Strangers Rest is the media outreach effort of Strangers Rest Evangelical Church based in London, UK. The original ‘Strangers’ Rest for Seamen’ was founded by Mr. Reginald Ratcliffe, a Christian solicitor, who was used by God during the 1859 Revival of Britain. It was then that he became aware of the unhappy state of foreign sailors, particularly those from European countries, who without a knowledge of the language were at the mercy of undesirable men and women in the dock area: he had started a small ‘Rest’ for them in his home town of Liverpool and its success led him to repeat the experiment in other ports. The Mission passed through two major world wars. Despite the disruption suffered through the destruction of the building by fire bombs, the light of the glorious Gospel was never extinguished and continued to burn brightly.
