The Revival of "Seen and Heard"

  "And now, Lord, consider their threats, and enable Your servants to speak Your word with complete boldness, as You stretch out Your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of Your holy servant Jesus. After they had prayed, their meeting place was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly" Acts 4:29-31 Yesterday, I made another pilgrimage to Soar y Mynydd, the most remotest chapel in Wales. My first visit was back in November of 2024, just after I returned home here from America. The place captivated me, and has become one of my most favorite places in Wales.  On my pilgrimage yesterday I was joined by one of my best friends from Germany, Dr Guido. We have been friends for almost thirty years, ever since he came to do some of his paediatric training in Merthyr. We both love Revival, and I really enjoy taking people to Soar who understand and appreciate its significance. We spent a couple of hours just sitting, ...

Do We Need More Church Planting?

  "As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’   Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons.  Freely you have received; freely give" Matthew 10:8 When I pastored in America I followed a pattern of Church leadership that I had been taught for almost thirty years.  Even though the church I pastored in America was not related to those churches , their church model heavily influenced me, it's all I had really known. I was able to build a network of thirty-five churches in three years. These were based in the US, Nepal, Pakistan, and Kenya. At the end of that season of pastoring I was offered to take over the care of twenty churches in India. I chose to say "no" to that offer, even though I had ministered powerfully in one of those churches on a visit there, hence the invitation to oversee those churches. That would've been 55 churches within our small network, in three years, if I had accepted. Ov...

Open Our Eyes Lord, We Want To See Jesus!

-
Image
When we were at Blaenannerch for our last Gathering of Rainmakers (June 28th 2025), the Holy Spirit led us to seek to see Jesus in a fresh way. The context was about how John, on Patmos (Revelation 1:9-20), saw Jesus like he had never seen Him before. The very apostle who rested his head on Jesus' chest, needed to see Jesus as He is now. John was even looking in the wrong direction when Jesus called to him. We feel Wales is in a similar place. Our nation needs to turn to Him, and see Jesus like never before! During that precious time of worship at Blaenannerch, I then felt a prompting to sing a song that I have not sung for maybe decades - "Open Our Eyes Lord"! I grabbed my phone to find the lyrics. We then sang it a few times and people began to receive a fresh revelation of Jesus, that led to a precious and powerful time of people praying for each other. I felt the Holy Spirit impress upon me that this is the cry for this coming season. Not only to see angels or signs, ...

How to Present the Whole Gospel in Wales!

-
Image
  A friend drew the above picture, while I was teaching on Healing at a conference in Merthyr a few years ago. I love it. Jesus is depicted as praying for two people, a "2 for the Pirce of 1" special! I love it! THIS is part of the Gospel we are called to display. A Gospel that saves the whole person, Spirit, Soul, and Body. I wish to post an excerpt from my book "Village to Village (V2V)" that speaks about the Biblical precedent for "Proclamation and Demonstration" in presenting the Gospel:

The Way of the Rainmakers...

As someone who didn't really do well at school, I never thought that I would ever become an author, to date, of five books. In early highschool I never read books, but then around the age of fifteen I bought my first Christian book called, "Make your Faith Work" by Paul Yongi Cho. It was a shorter book, and I finished my first book. I wanted another book to read, then another, then another.  I also began to read books that had been turned into movies, or the published version of the movie. I devoured those books because I loved movies.  After reading many shorter Christian books, I remember having a thought that someday I would like to publish books like these because they had helped me learn so much. Rather than investing a lot of time on one long book, which for me could take months to read as I'm not a fast reader, I found that I could get the gist of a subject in a shorter book and be set. I did read longer books, for sure, but it took time to build up the discipl...

One Day...

  "Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come...Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things; by Your will they exist and were created.” (Revelation 4:8, 11) Here we end our 10 Day Devotional with the cry of heaven. There are two groups that seem to flow in this "call and response" between eachother. The first are the Four-Living Creatures, their cry is a declaration of the Holiness of God. It does not seem to be addressed to the "One" sat on the throne, but a verbal fanfare of Truth. This, in turn, provokes a response from the Twenty-four Elders who are sat on thrones around the Throne. They fall down before the Throne, either on their knees, or on their faces. Then they cast their crowns before the Throne while declaring praises to the "One" sat on the Throne. There is a misconception that when we get to heaven that it will be one big worship service FOREVER! John w...

Two Days...

  "And before the throne was something like a sea of glass, as clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, covered with eyes in front and back. The first living creature was like a lion, the second like a calf, the third had a face like a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight. And each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around and within. Day and night they never stop saying: 'Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!' And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to the One seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever" (Revelation 4:6-9) I'm going to introduce these Four Living Creatures. But, first, something LIKE a Sea of Glass captures John's attention. Moses experienced this on Mount Sinai, "Under his feet was like a pavement made of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself" (Exodus 24:10) I keep a small sapphire...
