The Knott End campaign: Sunday 7th November 1965

1965, the year that changed my life
Audrey’s first kiss

 1. I forget the exact dates of the Knott End campaign[1] meetings, held at the local cinema, except that they included Sunday 7th November. A coach was laid on for us to go to at least two of the meetings. We didn’t go on the ferry; we went round by the nearest road route, crossing the Wyre further upriver by the toll bridge, Shard Bridge, a journey of some 15 miles.

 2. Sunday 7th November 1965 was definitely one of the dates when we went over to Knott End by coach to support the campaign.[2] For although the campaign itself was not a success—for hardly any of the locals turned up—it was on that date that, much to everyone’s surprise, Myra Dine went forward during John Nelson Parr’s end-of-sermon appeal, her face red and her cheeks streaming with tears. Everyone thought she was already “saved”; she was, after all, the daughter of Mrs. Dine—Stella—who regularly attended Fleetwood Full Gospel Church. But Myra, realising that she had never given her life to the Lord, went forward that night. Her boyfriend at that time, Robert Miller, would later buy her a Bible, in which this date would be written.

[2] Chris Woodhead, recalling in the late 1970s the Knott End Campaign, thought that on the Sunday evening, we perhaps went over to Knott End immediately after our own meeting — to start, say, at 8.30 p.m. for an hour.

I encourage Audrey to serve the Lord
