MINI HOLIDAY BREAK IN MID WALES, AND BRIEF REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEKEND IN CROSS KEYS AND PONTYPOOL.

Dear Friends,

I enjoyed a lovely pre-winter break in Mid Wales last week courtesy of my very generous mother Kathleen, therefore Gilly, mother, and myself had a splendid time in the western parts of the UK.  We spent some quality time with my good friend Nancy Williams (from Nancy's Farm), who sadly recently lost her dear son Gwyn to cancer. She is till very distraught and is in need of our continual prayers.

On the Friday evening of November 9th, we had a great time of fellowship, food and ministry at a new location for me at the "UPPER ROOM" in CROSS KEYS near NEWPORT with lovely and jovial hosts as John and Di Whittle. I spoke on the subject "THE DARK BEFORE THE DAWN", in these perilous latter times in which we live, as part of an on-going series I normally preach in new venues under the umbrella title of "THE LAST DAYS"! There was a good attendance, and a lovely warm atmosphere of fellowship as we split the talk into two sessions. The event was recorded and might be available to watch on this blog soon.

The following day, on Saturday the 9th November, we moved further up the depressed valleys of South East Wales to Torfaen, and to the home and the church of my good friends Neville and Hazel Stephens near Pontypool.

They have run the ZION church and the Pontypool branch of the PWMI for nearly two years now, but sadly have decided to close this fellowship down and to move on to pastures new. I was very privileged to be the first speaker at PONTYPOOL back in February 2012, and it was my honour again to be the guest speaker to close proceedings at this lovely old church building.

I took three full sessions at Zion under the general heading of "GOD IS SPEAKING TO THE NATIONS TODAY....THROUGH ISRAEL", and there was also a full Q&A session to conclude a long but very fulfilling day of praise in the Lord. The final session also embraced a section which we called "THANK YOU AND GOODBYE", as we gave thanks for the faithful service of Neville and Hazel, and brought the final curtain down on the Christian meetings and activities taking place at dear old Zion Church in Talywain. All of these four gatheings were recorded by our good friend Keith Cline from Bristol, and will soon be available on DVD for the generous price of just £10.

We always enjoy our regular visits to this area, for we love coming to South Wales every year, and although Zion has now closed, we will still come back to minister at The Upper Room, Nancy's Farm, The Salvation Army, and anywhere else we are asked to attend in South Wales.

Every Blessing,
BRIAN.
