Greg Haslam on Needing an Encounter with God!

"We need to experience the real, authentic joy of God that comes as a result of encountering God, seeing His power at work, hearing His voice speaking into our lives and have a spiritual reawakening. The greatest thing that could happen to any of us, ever, in our whole lifetime is that we have a mighty encounter with Him".

Don Basham on Publishing

"Every generation has a responsibility to record it's own heritage of God's dealings with them. The published word preserves our heritage and leaves a legacy for generations to come".

"We believe that by God's grace He has given us a unique ministry. The five of us - Charles Simpson, Bob Mumford, Derek Prince, Ern Baxter and myself - who by His design were joined together more than a decade ago, certainly don't have the only message God is speaking today. But we believe that He has given us a unique and distinct message, and we feel a deep responsibility as stewards of it. We have come to see that one way God can extend, bless and use our message is through the published word".

Rob Rufus on Revival and Grace

"Every revival has ended up crushed by condemnation. Every move of God through church history has ended up crushed in dead religious formalism because they gave in to the spirit of legalism. They formulate rules and lost their freedom through grace".

Rob Rufus on Distinguishing Church from World

"Morality and ethics does not distinguish us from the world. We won't win young people by calling them to be moral and ethical! Atheists can be moral and ethical! So what distinguishes us from the world? HIS PRESENCE!! If we are not in His Presence, then there is nothing to distinguish us from the world".

Bob Mumford on Ultimate Triumph

Rob Rufus on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit

"We have no gifts of the Spirit - not one -but the One inside us has all gifts - miracles, healings, utterance gifts - tongues and prophecy. A river of life streaming from within us! You can have all nine fruits of the Spirit so why not all nine gifts of the Spirit? The fruit of the Spirit are not your fruit just as the gifts of the Spirit are not your gifts!".

David Mansell on Angelic Appearances at the Dales Bible Week 1977The same phenomenon occured at the Dales Bible Week in 1977

"The same phenomenon (angelic singing) occured at the Dales Bible Week in 1977. On several evenings after the meeting was over and the auditorium vacated and locked up for the night, heavenly singing was heard coming from the building at two or three o clock in the morning. This was not only reported by those on site; people living in the houses near the site complained about the singing in the early hours of the morning!

During the same week there were several angelic appearances, particularly to the young. One six-year old boy lost in the crowd and anxiously awaited by his parents suddenly turned up full of smiles. When asked how he found his way, he replied 'Oh a nice ghost in a shiny coat showed me the way'.

During a time of testimony another lad of six was asked what he enjoyed most about the Bible Week. He replied; "I liked it best when all the angels came and flew around the children's meeting playing their trumpets and praising God".

Rob Rufus on the REAL Suicide Bombers

"Suicide Bombers are not trying to be liked by society. They want to disturb society. That's the counterfeit but God wants to wrap glory bombs of the power of God around us and He wants us to run into the secular world, the media world and let it off".
