Many decades ago Smith Wigglesworth shared the following prophecy about my nation. It was read out at the end of Dave Stroud’s session earlier today. There was a very strong sense in the room that this prophecy about what would happen in the UK had been shown to be accurate in many ways in the events of the past few decades. There was, therefore, also an expectation that just maybe the end of that word which speaks about a major... Read more

Here I am, sitting in a cinema next door to the conference center. Those of you who read regularly will realize that I’m feeling very at home, since the London church of which I’m a part also meets in a cinema. There is something about these venues that encourage you to shut out the world and close yourself in with God. I love the banked seating that enables you to see what is going on down below. That’s another point... Read more

Technical issues prevented us from publishing my friend Pedro’s notes of the first day until now. Pedro said that of the meetings so far, he was pleased to see how well attended the conference had been, and he was very pleased to see the response of the people from different churches. He felt that there was a strong sense of the presence of God. During the session led by Rob Rufus, he was reminded of the beauty of serving God,... Read more
There was a slightly longer break between the last session and this one. I took advantage of the opportunity to doze. I didn’t think I was heavily asleep, but a friend of mine said he knocked loudly on my door and called my name without getting any response! As a result of my sleep, I do feel a lot fresher and am now even more eager to hear from Dave Devenish, who will be preaching to us this evening. David... Read more

I love conferences, and especially conferences with this worldwide family I’m so thrilled to be part of. These conferences have been a part of my life for several decades. I wish I could bring all of you, my dear readers, here. These notes aim to give you something of a feel for the event. But I’m not sure I... Read more
A number of logistical and technical challenges have been conspiring against live-blogging here over the last day or so — hopefully those are now resolved and normal service can return. I am glad that Andrew Fountain has been posting — I hope you are enjoying his posts. I am thrilled to have now been able to make it here — last night at one stage it looked as though storms would prevent me from getting here this morning, but in... Read more
