In Depth:  Kerry & Rose Orchard

2-9 July saw the 17th annual Revival Conference at Bryntirion, Bridgend. The main speakers were Geoff Thomas (pictured) and Phil Hill, who shared the six well-attended evening preaching meetings.

The latter dealt with the suddenness and unexpected nature of revival as illustrated from Jonah, how God can bless a mere remnant (Ezra) and importunate praying (Genesis 32.26).

Scottish, Dutch, Finnish, Iranian and West Indian folk as well as those from England and Wales came to the South Wales Revival Conference, held at WEST from 4–11 July.

Wyn Hughes opened the conference with a message from Romans 5 on the known and felt presence of God. Phil Hill’s exposition of Habakkuk each weekday morning served to illuminate the contemporary Christian scene in the West. Andrew Davies nightly preached penetratingly from 1 Corinthians 1–4 on the theme of man’s humbling and God’s exaltation through the gospel.
