We were very pleased to welcome to our area last week, the excellent Dr Sam Gordon (formerly of Trans World Radio), and now Director of the renown Messianic Testimony, whose main aim is to evangelise and educate the Jewish people that Jesus (Yeshua) is indeed their Messiah, and Saviour.
He commenced his long weekend tour with a visit to the Bristol branch of the PWMI on Friday, 22nd March when over forty people attended to hear this fine man of God expound the exciting theme of the Rapture of the Church to Heaven, before Jesus later returns to earth for his covenant people of Israel.
The following evening, Sam crossed the Severn Bridge to start the Welsh leg of his tour, and his first stop was our Caldicot branch of the PWMI. This lovely, warm, enthusiastic man with a cheeky Irish sense of humour, gave another splendid address from the book of Revelation on "Worthy Is The Lamb". This was based on his best selling book of the same name, and Sam has now become something of a prolific author with many books and booklets to his name, and his expanding repertoire. Needless to say, he sold many of his products over the weekend, with all proceeds going to the worthwhile Messianic Testimony.
On the Saturday Sam moved a little further into South Wales, with a double presentation at the Newport branch of the PWMI, at the impressive seminar facilities available at the new YMCA conference centre.
His first message was titled "Will Israel Survive", particularly relevant in view of what is happening in the Middle East at present. He opened by declaring that the Jewish state is in a very precarious position with Hezbollah and Syria to the North, Hamas in Gaza in the South West, the Islamic Brotherhood in Egypt in the South, with Fatah (formerly the PLO) to the east, and the even greater threat of Iran to the North East, all declaring their hatred of Israel, and demanding the annihilation of this tiny little nation, about the same size of our beloved Wales!
Going through the prophetic passages of Zechariah chapters 12 to 14, Sam showed quite comprehensively that not only will Israel survive, but that after some suffering during the time of Jacob's Tribulation, they will emerge as a victorious state, and then become the principal nation in the Millennial Kingdom, a position they were always meant to have had, if they had recognised Yeshua as their Messiah at His First Coming nearly 2000 years ago.
The second session took us to the heights of Heavenly Glory, and the home of the Church, the Body and Bride of Christ, whose home is the heavenly places far above all, with Sam's title being "An Insider's View Of Heaven". Very exhilarating and uplifting stuff indeed! On the Sunday morning Sam left his prophetic theme on the shelf, when he spoke at the Apostolic Christian Centre in Ebbw Vale at their morning service, to complete a memorable four days in Wales and the West Country.
All of the meetings were well attended, excellent Biblical ministry and Prophecy was proclaimed, lots of good Biblical merchandise was sold, good offerings were made, and the very worthwhile Messianic Testimony profited handsomely, which will assist them with their fantastic mission to bring Yeshua to the Jewish people. We thank Sam for his splendid ministry, and we give praise and thanks to the Lord who makes memorable weekend tours like these possible.
Maranatha Blessings,
Neville.
