He said, 'I have a heart for London and the millions of people spread across the capital. Yes, we have a formidable challenge in front of us in communicating and demonstrating the gospel of Jesus Christ to people from so many different cultures and ethnic divides, but we are building upon the great work that churches do week in and week out.
 
'This is an opportunity for the whole Church of God to come together across London in the next eighteen months to share Jesus with their families, work colleagues and neighbours.

'I am looking forward to working with hundreds of churches and organisations and especially with HOPE during 2014, as together we bring the life transforming message of Jesus to the people of London.'

Baptist minister the Revd Stephen Gaukroger, chairman of the Crossing London Executive, described the past few months as 'challenging'.

He added, ' We now look forward to this new season of opportunity with Andy Frost leading the London-wide initiative as its mission director. We are confident that he, together with existing team members and following the original Crossing London vision, will make the next eighteen months an exciting 
time for our capital'.
