 We were invited to a Glory Meeting at Ripon A.O.G. Church approximately fifteen years ago. Also we attend the home of Tom and Jean Spence for periodic meetings where the presence of God has been quite awesome.
Summer 2001 was our first visit to Walton-on-the-Naze Glory Convention. We were able to share at these meetings some things regarding our visits to Brazil, South America.
There is that "extra special anointing" at the meetings when the Holy Spirit is moving. Nothing can compare to the Glory of His presence. This is what the Bible says; "when brethren dwell together in unity – there God commands the blessing". Psalm 133.
Anointed chorus singing hits a level beyond human ability and Derek enjoys playing accordion with the worship team. He has grown spiritually in many ways through exposure to these meetings. Every meeting is different. We never know what God is going to do. That’s what makes it so exciting.
Since 2000 we have been particularly busy God told us to "move on and move out"! We went to Columbia recently to learn about the G12 vision of Cesar and Claudia Castellanos at the Mission Charismatica Church International. We plan to introduce this vision at one of the churches where we minister in Brazil.
Much time is spent travelling and we have had invitations to South Africa, Northern Ireland Ghana Pakistan and Kenya. Margaret written her first book which is a testimony to the faithfulness of God in her life.

During our recent visit to Pakistan (read Pakistan 2007) we prayed for a Pastors son from a Village outside of Lahore Pakistan, We prayed for him for about three weeks every day, Then after the Bible School Teaching, (he was one of the Students) He manifested with a fit in a way we have never seen before. He was so wild it took four people to hold him so he would not hurt himself, We rebuked the spirit in Jesus Name, but it seemed that nothing had happened.
The news from Pakistan several months on is that he has not had fit since Praise the Lord
In the past he was very badly burned as the evil spirit had thrown him into the fire many times just like the story that Jesus told in Mark Ch 9, what a change Jesus can make.

Pakistan is not the place for the faint hearted. So for those who wish to go there to visit, it is imperative to know, that you know, that you know, God has indeed called you there. We discovered these truths on our first trip to Sialkot in 2006, and, when invited again to Lahore, we were in much prayer before hand.Lahore was completely different to what we expected. God always surprises and stretches us constantly.We were met at the airport by a delegation of 18 happy excited children and Pastors from the schools and churches. Smiling faces, giggling girls and noise - lots of noise. The minibus did not look big enough to hold us all, plus our luggage, consequently we were packed in like sardines. On arrival at the first school at Kalig Nagar and our accommodation more excitement and many people greeting us with beautiful rose petals and neck garlands. A very moving experience.

This is the scripture that came to mind as I looked on the people of Pakistan worshipping the Lord at the Revival Festival 2006 Rev 7: 9-10 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no-one could count, from every nation,tribe,people and language standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb.
What an awesome event! We arrived at our destination Sialkot, Pakistan, on Friday 17th Nov 2006 at 2.30p.m.after leaving home the previous day at 6.30a.m. in the morning. This will give you some idea of the length of the journey.
"Was it worth it?" Yes, a million times yes to see the Christians gathered from all the surrounding villages, praising our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Planning for this event started, I suppose, at the Glory Holiday week in August at Walton- on -the- Naze, when Alan told us we had been invited to minister in Pakistan.
