‘Heaven touched earth’: 52 commit to Christ during British evangelists' London street outreach with Korean choir

A 140-member choir from Zion Mission (Korea) in Vancouver, Canada, joined British evangelists in a bold street outreach in central London last month, resulting in 52 people making commitments to Christ and more than 8,000 gospel tracts distributed.

The event, hosted by London Shepherd Church, a Pentecostal congregation based in South London, was followed by a performance at the Royal Albert Hall and included a visit to historic Christian sites such as the grave of John Bunyan and the birthplace of John Wesley.

The choir previously visited the birthplace of Methodism founder John Wesley and worshipped God at the grave of preacher John Bunyan. 

Alistair Knight preached the gospel at the event. He is the founder and leader of Jesus Pulse, a bold evangelism ministry, and "soon to be registered charity," based in the UK. 

“I lead and disciple a team of evangelists, organise street outreaches across London, and oversee our digital and prayer ministries,” Knight explained to Christian Daily International. 

“My role includes teaching, training, and ensuring that everything we do—from livestream deliverance prayers to Camden street preaching—stays rooted in Scripture, Spirit-led, and fruitful for the Kingdom.

“I also mentor upcoming evangelists and create accountability structures to help believers walk in holiness, power, and boldness.”

Knight said how the event held in the heart of London had been a warm afternoon, which helped to create a convivial atmosphere for the outreach. 

“The sun was out, the air gentle, and the streets alive with energy,” he recalled. “Amid the usual noise and movement, we set up—ready to lift up the name of Jesus through worship and preaching.”

The choir for the event “came together beautifully” with the South Koreans from Canada joined by others from UK churches. 

“There was a powerful unity among us,” said Knight. “When they began to sing, it wasn’t just music—it was anointed. People stopped in their tracks. Some looked confused, others curious, and many were visibly moved. You could feel the presence of God resting on that place.

“The sound of worship pierced the air—songs about the love and mercy of Jesus, echoing across the square. And it wasn’t long before a crowd started to gather.”

At that point, Knight stepped forward to preach. He felt determined not to speak “clever words” but to boldly claim the truth of the gospel, he said. First of all he shared his testimony about how Jesus saved him from an immoral sexual lifestyle, and from being a drug dealer. Then he shared what the Bible teaches about salvation. 

“I shared my testimony and the Gospel plainly—how Jesus came to save sinners, how He took our place on the cross, how He offers forgiveness and eternal life to all who believe. I spoke from the heart, telling them how I once lived a life of darkness, selling drugs, chasing sin—until Jesus encountered me at 18 and completely turned my life around.

“That part always hits home. People can feel it when you’ve really been changed.”

Knight observed churchgoers from London, supporting the event, walking through the crowd as he preached. 

“They weren’t there to observe—they were praying, speaking with people, laying hands, leading souls in prayer. It became a holy moment in the middle of an ordinary street.

“Some mocked. That always happens. But many listened. Some asked questions. A few wept.

“That’s the power of the Gospel. That’s what happens when Jesus is glorified in the open.”

From Knight’s perspective, the event wasn’t a concert or performance but an offering to God—”and He came,” he said. 

“The unity, the worship, the bold preaching—it all worked together for one purpose: to lift up Jesus and call people to repentance and faith,” added Knight, “And that day, in the warmth of a London afternoon, heaven touched earth.”

Speaking further about his own encounter with Christ, Knight said that at the age of 18 he had a supernatural encounter with Jesus Christ that completely transformed him. 

“It wasn’t religion — it was power. Jesus broke into my life, delivered me, and called me to Himself,” he recalled. 

“From that moment, everything changed. The chains fell off. My purpose became clear. I didn’t just stop sinning — I started preaching. I now live to make Him known, and to call others out of darkness into His marvellous light.”

The Jesus March is not related to the March for Jesus founded by the late Gerald Coates, former leader of the Pioneer church network in the UK, which occurred in the 1990s. 

Further events are planned by Jesus Pulse—”many more events planned,” confirmed Knight.  

“Our mission is 8,100 full time evangelists across every major city of the world. Our marches will be weekly and we already have 75 committed evangelists.”
