Frequently asked questions

What do you do?
The response is usually "What do you want?" "How can we apply it to your people?"

Our aim is:
Revealing the fatherly nature of God.
Releasing the power of the Holy Spirit into churches.
Concert evangelism - leading people to Christ.

This can be done in many ways - through the music - through the teaching.

This can be over a full weekend (Fri - Sun.)
In a 'one-off' event.
Over a course of dates (midweek or weekend) i.e. four Tuesday's, two Saturday mornings, etc. - What fits in best with your church?

Some of the things we do:

Leading worship.

Workshops on worship for 1: Leaders 2: Musicians 3: Congregations
Workshops on: Healing, Worship, Listening to God, Training up ministry teams, Spiritual warfare, Leading worship, Creativity in worship, Training and leading a worship team

Do you need a big church to minister into?

Only if you've got one! We can come to individual groups within your church or in recent visits to the USA we have been ministering to smaller groups (around 25 people) to lessen the burden on those organising meetings.
You don't need a huge gathering - feel free to contact us!
How is your time used on a weekend visit?

MY GENERAL APPROACH

I've always believed in the old adage: 'When I hear I forget, when I see I remember, but when I do I understand'. Therefore the sessions will have a workshop, 'hands-on' feel to them. My aim is not to teach but to train, equipping people with skills and tools.


SUGGESTED TIMETABLE FOR A WEEKEND
(THE WHOLE CHURCH/LOCAL CHURCHES):


FRIDAY NIGHT 7.30 - 9.30 Session 1. WORKSHOP Part I

SATURDAY 10-3 (Approx) 10.00 - 11.15 Session 2. WORKSHOP Part II.
11.30 - 12.30 Session 3. WORKSHOP Part III.
1.30 - 3.00 Session 4. PRAYER-MINISTRY OR PRAYER WALK.

The afternoon session after lunch is usually spent praying for people where God has precipitated issues in their life, which are blockages to them experiencing Him deeper. If the workshop subject is 'spiritual warfare' the afternoon session is usually a prayer walk.

SATURDAY NIGHT 7.30 - 9.45 CONCERT.

This is usually a 'seeker- sensitive' concert with an outreach flavour to it. People should be really encouraged to bring non-Christian relatives, neighbours, work colleagues etc. to the event. We recommend that you sell tickets prior to the concert.

SUNDAY MORNING CHURCH MEETING

Teaching and leading worship. I normally take the whole meeting. As long as people (in particular the more traditional element of church) know ahead of time that it is going to be a different and probably simpler format than they're used to, they're usually very accommodating.

SUNDAY EVENING (Optional) INTERDENOMINATIONAL CELEBRATION

If you do decide to have a Sunday night, I'm very open to you keeping it 'in-house'. It would be good if the Saturday night at least might be opened up to other churches.

NOTE: We suggest you make a charge for the Friday and Saturday workshops, especially if other churches are invited.


Weekends

The topic(s) I cover over a weekend depends on what kind of 'season' the church is in at the time of our visit. Below are suggestions of some of the subjects I cover. Each workshop will take the full 3 or 4 sessions (not 1 per session):

However, I am currently focusing on THE SPIRITUAL ROOTS OF DISEASE, which includes: Clarity about God's wish to heal; How our thought-life can build platforms for disease; the connection between our thinking and our chemistry; generational sins; family trees; the side-effect of drugs; stress and depression - their relationship to physical disease; worry, anxiety, fear, guilt, self-hatred - the roots of much modern illnesses; why fathers are the holders of blessings or curses in the family; blocks to healing.
