WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE BLOG OF THE NEWPORT PWMI, PLUS OTHER PWMI BRANCHES IN CALDICOT, PONTYPOOL, EBBW VALE, SWANSEA, BRISTOL AND SWINDON.

NEWPORT: Welcome to our blog. This is quite a new venture for the Newport branch of the Prophetic Witness Movement. We hope to keep you fully informed of all our meetings, and also those of our other Welsh branches at Caldicot, Ebbw Vale and Swansea, the newly opened Pontypool branch (Feb 2012), and also our good friends over the Severn Bridge in Bristol and Swindon.

The Newport branch started in 2010 with meetings at various venues, but more recently we have used Nancy's Farm in Bassaleg, the Salvation Army in the City Centre, and the YMCA on the outskirts of Newport. Speakers have included the Rev Byron Jones, Rev Colin Le Noury (the General Director of the National PWMI), Dr Paul Wilkinson, Brian Gemmell, and also other excellent teachers such as Bob Mitchell (formerly of Revelation TV), Alan Franklin (see http://www.thefreepressonline.co.uk/), and Jacob Prasch from Moriel Ministries.

Speakers lined up for 2012 include, Brian Gemmell (from the Bible Prophecy Foundation), Dr Sam Gordon (from the Messianic testimony), Pastor Jon Ikin (PWMI Council Member from Bath),  Dr. Tom McMahon from the Berean Call In America on his British tour (DO NOT MISS THIS ONE), Alan Franklin (from The Free Press Online), Tony Pearce (from London) and Dr Paul Wilkinson from Stockport (both PWMI Council members). There may be other speakers added at fairly short notice (ie Jacob Prasch), so watch this space for further information.

PONTYPOOL:  As well as organising the Newport branch, Hazel and I have opened a new PWMI branch in TALYWAIN, PONTYPOOL on February 17th, 2012.  We have already had Brian Gemmell, Colin Le Noury, Jon Ikin, and Jacob Prasch, and future teachers include Brian Gemmell (again), Tony Pearce and Paul Wilkinson to speak at the ZION church we have managed to acquire. The full address is Zion Christian Fellowship Church, 4 Pisgah Road, Talywain, Pontypool, NP4 7HZ, and we are trusting the Lord for guidance to use this as a platform for a new PWMI meeting in this area.  We also have a new blog for PONTYPOOL at http://www.ziontalywain.blogspot.com/which will keep you up to date of all developments at TALYWAIN. Please contact me (Neville Stephens on 07808-251502) if you would like more information, or directions to the Church.

CALDICOT: The Caldicot branch meet on Friday evenings approx four times a year at the Elim Pentecostal Church, Longcroft Road, Caldicot, NP26 4EX (contact Tom and Pearl Jones on 01291 421850). In March, their speaker was the uplifting and entertaining Dr Sam Gordon from the Messianic Testimony (for more details, see larger report on this blog).

Their last speaker in June was the respected Pastor Eric Horley from Ammanford, who gave a splendid address on "Resurrection, Past, Present, And Future". The next minister on Friday, the 7th September will be our National General Director, the Rev Colin Le Noury who will lead the Caldicot gathering. Their list for 2012 will be completed by the dynamic Dr. Paul Wilkinson, the youngest council member of the PWMI, who will be coming to Caldicot on November 16th, on his mini tour of our area.

EBBW VALE: The Ebbw Vale group meet at the Apostolic Christian Centre, Crown Buildings, Ebbw Vale, NP23 6XQ, just off Cemetery Road, on Friday evenings starting at 7pm (contact Dulcie Evans on 01495 302523).

This year Dulcie and Marion have had the Rev Byron Jones in February, in March they had the ever popular Pastor John Ikin from Bath, who spoke on "The Three Wars That Must Take Place Before The Tribulation", and following this they had Dr Sam Gordon in May speaking on "When The Saints Go Marching In".

On June 15th Dulcie had Pastor Steve Lloyd from London, who spoke on "Fulfilled Prophecy, Coincidence, Or God's Plan?". The Ebbw Vale group will finish their line up for this year with the inspirational Alan Franklin from The Free Press Online in Hampshire on September 21st on his weekend in South Wales. Alan will also be speaking at the Newport branch  with a double seminar on the Saturday morning, September 22nd (see larger advert for more details).

SWANSEA: Approx fifty miles to the west, we have our Swansea branch, and they meet three times a year at the Treboeth Gospel Hall, Treboeth, Swansea, SA5 9EH on Saturdays at 7pm. At the end of last year they Dr Sam Gordon from the Messianic Testimony, who gave a riveting exposition of 1 Thess 4, and titled his message "JESUS IS COMING AGAIN". There were also four delightful songs from the ever impressive Swansea  "Voices Of Praise" Ladies Choir. In 2012, Swansea have had Pastor Eric Horley in March, and Bryan Sheldon in May, and their final meeting of the year will be on October 13th when they have the PWMI's Tony Pearce from The Bridge Fellowship in North London. For further details for Swansea, please email Geoffrey Fewkes at geoffreyfewkes@btinternet.com or phone Peter Bridgens on 01792 773700.

BRISTOL: Just across the Severn Bridge, we have our Bristol branch who meet four times a year. The venue for their gatherings is the Unity Chapel, Shaldon Road (off Lockleaze Road), Bristol, BS7 9TN. Their meetings start at 7.30pm, and the Secretary is Tony Fry, who can be contacted by phone on 0117 967 4111, or by email at pilgrims-rest@hotmail.co.uk.

This year Tony has booked an exciting list of speakers, which started on March 22nd with the ever popular Dr Sam Gordon from the Messianic Testimony (see larger report on this blog for more details) followed by Roy Hill on the 14th June, who spoke on "The Judgement Seat Of Christ". On September 6th, Tony has booked our National General Director the Rev Colin Le Noury from Lancashire, and finally the excellent Dr Paul Wilkinson (a PWMI Council Member) will lead the gathering on the 15th November. All of these speakers are well worth travelling to hear teach and preach, and I have no hesitation in recommending them to you.

SWINDON: We are very pleased to announce that just a little further down the M4 corridor from Bristol, we had a new branch open in Swindon on February 25th. Our good friend Tony McLellan and his lovely wife Diane have taken the bull by the horns after many months of prayer, meditation (and some hesitation), and they launched out at their original venue at the St Aldhelm's Centre, Edgeware Road, Swindon, SN1 1QS. Our General Director, the Rev Colin Le Noury officially opened the new branch, and the PWMI chairman Rev Glyn Taylor dedicated the venture in prayer. 

Rev Taylor also spoke at the second meeting on 12th May when his subject was "The Signs Of The Times", followed by the excellent Brian Gemmell from the Bible Prophecy Foundation who ministered on June 7th when he spoke on "Things That Must Take Place During The Tribulation" (see larger report on this blog). 

Looking ahead, Tony has booked the highly respected Alan Franklin from Hampshire, and author of The Free Press Online, who will speak on Thursday, the 20th September at 7.30pm (see larger advert for more details). For this meeting, Tony hopes to have a new permanant venue, as he has received some excellent support from his local Pastor. The new venue will be The Storehouse Fellowship, 150 Cricklade Road, Gorse Hill, Swindon, SN2 8AG. For further information, you can contact Tony by phone on 07931-421157 (mobile), or 01793-526075 (home), or via email at apmclellan1@gmail.com

PHOTOGRAPHS: We have a photo gallery of some of the excellent teachers mentioned in the above article. Please scroll down to the bottom of this page to see some pictures of Brian Gemmell, Colin Le Noury, Jacob Prasch, Bob Mitchell, Alan Franklin, Paul Wilkinson, John Ikin, and others.

NEWPORT: The Newport branch use a variety of venues, including the the Salvation Army Hall in the City Centre, the YMCA in Mendalgief Road, Newport, NP20 2HF, or sometimes Nancy's Farm in Bassaleg. Please phone Neville on 07808-251502 for details of meetings and venues, but they will all appear on this website blog as they are updated.

We hope to keep you fully informed of all developments in South Wales, and also the PWMI branches just across the Severn Bridge and down the M4 at Bristol and Swindon. There are now over forty PWMI branches across the U.K. with five of them situated in South Wales. More branches are opening regularly as more and more people are taking an active interest in what the Bible has to say about the future, and in particular The Rapture, and The Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

MARANATHA BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL,
NEVILLE..
