PARAKLETOS 2010 Mission Accomplished
He came. As did hundreds of persons, but the testimony of PARAKLETOS 2010, the enduring pleasure we feel, the marvel and wonder and delight of it all, is that He came. God came, and His presence was tangible, was real, and changed lives. This time we wanted more than people falling under the power, we wanted more than they being blessed, we wanted a prayer army. We wanted God to get hold of our lives and mobilize us to pray as we had never prayed before, we wanted God to change our perspective, to turn prayer into a delightful and desirable thing, to shake our complacency to see that the future of this continent will be determined by those men and women who get on their knees and cry out to God. And He did.
The place resounded with the cry ‘Europe shall be saved’. And a group of people from different nations, the Netherlands, France, the UK, Germany, the Ukraine, Poland, together rose up in Read more

Announcing Parakletos 2010- European prayer conference
Good, good, good news. As some of you are already aware, we are organizing a prayer conference in January 2010 with the support of some key ministries. God has a way of sneaking up on us sometimes and that He has certainly done in this instance. He took us step by step building faith, courage, conviction and gradually revealed His eternal purpose and all we can say is yes Lord.
Can anyone possibly doubt that prayer is vital for divine activity? And can anyone doubt t Read more
Pentecost – a walk through history
Yesterday we celebrated Pentecost and the awesome work of the Holy Spirit in the church. Is there a more apposite time to look back over the the church’s historic experience with the Holy Spirit? I wrote the article below as part of our commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Azusa Street revival. It will draw you into august company as wide ranging as John Wesley, Ambrose of Poitiers, Augustine, the mendicant friars, etc and you may draw fresh encouragement from the richness of their experience with God.

God is interactive.
God speaks. That in essence is what I sought to communicate yesterday. It is funny but I did not always think that God spoke. After becoming a Christian, which in itself was no mean achievement, not for me, I was the resister; I still had difficulty with the idea of God talking to just anyone. It seemed somewhat fanciful. Surely He would have more on His hands than engage in conversation with me, or some of my friends, or any of the sundry characters i encountered in the course of my meanderings through Christendom.
I guess like many cultural Christians i had a strong understanding of the transcendence of God but not of His immanence. He was high, divine, remote, powerful, even loving, but distant. I believed that He did intervene sometimes in human affairs, deist I was not, He answered prayer, but as to Him talking, and, to just anyone, it took some getting used to.
One of my friends Margaret regularly bore the brunt of our humour. She would say God spoke to her and Read more
prophetic word
At the end of the morning session at Parakletos2, I received this prophetic word that shook me to my core, as you will soon see. What a joy it is to know Jesus and know that He truly cares :
