Fruitful Time in UK
Unusual Ministry in Scotland
It was a joy to minister to the enthusiastic congregation of the Dundee Full Gospel AOG Church. The weather was cold but the fellowship and the ministry was warm and six people came to the Lord. On the Sunday evening the service was turned into a studio where Pastor Des Gurr interviewed me about my relationship with Jesus and then invited the people to ask questions. What a refreshing time together.
Joyful Ministry in England
I had some precious ministry in the great A10 Mission Church in Hertfordshire pastored by Colin and Teresa Marks. They are wonderful friends and very passionate for the Lord and for missions. It's always a thrill to minister to them. They can take any challenge from the Word that you give them.. Just before the meeting I went with Pastor Colin Marks to visit Wally Perryment, a 92 year old boxer and great boxing trainer of past years. We had a great time reminiscing about boxers of the past but when I asked him if he had a relationship with Jesus, he replied, "Absolutely. I couldn't manage without Him".
I enjoyed a wonderful Sunday morning service with the Tree of Life Fellowship in Gloucester where God blessed us tremendously. I was very privileged to be the speaker at a special Saturday breakfast for the Bognor Regis Baptist Church, and share my experiences at the Beijing Olympics. Many were encouraged and challenged to be bolder witnesses for Christ.
The next day I enjoyed ministering at the Staplehurst Evangelical Free Church at a great Sunday service.
At the Deal Pentecostal Church in Deal Kent (near Dover) I had a great Sunday morning with these precious people led by Pastors Paul and Margaret Fermor. The Holy Spirit
moved very powerfully and a number of needy people were deeply touched by the Lord.
The Business Mens Fellowship Outreach Dinner in Wigan, near Manchester, was a wonderful time of fellowship, with Allan Jones and his son Stuart, as well as outreach to the business community. The Mayor of the city of Wigan attended the function in his official capacity. He and his assistant sat directly in front of me as I shared my testimony. He was not well and was having serious surgery in a few weeks time. It was a joy to lay hands on him and pray for God's healing and strengthening touch on his life. The time was very fruitful with four people coming to the Lord and many hurting lives touched by God's healing power.
Last weekend in May I flew to Glasgow for a great Business Mens Fellowship Outreach Dinner in Motherwell led by Ricki Hutchison. God moved in a very sweet way on these people and a number of men came to the Lord. Peter Wallace from Canterbury accompanied me and blessed the people with his guitar playing and singing a few Russian songs. My good friends Donald MacNeillie and Michael & Ginty McKirdy came over to help us in a marvellous way.
Following that The Kilsyth Community Church hosted a wonderful weekend of ministry. Pastor Mark Fleming gave me free reign in the church at a Saturday Men's Breakfast where these strong men were challenged to be God's men in every way. An unscheduled youth prayer meeting on Saturday night was an amazing place to be in God's presence. The two Sunday services were precious with people coming to the Lord.
