Christians welcome queuers to Wimbledon

by Aaron James

The Love All Serve All group has been praying, listening, chatting and offering free refreshments to people in the infamously long queues, some of whom have been waiting two days for tickets.

Love All Serve All is part of Third Space Ministries, a Christian initiative which looks to work in places of spiritual, rather than physical poverty. They also work in nightclubs in the UK and abroad.

Carolyn Skinner, who leads Love All Serve All, told Premier's News Hour: "We go down for an hour every evening. We want to welcome people to the most famous queue in the world, and to offer them free refreshments, a listening ear, offer them pray and just enjoy some fun banter and conversation with them.

"All sorts of issues come up to do with bereavement, health issues, unemployment issues. It's amazing how people will open up to a stranger.

"Jesus is everywhere and we are called to enhance the presence of God in all sorts of places. There's places of physical poverty and places of spiritual poverty.

"The response has been so warm. Lots of them are regulars. We've been doing it for many years now so we get a wonderful welcome when we come back. People are really pleased to see us. The atmosphere is like a little mini festival there really, lots of fun."
