Dear Friends,
Earlier this year I became aware of a false rumour circulating about me to the effect that I had called myself a "Prophet". This claim is completely untrue and I was at a loss to understand how it had begun to circulate and what it was based upon. I now believe that I have the explanation.
Until sometime in 2012 I used to preach regularly at a church in another part of Yorkshire and, during 2014, the church was joined by someone else called "Brian" who claims to be a "Prophet". It is understood that a communication between this church and a ministry here in York resulted in confusion between me and this other Brian. No-one bothered to check out this tale with me and discover that such an assertion and appellation would be abhorrent to me . As a result the gossip spread and was used in an attempt to destroy my ministry, blacken my character and damage my reputation as a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I am no Prophet; I only barely scrape through as a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. At no time have I ever made such a claim or said anything like it and I forgive anyone who has propagated this lie ; we all make mistakes and fail to check things out in the hurly-burly of these perilous times.
I remain, in His love, your servant in Christ,
Brian.
PS. Although we do not celebrate Christmas, a commercialised pagan festival which has nothing to do with the birth of the Lord Jesus, may Gilly and I extend warm greetings to you all and a New Year full of His Blessings.
Brian is a well known Bible teacher with a particular emphasis on Biblical end time events. Believing that these events are already underway, he believes that the Rapture of the Church to glory is imminent. Brian and Gilly (pic here with Bethan)travel throughout the UK and he also teaches in Europe and the USA. Although they are regularly in fellowships and churches who know them well, they are most happy to visit new venues to bring the message of the Gospel and the nearness of Christs return.
