I became a Reader in 1991 after 4 years of training, first with Bishop Attwell and then Rev. D. Foster. Frankly, I struggled with the thought of this role...wearing a surplice, scarf and cassock, and going up into a pulpit!! The very thought was off putting.
It took the audible voice of God to convince me "I have put you where I want you. You are to speak My Word and no man will stop you, 2 Chronicles chap 20". At one of our Readers' training sessions, a lady looked around at us, came to me and handed me information about a teaching and healing ministry set up in 1986 near Lancaster, called Ellel Grange. "I believe this is meant for you," she said. ( There are approx. 50 centres world wide now). I was too busy to look at them, pushed them in my bag and ignored them for some time!!! Very rude of me!! This act of hers though, eventually led me into this incredible healing ministry of the Lord. He has taken me, with teams from other Ellel centres, into many, many countries. We are invited by pastors and leaders to bring God's teaching and healing and to set up teams capable of ministering to their congregations. My main delight is helping in this amazing work of the Lord as He brings His healing and order back to His people, enabling us to walk in the destiny and plans He has for us. I give Him all the glory and thanks, to be a small part of this! |
