Dear Friends and praying Saints:Please just keep praying and giving God thanks! What I mentioned last week in South Wales continues and wonderful things are happening. Our friends from Celebration for the Nations have reported, "There is a beautiful outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Victory Church in Cwmbran. Many are coming to salvation and the Lord is working some remarkable miracles. People are beginning to come from other parts of Wales and England to soak in the very tangible presence of the Lord. There is no hype, just worship and good gospel teaching.
Here is today's update from their web page:
Last night marked the 16th day of the "Welsh Outpouring" and God has continued to move powerfully in people’s lives. Many people have been in touch to encourage us as we continue to walk this walk, with Jesus at the wheel. This is His work, its not about any man, or any ministry and we welcome all to come and experience Gods presence as this living water continues to flow.You can check their page daily to keep abreast and what is happening, and be encouraged to pray more. And do let friends know also, as the power of prayers behind this continues to adds the whole. Here's the link again: Victory Church Outpouring in Cwmbran, South Wales!
The amount of Salvations that we are seeing is simply incredible. It was amazing to see a girl, (who got saved on Wednesday night) bring her friend on Thursday, who also gave her life to Christ! This is only one example of what is happening amongst so many families and groups of friends.
We are seeing significant breakthrough with teenagers in the church and more and more are being filled with the Holy Spirit and hungering after the things of God. Many already feel ‘called’ by God for specific tasks, this is so exciting for us as we continue to reach out to rescue the sinner.
Pastor Andrew exhorted us last night to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. This is so important, especially in a context like this, where so much is happening and so many are visiting. Amidst this mighty outpouring, we are thankful that it is only Jesus that can truly change lives!
This is all such an encouraging development, and we are looking for the tide to grow and spread. Please keep the pastors, leaders and all others serving especially in your prayers. They need all the support they can get.
Meanwhile, Gladys and I are on another visit to Majorca, a wonderful gift from friends. We are enjoying some warmer weather. It is also a blessing to meet with and encourage our Christian friends here that we've met on previous visits. Thursday we met a couple that have been praying here for about ten years, and are now seeing fruit of their labors!

A New Visitation of the Holy Spirit in South Wales!!
Dear Saints:Just learned of this on Monday and thought you would be encouraged to pray for what is going on in South Wales at Victory Church in Cwmbran. Here are some excerpts from their web page.
Throughout yesterday daytime, people came into the church and received prayer, many were filled with an intense joy. One young girl who has struggled to sleep and suffered from anxiety for the last couple of months, received prayer and immediately felt much more hopeful for her future. Others have said that they can see Jesus in the people they meet here and sense His love in action. God is continuing to draw people throughout the day to soak in Gods presence.You can read more of this developing story and see a few video clips here: Victory Church Outpouring in Cwmbran, South Wales!
Many pastors and leaders visited from all over the country yesterday and were mightily infused with passion, many reported a powerful freedom coming upon them as they worshiped, danced and received from God.
It is impossible to fully describe the intensity of joy that followed the ministry of Gods Word. The church was packed out, our car park overflowed out onto the road, as people flocked to the church to experience God’s presence. What a night it was, shackles were smashed and liberty was released on people as the church became a spiritual swimming pool! Pastor Andrew encouraged people to dive into God’s presence and not to stay at the shallow end. After preaching a prophetic word from the book of Ezekiel, the power of Gods Spirit continued to flow intensely...
A friend has also written up some background about the church and its pastor, which you can read here. These are encouraging events indeed, the beginning of the answers to many years of prayers by many precious saints throughout this land, and there is so much more to come!
Thank you for praying with us. Be encouraged as you pray for your local area and elsewhere also! And thank you Lord Jesus, let the revelation of your love and glory spread!
