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).
Geoff Thomas preached on ‘Jesus: Prophet, Priest and King’. He also preached on experiential passages from 2 Timothy each morning, leading to times of corporate prayer. Phil Hill’s four lectures introduced us to ‘Baptist Noel’, the history of the Baptist Revival Fellowship, Dr Lloyd-Jones and post-war Baptist life in Wales and Union’s work in Wales.
