MY LOVELY LONG WEEKEND IN SOUTH EAST WALES.

My wife Gilly, my mother Kathleen, and I  have just enjoyed a tremendous weekend in South East Wales, meeting many new friends, and also re-acquainting ourselves with many old friends and supporters!

On Friday evening, the 18th November, I made my speaking debut at the Ebbw Vale PWMI, and my message on "The Shaking Of All Things" seemed to be well received by the audience of approx fifty saints of God. The singing was typically Welsh, that is loud, from the heart, and a lovely joyful noise unto the Lord.

The local Pastor, Jason Pennington from Manchester made us all feel very welcome, as did Dulcie and Marion, who organise the Ebbw Vale branch, and also the PWMI's Byron Jones who was a great help in chairing the proceedings.

On the Saturday we took a double seminar at Nancy Williams' delightful 17th century farmhouse in Bassaleg, near Newport, titled "Wisdom And Strength in the Last Days", looking at current world events, and discussing the nearness of the approaching Rapture of the Church to glory. This was our fourth visit to Nancy's in the last three years or so, and we always receive a very warm welcome there.

The meeting area was so crowded that we had to use the overflow room at the back, but as it was being recorded and beamed live into this room, no one missed out. The meetings were scheduled to finish around 4.30pm, but there were so many questions in the Q&A session, that we did not finish until nearly 6pm!

Even then we were treated to another splendid time of fellowship as fifteen of us had a lovely meal together at Nancy's, interspersed with some excellent fellowship, friendship, and discussion.

The weekend concluded with the Sunday morning service at the City of Refuge Church in Bassaleg, where once again, the joint pastors of Tony Spearing and Ron Crahart made us all feel very much at home

The two meetings at Nancy's Farm were recorded by our good friend Keith Cline from Bristol, and you can obtain DVD copies by writing to him at keith.cline@talk21.com.

The Sunday morning service was also recorded, and is available by download from the City of Refuge website, or by contacting me.

Many thanks to everyone who made the three of us feel "one of them" in every way, and also to the many people who travelled many miles to be in attendance at the three venues.

We are coming back to Newport and Bassaleg for another long weekend of ministry and fellowship in February, and all of the details will be here on this blog in due course.

In the meanwhile, you can obtain all of the info of this visit from Neville Stephens, the Secretary of the Newport PWMI branch, at his blog at http://www.propheticwitnessnewportbranch.blogspot.com/.

Maranatha Blessings To You All,
Brian.
