April 2025 Update:
God’s Word says, “…The Lord continued to bear testimony to The Word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be performed by their hands.” (Acts 14:3).
As many of you will be aware, some of the team and I have just returned from a mission trip in South Africa, serving the JoshGen churches with training in Power evangelism, conducting mission services, and ministry to leaders. From start to finish Jesus did amazing things in so many lives, leading to many salvations, deliverances, healings, and a deep work of The Holy Spirit amongst leaders and congregations alike. Glory to God and thank you so much for your prayers and support that makes all this possible. Zan Buchanan, our Operations Director, reports:
“It was an awesome time in Cape Town with the JoshGen churches and our wonderful hosts – God has done so much amongst us – all praise and glory to Jesus! There are simply too many individual testimonies to share but I’ll summarize as best I can.
From the outset at Wellington, after amazing worship, the Spirit moved powerfully! Fires were ignited, there were powerful healings and deliverances. Many were tangibly and powerfully filled with the Spirit and Fire as the team prayed for them. A very precious time and the congregation enthusiastically embraced the evangelism equipping, with some salvations/ recommitments following.
The leaders meeting was very powerful, again fires were lit, hearts refueled, as the Spirit moved! One lady received a powerful reigniting and inner healing from the Lord and had pain in her left arm completely healed.
At the City Bowl/Woodstock congregation, it was so beautiful to see so many salvations, and the healing that followed was amazing! Words of
knowledge flowed and many came forward. Wonderfully, they were ALL healed! Glory to God!
Then at Sunningdale on Saturday night, there was great joy and enthusiasm during the equipping ,and a huge crowd also came forward to be filled with the Spirit! The next morning there were many salvations and following that many were healed and many deliverances. God did a great work of inner healing, freeing people from oppression – too many to recount here.
In Sea Point, there were salvations followed by Baptisms in water afterwards – so precious! A huge crowd came forward for healing following Words of Knowledge. Many were healed as the Word was spoken over the crowd, others were healed as we laid hands. One lady was healed from the pain in her hands/knuckles and heaviness in her lungs as I prayed for her – she testified on social media of her healing. Another man began to experience freedom from mental oppression. Another lady testified healing from IBS, pain and discomfort leaving her body.
What a joy to partner with the Lord and the JoshGen congregations in Cape Town. Praise God for all he has done amongst us!”
Kingdom Advance Conference
May I take a few moments to warmly welcome you to join us for our next Kingdom Advance Conference on June 13-14. It’s going to be a powerful and significant time.
UK Ministry
While some of the team and I were ministering in South Africa it was encouraging to hear of the outreaches and ministry going on through our hubs and evangelists in the UK…In Telford, Newcastle, Warrington, Grantham, Exeter, Sheffield, Kirkby Ashfield, and Evangelist Paul Button, testifies, ” In HMP Cardiff, 60+ men stood in response to make a decision for Jesus today. Many were prayed for to receive healing and the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Thanks for your prayers!” Praise God for the powerful, on-going work of the Gospel in our land!
New Mission24 Schools of Ministry & Mission
We are excited to announce that our new Schools of Ministry & Mission will be starting in September. These schools have been so significant in the lives and ministries of the hundreds of people who have received powerful equipping through them in their identity in Christ, The Father heart of God, evangelism, ministry in the power of The Holy Spirit, healing, deliverance, the prophetic, leadership, and more. Students of all ages have gone on to make significant impact for the Kingdom of God through their lives and ministries, leading 1000s to Christ, equipping the saints, and in some cases establishing their own ministries. This will be our ninth year of running the schools, and we believe in this time of accelerated harvest before He comes, He is raising up multiplied numbers of anointed, faith filled harvesters to bring the harvest in. Will you be one of them?
There will be One Central School in Leicester, three regional schools in Manchester, Exeter, and Wales, alongside our first ONLINE school…which will consist of monthly Online teaching and personal study. The schools will come together for three individual “Power Days” in Leicester within the year, where there will be teaching, worship, prayer, ministry & activation alongside outreach. All schools carry the same requirement of completing two missions During the year and will be encouraged to participate in or start an evangelistic team in their own locality. To register your interest, please email us at: info@mission24.co.uk
Perhaps God is calling you to join us in what is a life changing adventure in the Great commission through Mission24!
Personal News
As you may be aware, the last two years in Mission24 have been in many ways a remarkable time of expansion…multiplying and establishing schools, taking in and training several hundred new students, increasing our core team and admin staff, tripling the number of missions we have conducted, winning thousands to Jesus and witnessing Him confirming His Word repeatedly through miraculous signs and wonders. We give ALL the glory to Jesus for what He has done and is doing through this ministry and developing movement.
Following what was an amazing trip to South Africa, I found myself very tired. Our Trustees have asked that I take a six-week Sabbatical, my first in 35 years of ministry to rest, and refresh. I am so grateful for this opportunity to pull back into His Presence, enjoy long walks, read, pray, and take time to review and look forward to all that lies ahead. During this time, I will not be available on either social media, text, email or phone, and any communications will need to be with Zan, (zan@mission24.co.uk) our operations director, or our capable admin team.
Elaine and I deeply value you all, and thank you for your amazing support, prayers, and encouragement. We are excited for what the Lord has ahead as we move forward in His purpose. We also particularly value your prayers at this time for the team as they step up and fill the gaps where I would have been ministering in our schools and missions over the next six weeks. There is much outreach and ministry going on in Halesowen 9-13 April, Devon 23-27 April, Argentina 19th-28th April, and of course through our local “Ehubs”. Thank you for standing with us and making such a difference in the lives of many through your prayers and generosity. We, and they, are grateful.
