i am sure it has with others and hopefully this time too!

Yeah i think "win" is the right word - winning is what makes a great positive impact on the people. All for God's glory!!

God bless!

Lots of prayers! May the Holy Spirit fill Mr. Craig with words of humility, truth and shocking logic

If anyone can find the picture of Oxford buses with the slogan "There Probably is No Dawkins" then please put it up on this thread...I've seen it in my 'newsletter' from Reasonablefaith but can't get a link on it

The hypocrisy of Dawkins is unbelievable... a bit like atheism

Thanks, Grizz, but that's not the one. That's a Sun Newspaper campaign, I think! The picture I'm trying to find is of buses in Oxford City Centre(white single decker buses) ... still looking
