CHRIST JESUS SUPREMACY
1 Corinthians 1:23-24 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
23 but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
BLACK, BROWN, WHITE – all JOINT HEIRS TOGETHER
AS ONE IN CHRIST JESUS!
WORKING TOGETHER TO “REACH EVERY CREATURE”
Colossians 1:17-19 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
17 and he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
In an ever-changing world struggling to deal with the wrongs and rights of the past we are presenting to the World the one who has never changed, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the one who has never let us down, the one who gave his life that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have EVER LASTING LIFE!
WE INVITE YOU TO BECOME INVOLVED IN OUR PROJECTS IN AFRICA AMONGST ANGLICANS
How it all began …….
From the heart of David P Griffiths, whose dad departed for Africa in 1936 on the ship pictured here, with the heart of giving his life so that Africans receive the wonderful news, such wonderful news of the Saviour who gave his life for the whole world – so all may be equal IN HIM
The ministry continues in the 21st. century with Brian Mason who like my dad has the ethos of the Bible College of Wales in his bones, my dad in the 1930’s trained by Rees Howells himself, and Brian in the 1970’s trained by Rees Howells’ son, Samuel.
Rees Howells as a missionary to Africa, spent much time in prayer and intercession for the continent. Here he spent weeks bringing the heart of revival to South Africans, revival that saw no racial difference whatsoever, God giving his only begotten Son for whosoever!
Writes Doris Ruscoe, former Principal of the Bible College School:
From 1936 the college began to focus prayer on the international situation that was rapidly developing as Hitler tightened his grip on Germany, made an alliance with Mussolini in 1937 and in 1938 occupied Austria.
VERY IMPORTANT IN RELATION TO THE FREEDOM OF AFRICA, our heart being for CHRIST JESUS SUPREMACY who stands for freedom above the dictatorship of men ……
​
One of the most remarkable guidances of those pre-war years was the connection between the college and Ethiopia. Italy had long coveted Ethiopia and in October 1935 Mussolini ordered the invasion of the country. For various reasons no European country offered aid, and the League of Nations was too weak to intervene in an effectual way. Ethiopia fell to the Italians and the Emperor, Haile Selassie, became a fugitive in England. To Rees Howells this was a threat to the evangelisation of Ethiopia and much prayer was concentrated on the situation.
​
FROM THE OUTSET OF THE COLLEGE, THERE WAS A PASSION FOR INDIVIDUAL NATIONS NOT BEING UNDER THE CONTROL OF FOREIGN POWERS – BUT EACH NATION FREE TO FORM IT’S OWN EQUAL RELATIONSHIPS – NATION TO NATION – THUS THIS EARLY ASSOCIATION WITH ETHIOPIA …..
Meanwhile Asrate Kassa, son of the great Ras Kassa, and a young man destined to play a great part in the government of his country, came as a boarder to the Bible College School, through Alfred Buxton of the Bible Churchman’s Missionary Society. (now Crosslinks.) The Emperor visited the college and the school, and his private chaplain and his son-in-law, Abye Abebe, husband of the Princess Tshai who was doing nursing training in a London hospital, came as students to the Bible College.
Despite the apparent failure of the prayer for Ethiopia, Rees Howells assured the Emperor that the day would come when he would be restored to his country and to his throne.
THIS IS OUR HEART TODAY FOR AFRICA, A FREEDOM OF CHOICE WITHOUT DOMINATION BY FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS, BUT ALLOWING THE COMING IN OF THE CHRISTIAN GOSPEL THAT RESPECTS CHOICE, AT THE SAME TIME PRESENTS THE UNIQUE SACRIFICE OF CHRIST JESUS WHO DIED TO SAVE THE WORLD.
The Emperor came at times to the college meetings, a small but impressive figure with dark, penetrating eyes. In the summer of 1939 he and his party were camping with some of the students and schoolboys on the estate of Penllergaer, and when the European war broke out it was from there that he returned to London and then to his country and eventually to his throne. When he re-entered his capital city, Addis Ababa, he sent a cable to Rees Howells who replied, expressing his joy and promise of prayer for future peace. From that time they always exchanged greetings on the anniversary of the day when Haile Selassie re-entered Addis Ababa. One of the college doctors, Dr Margaret FitzHerbert was later decorated by the Emperor for her services to the women of Ethiopia. She became a consultant gynaecologist in the Princess Tshai Hospital in Addis Ababa and later worked in a leprosy hospital under the Sudan United Missionary society.
AS IN THE DAYS OF THE ORIGINAL COLLEGE IN SWANSEA, WE KNOW AS THEY KNEW THAT THINGS ARE CHANGED FROM THE TOP DOWN, AND WE LOOK TO WORK WITH ALL AFRICAN GOVERNMENTS IN RELATION TO THE GOSPEL MESSAGE, THAT BRINGS THE LIBERTY THAT CAN ONLY COME THROUGH CHRIST JESUS, AT THE SAME TIME HAVE A PASSION FOR HUMANITARIAN CARE AS IN THE EARLY DAYS.
Galatians 5:13 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
Some years later, in 1948, three cousins of the Kassa family, nephews of Asrate Kassa, now in high office in Ethiopia, came as boarders to the Bible College School. One of them, Hailou Desta Kassa, became an outstanding Christian leader in the school, and later a member of the Emperor’s cabinet. A great Christian gentleman and statesman, he was looking forward to great things for his country, but he, along with two of his cousins, also Asrate Kassa and Abye Abebe, were all murdered by the revolutionary government in 1975 when every member of the Emperor’s government was executed in one night.
​
OUR MINISTRY IN AFRICA IS TO DECLARE THE LIBERTY AND FREEDOM OF THE SPIRIT, A CONTINENT OF TOLERANCE, LOVE AND RESPECT FOR ONE ANOTHER WHATEVER COLOUR, RACE OR CREED, AT THE SAME TIME EMPHASIZING OUR SAVIOUR WHO GAVE HIS LIFE FOR ALL, THAT WHOSOVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE!
​
John 3:16 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Oh, the passion is here in abundance, so much abundance that we are inviting you to be a part of a great outreach in reaching every African for Christ Jesus. We look to continue the heart of my dad pictured here, the heart of Rees Howells and this heart we have taken into the 21st. century with the restoration of the Bible College of Wales.
The College was birthed here in South West Scotland with Rees Howells in the 1920’s having seen a hand written copy of the Solemn League and Covenant, signed in blood so that a nation will always recognize its calling in God, with Christ Jesus the Supreme Head of the Church, with us being HIS BODY, his branches on earth to the VINE.
John 15:5 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
​
Mark 16:15 Authorized (King James) Version
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Ephesians 4:11-12 Authorized (King James) Version
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some,
pastors and teachers; 12 for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry,
for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Having little in the way of finances, dad attended the Bible College of Wales in Swansea, being perfected in the Word and learning fluent Portuguese, a practical skill essential in those days to reach out to those in Cape Verde and what was then Portuguese Guinea, now Guinea Bissau.
The heart of our ministry and the heart of the ministry of Rees Howells was in the deepest intercession to the Father in the Name of Jesus. This heart is illustrated by a letter sent to my dad by his sister Tessie from Liverpool in 1936, this too is our heart today!
Like Brian Mason, my dad holds Anglican ministry credentials, we observing wonderful opportunities amongst Anglicans in Africa with their many bases to reach out into rural areas, tribal areas with so many souls needing to meet the Saviour. The harvest is great but the financial resources little. We believe we can provide superb accounting practices so you can feel confident that what you give will go right to the mission field with no administrative expenses at this end.
All that we do is summed up in the above letter, the intercession continuing here for this College working with African Anglicans to “reach every creature with the Gospel.”
​
PROJECT 1 –
LUBUMBASHI, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO
​
In 2018 Brian Mason and I departed London for Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for an on-going flight to the Democratic Republic of Congo. We received a magnificent welcome from Bishop Bertin and his ministry colleague Rev Jean Jacques on arrival.
As a ministry we gave teaching to clergy from all over the Katanga Diocese, the heart for the Gospel as we have captured on video was to be witnessed.
​
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL551cvQbHiFbz2NTdNIsi_QVsEcGkxUpP
We are confident that investment in the projects of this Diocese will genuinely reach out to the World, a Diocese with an open, sacrificial heart, its pastors often going to potentially dangerous areas, and so perfecting this ministry with the true Word of God will resume at the earliest opportunity, funding permitting ……….
Whilst in Lubumbashi, Brian and I were taken to a faraway village, a village with children unwashed for water was scarce here, modern day facilities non-existent, yet here the Diocese were building a college building, not just to train its ministers but also to bless the village with fresh water and supplies. It was a heart rending trip, and our love and compassion goes out to the Diocese struggling for resources to fulfil this calling.
Plan of the College in the faraway village called SHIMPAUKA
Written by Jean Jacques Bukas
Minister and Schools Co-Ordinator of Katanga Diocese, Lubumbashi

Description
Matthew 28:19-20 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
​
According to Matthew 28.19-20; Jesus Christ gave a special mission to his disciples to go and make disciples of all nations, to teach them to observe what he had commanded them.
​
Today, this mission is given to the Church, to make the disciples and to teach them what Jesus Christ prescribed.
​
Reason why, the Anglican diocese of Katanga is building a pastoral and evangelical college in the faraway village called SHIMPAUKA. The College has two completed classrooms, an unfinished dormitory and completed church for pastoral activities.
2. VISION
To have in the college in the SHIMPAUKA village, a dispensary, a well of drinking water which, will be beneficial to all the inhabitants of the village.
​
3. How to realize the Vision?
​
-
To have a well of drinking water for the College and the population of the village.
-
To have a Dispensary for all the students and the population of the village.
-
Find partners who can support 5 teachers with a monthly salary of $150 (£118.78) per teacher for a good supervision of students in mission.
-
Find partners who can sponsor 12 students with a scholarship of $300 (£237.55) per students per year.
4. ​BUDGET
​
1 Dispensary and equipment: $5,000 (£3,959.20)
1 Drinking water well: $2,000 (£1,583.68)
5 Teacher’s salaries: $ 150 x 5 teachers x 12 months= $9,000 (£7,126.56)
Scholarship for 12 students per year: $4,500 (£3,563.28)
​
Total budget for the College in the faraway village= $20,000 (£15,836.80)
​
Summary written by David P Griffiths ……….
These figures complete the project except ongoing costs, a budget well achievable. Our ministry here is happy to process all donations to this cause without cost - and even claim back gift aid from UK taxpayers.
It is a joy for our ministry to join up with Bishop Bertin, Jean Jacques Bukasa and so many Anglican Pastors who are humble, dedicated and prepared to give up their lives for the benefit of others.
​
John 15:13 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Plan for a New Diocese Church Building at KISANGA
Jean Jacques Bukasa reports …….
-
Plan description
Matthew 16:18 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
​
Jesus Christ is Himself who is the Architect of his Church on his own teachings.
​
This Church is INVISIBLE and VISIBLE:
​
INVISIBLE: Because it is built by Jesus Christ himself on his teachings.
​
VISIBLE: Jesus Christ, himself gave men and women the power and the means to gather physical materials so that believers have a beautiful place where they can meet as a family in presence of God, our Heavenly Father, to proclaim his praise, hear his Holy Word and ask him for ourselves and for others what is necessary for life and salvation, to prepare us for heart as well as spirit to adore him.
​
2. VISION
May 300 faithful from the Parish of Kisanga of the Diocese Anglican Church of Katanga have a beautiful place of prayer, adoration, praise and evangelization.
​
3. HOW TO REALISE THE VISION?
To realize the vision, we must have:
-
A well-built and well-equipped Church
We have asked God for four years to give us a beautiful and equipped Church where the faithful can feel themselves in the presence of the almighty God, our Heavenly Father, to proclaim his praise, hear his Holy Word and ask him for ourselves and for others what is necessary for life and salvation.
​
Thank God, after the intense prayer and work of the faithful, we did the construction work up to 65%.
​
2. Complement of $ 15,000 (£11,957.43) for completion of construction
We count on the help of God and the help of all friends, brothers and sisters everywhere, their spiritual and financial support for the completion of the building.
The Anglican Cause
is ALIVE AND WELL IN AFRICA BECAUSE…
-
The Landmark of Cranmer, Latimer and Ridley, the Oxford Martyrs is very much upheld:
There is hunger and thirst to understand the origins of the Anglican faith, these origins coming through those who gave their lives for the doctrines of the faith. The 39 Articles of Faith is not only the Constitution of the Anglican Communion but also the whole of Great Britain, these Articles standing alongside the Coronation Service and the 1534 Act of Settlement.
In Britain we are witnessing a lack of understanding of these articles, the contents not being supported by modern “Bibles”, and in addition to this even though they are constitutional they are not taught to our children or our political or theological students.
Our work on the 39 Articles can be found at
https://www.ecctv.org/2019-ap-39-articles-constitution-ke
We therefore in Britain are alert to what we are facing, a major turning away from God, not only in our nation but commonly in nations of western culture. We believe however that there is to be a great change from the “god of this world” before the Lord Jesus comes again, and that he is calling us to remind nations of Christian heritage.
​
We believe African Anglicans have a major part in reminding western nations of our Christian heritage, the response I am receiving by clergy in DR Congo being most wonderful.
​
I believe that as my dad sowed his life into Africa from Britain in the 1930’s, it is our job to “perfect the saints for the work of the ministry”, and expect a reaping to this sowing of the African Church demanding from western countries an adherence to the landmarks of our faith, these landmarks being brought to them originally by western nations.
A return to our own Constitution means to Great Britain
THE RETURN BACK TO ALMIGHTY GOD
by observing the 1534 Act of Supremacy restored into Constitutional Law by Queen Elizabeth I in her Settlement.
…………………………………………………………………………..
We taught this to Anglican clergy in the DRC, who embraced it, loved it and are crying out for us to return – oh for Anglican Clergy in Britain to come back to the sacrifice of Cranmer, Latimer and Ridley who gave their lives for the Anglican and British Constitution.
WE LOOK THEREFORE FOR THE PROJECTS IN DR CONGO TO BE COMPLETED ALONGSIDE TAKING ON OF PROJECTS ALL OVER AFRICA TO IMPACT NOT JUST THIS CONTINENT BUT THE WHOLE WORLD
2) Traditional Values are Upheld …….
i) Moving by Revelation of the Spirit (all UK laws give the Spirit higher priority to the Temporal) above intellectualism, humanism and pride in man’s achievements.
​
ii) Reliance on God’s anointing & holiness above allowance of immorality, lust or materialism is a hallmark of the African Church.
​
iii) Propagation, Unification and recreation being in Africa within the context of Ephesians 5 traditonal marriage.
​
iv) The life of a child in the womb is regarded equal to a child out of the womb.
​
v) In the area of biomedics, all life is sacred needing to be protected at all times.
​
vi) In the area of theology, the Trinity, Christ Jesus’ Deity, an everlasting gospel, salvation through the blood of the Lamb, eternal punishment for the unsaved, Jesus being the only Saviour, God preserving his Word to the Church in an inerrant, absolutist sense rather than relativism so common in the Western Church.
​
vii) Upholding the landmark doctrines listed here, resisting the purge of textual criticism so active in the training of western ministers.
We therefore have as an immediate target for our dear Brothers and Sisters in Lubumbashi, DR Congo:
$35,000 (£27,886.60)
PROJECT 2 –
SONGEA, TANZANIA
CHILD CARE SAFETY PROJECT
​
Throughout Africa there is an issue with child safety, many rural areas suffering even the stealing of children with parents having to go to work leaving their children without protection. In this context children too can have accidents and as reported by our dear brother Rev Canon John Midelo in Tanzania others can die in well water.
Matthew 19:14 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
​
It is therefore with the respect Christ Jesus has called us to have for children that we look in Songea to convert this building into a child protection area, where children can be safely left to learn and to play to enable parents to gain wages so as to provide for the family.
To quote Rev Canon John Midelo: Due to this problem we ask to help us to finish the project in order all children live peace and harmony in the society.

MINISTRY TRAINING
My father, a missionary to the rural areas of Africa in the 1930’s knew the importance of travelling through difficult terrain so as to train ministers in the Gospel so as to provide excellent pastoral care to out of the way villages.
This needs to be continued, one programme being illustrated here by Rev Midelo, the training on offer being of Christian Theology that would have been taught in the early days of the Anglican Communion, a fact illustrated by the training notes of Rev Midelo illustrated here, which we as a College can put into too:

AN EXAMPLE OF THE DOCTRINE BEING TAUGHT ON THESE OCCASIONS
“But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.”
1 Corinthians 12:11
THE DOCTRINE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT by Rev Canon John Midelo
Part 1
What a most wonderful prospect there is before us to have the whole gospel to the whole man to go to the whole world! This particular message shall start to look at some parts of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity which consists of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost (also given the name of, Holy Spirit). The Holy Spirit has a personality because He like the Father and the Son, is a person. As a person the Holy Spirit has the following characteristics:
He has a will of His own
“But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.”
1 Corinthians 12:11
He is intelligent
“But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.”
Corinthians 2:10-11
He has feelings
“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”
Ephesians 4:30
The Holy Spirit’s personality is further proved by His works.
He restrains
“And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.” Genesis 6:3
He teaches
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” St. John 14:26
He commands men
“Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.” Acts 8:29
He commissions
“So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.” Acts 13:4
He guides
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
Romans 8:14
He intercedes
“Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” Romans 8:26
THE DEITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Proved by His Names
“And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:11 Names which relate equally to other persons of the Trinity.
Names showing works that only God can do.
“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.” St. John 14:16.
Proved by His characteristics. He possesses divine attributes.
Omniscience
“But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:10-11
Omnipresence
“Whither shall I go from thy spirit?or whither shall I flee from thy presence?” Psalm 139:7
Omnipotence
“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” Genesis 1:2
Truth
“This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.” 1 John 5:6
Holiness
“If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?” St Luke 11:13
Life
“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:2
​
Wisdom
“Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord,or being his counsellor hath taught him?” Isaiah 40:13
Proved by His Works
​
Works that only God can do are shown to be done by the Holy Spirit.
“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” Genesis 1:2
Inspiring
“For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”
2 Peter 1:21
Begetting Christ
“And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” St. Luke 1:35
Convicting men
“And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment”
St. John 16:8
Regenerating
“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” St. John 3:5-6
Comforting
​
“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.”
St. John 14:16
Interceding
“Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”
Romans 8:26-27
Sanctifying
“But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.”
2 Thessalonians 2:13
Proved by His Being Equally Associated with other Persons of the Holy Trinity.
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”
St. Matthew 28:19
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.”
2 Corinthians 13:14
An understanding of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit is vital in preaching and teaching the Christian faith. Compared to preaching and teaching based on God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, who only spent around three years in earthly ministry, the Holy Spirit is greatly neglected.
Our material of the Bible College of Wales – Original Vision is complementary to the teaching being given like that above of Anglican Africans. On sending our extensive Prayer and Intercession Course to Rev Canon John Midelo, this reply was received proving the keenness of African Anglicans to work with us.
Our invitation is for you to become involved too.

OUR POSITION IS TO UPHOLD THE THREE STRANDS OF THE REFORMATION……….
This we do each Sunday with three online services reflecting the heart of the Anabaptists, the Presbyterians, and Episcopalians.
Each had their own part to play in the reformation and each of our services reflect this, respecting the martyrs of the faith, our view being that from each strand we preach the callings of the individual movements of the individual strand with one objective, and one objective alone, to “reach every creature with the Gospel”, by “perfecting the saints for the work of the ministry.”
In this heart as regards to church Unity, we passionately declare that our unity is IN HIM and HIM FIRST, and from this position comes the commission.

Since 1997 this ministry has gained great experience in international missions, understanding the great suffering that occurs in rural areas of developing countries.
During the civil war in Sri Lanka, we took missions teams right into the heart of the warzone bringing the Christian Gospel right into the places of greatest suffering. This has been the heart of our ministry since its inception, we calling it on many occasions the “ministry of tears.”
We have numerous missions stories of overcoming, at one time to reach Batticaloa, the road there being heavily mined, it taking determined intercession to bring the conditions for a young man to appear with a bus to take us over the road there, he telling us he knew where the mines were!
If God says to go, in a rhema word, then we go. On arriving at Batticaloa we found the town in a war-torn state, but God had called us to put on a life-giving Conference of the Word of God to the people.
At the very outset of the conference it was noticeable how hungry and thirsty the people were for God’s Word, a lame man hobbling up to the platform unable to walk properly but soon his crutches were gone, not only did he walk but he danced for three days, leaping and praising God.
We are therefore confident that through intercession we can witness miracles to get us where God wants us to be.
On another occasion at Vavuniya, we put on another conference that manifest so much joy in a town where white vans were going around taking away relatives not to be seen again. Only the preaching and teaching of God’s Word can break through so much suffering to bring peace to the hearts of the people.
Ephesians 5:26-27 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
​
The impact was so great in Vavuniya that two key humanitarian operations in the area contacted us, the first being the local hospital. Before this the British Consulate had contacted us amazed, we were going to the warzone, saying we were on our own! With respect to them, however, this was far from the case for when one goes forward in the strength of the Lord, one is aware of divine protection and power.
In the hospital we witnessed soldiers suffering with the most tremendous of injuries. The Hospital Registrar called for our team, society as we know had broken down, no doctors, no drugs and the crying of pain facing our team was so great, we of course submitted it all to God, taken to the hospital surrounded by gunmen, but THE NAME OF JESUS COMES FIRST above our own lives.
As our team laid hands IN THE NAME OF JESUS wounds became healed, injuries fixed with souls crying out THE NAME JESUS, souls being saved by his precious blood.
We can only ask you to take our word for this, photography was not possible due to the security situation but photographs were taken in the local refugee camp, and again God’s joy came out amongst people who had lost their homes, careers and professions. I cannot emphasize enough the power of the Word of God bringing unique liberation to the people.
NOW WE ENTER A VERY SPECIAL TIME AS WE LOOK TO BRING THIS JOY THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD TO A WORLD NEEDING CHRIST JESUS!
How are we to achieve this? We already have stepped out in faith building a media Mission House in Sri Lanka. It is a tremendous thing in a place where we have a ready made staff, and where I know we can bring the conditions for a worldwide Christian revival.
This Sri Lanka Mission House is at Mount Carmel Theological College, Bellwood, near Kandy, Sri Lanka. Here Trustee Suresh Ramachandran who has worked with us now for over 20 years set up as led of the Lord a College perfecting saints often from poor backgrounds into ministry. https://www.mount-carmel.net/college-ministry/
In the grounds we have already started this mission house but lack funds to complete it. It will be a mission house to reach out to the world. We have the technical skills at Bellwood, the practical help to set up from the house a media mission to reach the world.
We will achieve this and love for you to be a part of this great move of God. This media operation will be in addition to crusades and conferences, so necessary now in a world reeling in a pandemic and likely economic decline.
Samuel Rees Howells preached a message called “Praying the Prayers of the Impossible” and this is written all over this mission, a mission house to be equipped with the latest media facilities to multi livestream as well as produce the highest quality TV output for satellite television. Why are we doing this here? Well, the mission house is built in the grounds of Mount Carmel College that houses students and faculty that are experts in media output, so this mission house is crucial to complete if we are to reach “every creature with the Gospel” in the next two years.
As an added bonus, it is a place where saints from all over the world can come and be part of this great move of God, to be in a very anointed atmosphere that already is reaching all across the world. Once completed the mission house will have high quality accommodation facilities, in the mountains of Sri Lanka where the climate is much cooler than sea level, so in comfort saints can be perfected for the work óf the ministry. We invite you to be a part of this. We are praising the Lord!
For this stage of “reaching every creature”,
therefore we need …….. for STAGE 1:
DR CONGO - £27,886-60 ($35,000)
TANZANIA £1,157-33/ $1,464-23
SRI LANKA MISSION HOUSE £55,000/ $68,276-73
STAGE 1 TOTAL = £84,043-93 - $104331-71
STAGE 2: to equip African & Asian operations with laptops and projector for large meetings, we setting up the Mission House, and the UK H/Q at Whithorn, Scotland for multi-streaming, the Sri Lanka Mission House being set up for satellite broadcasting worldwide.
WE WILL REACH EVERY CREATURE,
“perfecting the saints for the work of the ministry.”
Ephesians 4:11-12 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
​
Mark 16:15-19 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
​
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS, not those of political ideologies that have set the captives free throughout modern history …….
Founder/Co-Founder – Church Mission Society, Anti-Slavery Society, Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
It is the true duty of every man to promote the happiness of his fellow creatures to the utmost of his power.
God Almighty has set before me two great objects: the suppression of the slave trade and the reformation of manners.
We are too young to realize that certain things are impossible ….. so we will do them anyway.
WE ARE OF THE SAME ETHOS
Ephesians 5:19 (AKJV)
19 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Chorus:
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
I looked over Jordan, and what did I see?
(Coming for to carry me home)
A band of angels coming after me
(Coming for to carry me home)
Chorus:
If you get there before I do
(Coming for to carry me home)
Tell all of my friends, that I'm coming there too
(Coming for to carry me home)
Nobody ever loved me like this yall.
His steadfast incomparable love was forty-two generations deep.
It saved me and healed me from atrocities and devastations.
When I was sinking fast and couldn't help myself, he showed me what real love was all about.
God has blown my mind with his eficacious love, his unfathomable love, his multifaceted love.
He loved me first and now I'm loving him back.
Yess I love him.
WE ARE OF THE SAME ETHOS
I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see
Fanny J Crosby wrote, The vilest offender who truly believes, that moment from Jesus a pardon receives
John Newton, former slave trader admitted himself to be a “wretch” just as the Apostle Paul had done, and God transferred him to be one led by the Spirit of God, to become an Evangelical Anglican just like our Anglican brothers and sisters featured in this presentation, an evangelical Anglican who fought injustice, an active opponent and abolitionist of the slave trade.
In fighting injustice today, without Christ Jesus there can be no forgiveness, without forgiveness there is a root of bitterness and so as with all the abolitionists, with all the Christian victims, there is always forgiveness. Without forgiveness society will tear itself apart.
We need the amazing grace of our dear Lord Jesus, not the self-righteousness of man, or man’s philosophies, but a total reliance on the Lord Jesus Himself, Newton himself declaring, “Self-righteousness can feed upon doctrines, as well as upon works!”
Romans 7:22-25 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
​
Romans 8:12-14 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
​
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
​
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
​
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
​
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
​
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
​
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
​
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.
​
WE ARE OF THE SAME ETHOS
MARTIN LUTHER KING
A prophet and martyr of God, a Baptist Minister proving again it has been through Evangelical Christians that injustice has been successfully fought.
His heart and desire to set free a people from appalling segregation in society, his objective was reached through non-violent means in the temporal but as a great Prophet in the Spirit, a man of great intercession before the Father for his people, that the progression towards freedom was being reached in his lifetime.
He declared that was in him was an inner urge to help humanity, being declared one of the “sons of Calvary”, the place of ultimate forgiveness. His ethos, and our ethos is summed up in his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. This is in our hearts, our great passion, a speech only God could give through one of his prophets, it is heart rending, it is so anointed, it is only through this ethos that we can have harmony in the world today.
WE ARE OF THE SAME ETHOS, OUR PROJECTS PRESENTED TO YOU TODAY CARRY THE SAME PASSION …….
I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed:
'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.'
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today.
THROUGHOUT HISTORY, IT HAS BEEN THROUGH EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS WHO HAVE BEEN PREPARED TO GIVE THEIR LIVES THAT VICTORIES HAVE BEEN WON ………. WE ARE OF THIS ETHOS:
To conclude, with a further message of the Lord, in the 1930’s my dad with two other WEC missionaries sailed to what was then Portuguese Guinea, prepared as in the letter at the beginning of this presentation to die so that souls would one day be in heaven. With the same heart a lady called Emma Munn sailed to the Okak natives in what was then Spanish Guinea. She wrote in 1939, I’m still at Enviayong and enjoying every day’s service here for Him. I left Akurenan (the station.) Lately I took fever. As I lay in bed, they sang in the meeting “God will take care of you” and it was sweet in my ears. During the message, Pedro said, “You all know Ma Mondo is ill”. She is alone and hasn’t a white face to look at, just black people. Why is she here? Because she loves us. Do we all love her? There was quite a response “Ya, ya”. Then, “As we love Ma Mondo God wants us to love one another; then we would truly be strong people of God.” Bless their hearts, its worth while being ill to hear all those declarations of love.
Only God can bring all races, cultures and backgrounds of the peoples of this world together as one in Him.
​
“Red, and yellow, black and white; all our precious in HIS SIGHT,
Jesus loves the little children of the world”
​
IT IS IN CHRIST JESUS THAT WE ARE ONE
AND IN HIM ALONE
Throughout history it has been Evangelical Christians that have raised up the standard of liberty, we ask therefore that you consider before God these projects that give
​
Christ JESUS the glory and HIM ALONE!
THESE ARE OUR PROJECTS THEREFORE OF
CHRIST JESUS SUPREMACY
