Terry began by speaking about his own book, Spirit-Filled Church, having first made the point that there are also many books in the bookstore here that he recommends that are written by writers outside our movement. Bob Roberts, Ed Stetzer, and many other names familiar to readers of the blog are represented here. Terry preached on Hebrews 12 once more. You can download the audio, or read my notes here: We saw yesterday what it means to get started in the race, and how to get rid of things … [Read more...]
TOAM Session 4 David Stroud on the future of UK Newfrontiers
July 13, 2011 By 1 Comment
David Stroud explained that he would not be preaching as such this session but instead sharing his heart for the future of Newfrontiers here in the UK. You can download the audio or read my notes here: He began by saying how grateful he was to be part of this family of churches. We left churches because of nostalgia. So we don’t want to do that. But, there is a difference between nostalgia and gratitude. He explained that he went to one week at the Downs Bible week had totally changed his … [Read more...]
TOAM – Mobilise Tom Shaw on The Fear of God (2 Corinthians 5:11)
July 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Today I decided to smuggle myself into the first of the Mobilise session. Mobilise is a confernece within a conference. They attend most of the main sessions of TOAM but have their own main times and seminars as well. I understand that Mobilise will continue although the parent conference will not. Having enjoyed my time at Mobilise USA earlier in the year, I suspected I was in for a treat. I was right. The worship was powerful, and included an awesome time of response to what can and should be … [Read more...]
Terry Virgo on the reverberations of Mark Driscoll's visit to TOAM
July 13, 2011 By 2 Comments
This morning Terry Virgo tweeted "Thanks @PastorMark for your courage & clarity in motivating us in Newfrontiers to move forward. Here we go!" He was of course referring to the time Driscoll came and lobbed a few grenades in our direction. Driscoll urged us to pray for Terry that he would know the right timing to hand over this movement. He actually said "to a man, or men," though most of us heard it as to a single man. This week, Terry is handing over Newfrontiers but not to a … [Read more...]

TOAM Session 2 – Terry Virgo (Hebrews 12)
July 12, 2011 By Leave a Comment
After another pumping time of worship, PJ was given the opportunity to share what has happened this past year. He explained that he has been told he is in remission from his cancer. It was an emotional moment as it was quite literally this time last year that we all heard of the diagnosis. He explained that he is currently feeling very well, and the only lasting effects are tiredness (he needs 10 hours sleep a night) and some damage to his leg after a DVT. He is praying for healing for that, … [Read more...]
TOAM: Session 1 Scott Marques on Courageous Faith (Hebrews 11)
July 12, 2011 By 3 Comments
So it begins! We started as always with worship. It was a wonderful time in the presence of God. There was a real rise in faith. The enthusiasm, especially as we sang “You Alone Can Rescue” was electric. How wonderful to worship with thousands of charismaniacs! Scott took us to Hebrews 11. You can listen to this talk or read my notes here. The common thread that is seen in every single one of the heroes of faith in this chapter is that they did courageous things for God. The faith they … [Read more...]
TOAM: Interview with Nigel Ring
July 12, 2011 By 4 Comments
Nigel Ring is a great hero of mine. I love the way he has faithfully served the ministry of Newfrontiers for decades. He has been so loyal, so humble, and so willing to lay his life down that the ministry of others might develop to the full potential. He has personally run every Downs, Stoneleigh and Together On A Mission event. No wonder Terry Virgo dedicated his new book Spirit-Filled Church to this man. But as I point out at the beginning of this interview, he did steal away my favorite … [Read more...]
