I remember one of the first times that Pete Day and I visited my favourite bookshop in London -Geneva Books - I was fascinated to talk to the gentleman who owns it. He is elderly but has a wealth of experience and I usually end up talking to him as much as I do sorting through the treasure trove of books for treasures! For those who haven't heard me mention this bookshop before, it is the largest collection of Reformed and evangelical books in the UK I believe and the cheapest!
But in one comment the owner mentioned that he had a past in the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement and had built up a considerable private collection of books that (regretfully) weren't for sale and he kept in a private bedroom somewhere in the large house. You can imagine I wished for a moment I was invisible and could go and have a peek!
Well ... recently I have thrillingly re-acquainted myself with my childhood friend J-D Laurence who is training for the ministry in Bristol. We exchanged a number of emails and most of them centrered around our interest in our charismatic heritage. J-D and myself are in a rather unique position in terms of being able to remember when our home church was charismatic and moving in things of the Spirit but also to be able to remember the transition from that. Many younger than us don't remember anything. And many older than us are uncomfortable discussing it.
So I to put together all my books, tapes and magazines that I have on the Charismatic Movement and make a page of resources that I primarily can take down to Bristol when I meet J-D but also keep for interest sake.

So there they all are. Maybe not as big a collection as this mysterious one housed in London at Geneva Books but certainly some of my favourite and well-read. They keep reminding me that my childhood memories of my parents standing with arms raised worshipping God in Spirit and truth was not a dream. They remind me that hearing other church members bringing strange sounding prophecies and tongues was not heresy but was actually sowing seeds of a desire and a hunger for authentic New Testament church. They remind me that was indeed a season of refreshing from God - not to go back to and stagnate but to pass by and exceed seeking to do the works Jesus did and greater works also!

We are a family who is flowing in
New Testament Spirit-filled worship.
We are located in the Delhi, NY area,
and the apostle of our church was the late William Ward, who was revealed the teachings given in New Wine Magazine back in the 60's-70's. The Holy Spirit was being poured out mightily back then to get the church moving in the Spirit with God! As He moved, they moved, just like the cloud and the fire over Israel!! We are still moving in that manner today.
Bill Ward was a brother in the Lord of Bob Mumford, Ern Baxter, Don Basham, Derek Prince, and the other brothers who wrote the articles in New Wine Magazine. We are blessed to have kept the revelations of the Lord from this outpouring, and we continue to grow and move with the Spirit in them daily. We have an apostolic ministry, set in order by Bill Ward before he died, and we are a people who listen to and flow in the leading of the Spirit of God. The fruit of this ministry has reached across the United States, and we are sending apostles overseas to strengthen , establish, and confirm churches there.
So neat to find your website online. May the Lord bless you richly in His love as you search for His leading and guidance.
