The Keswick Convention celebrated its 150th year in 2025, and it was a great joy for us to travel to the beautiful English Lakes so that Andy Bannister could lead the morniing seminar track on evangelism in “Week 2”. All the sessions were filmed, so if you were there and want’ to recap what was said, or you missed it live, Keswick Ministries have put all the content on their YouTube Channel.
Alongside these main sessions we also got to preach in local churches, lead a meeting for Cumbrian pastors, speak at the student/young adult night and appear on the Premier Radio live from Keswick programme with John Pantry. It was quite a week! We managed to get to some of the evening celebrations and especially enjoyed Tim Chester’s exposition of Colossians – all of which yu can also find on the Keswick YouTube channel!
Amazingly Keswick don’t charge for admission, and this year saw bumper crowds. As we left on the last day of week 2, they mentioned that even more people were expected in week 3 – and we wondered where they would put them all! Andy has been to Keswick before, but the convention was all new to me- and I was really impressed. It was a joy to be part of it.
