Today I check out a local 'Praise in the Park' - a Christian event in Cassiobury Park, Watford, UK, twenty miles outside of London. I speak to two evangelicals who have very different backgrounds - one who grew up in a Christian family, and one who knew nothing but atheism until an apparent miraculous event changed his mind. I ask both about challenges to their faith.

MICHAEL was born into an evangelical family. He describes himself as being 'in the world but apart from it'. He tells me he is concerned about the state of the world, what with single parent family & gay marriage being so prominent. When challenged, Michael calls upon the Holy Spirit.

ANDY came out of a humanist background. But when his troublemaker brother was healed from a gastric pain at a Christian event, Andy began to follow the teachings of Jesus & joined the neo-charismatic New Frontiers. But there are still challenges - like still trying to figure out why his mother got cancer within six months of becoming a Christian...
