A team from Living Hope Fellowship went to London and Wales for worship seminars
November 13-24, 2003, a small worship team from Living Hope Fellowship in Aloha, Oregon, led by Pastor Tim Smith, travelled to London and onto Wales for a time of impartation at two worship seminars and ministry in the local churches there. The team consisting of Scott Bettis (bass and drama), Mike Lais (drums and sound), Dustin Erhardt (guitar and vocals), Elizabeth Hall (vocals), Katie Bowen (vocals), and Britteny Van Winkle (vocals and keyboard) ministered powerfully for eleven days starting in London (New Life Bible Church - Pastor Rick Johnston) on November 15 and ending in Wales (in Aberkenfig - Frontline Bible Church - Pastor John Marshall). The New Song flowed powerfully in every service as teaching breathed on by the Holy Spirit, released many to sing His Song in the congregations. The Breath of worship released in the Wow of Worship and the Kiss of Worship were the prevailing themes as God breathed on all of us again and again. Many musicians were stirred once again to take up their instruments and allow God to rekindle the song in their hearts. The team was privileged to tour a few places in London and Wales but were especially touched by John Wesley's home and chapel in London as well as Moriah Chapel in Wales, the birthplace of the Welsh Revival with Evan Roberts in 1904 (the 100th anniversary is October 31, 2004 - next year). We wept as our guide passionately recounted many stories of the revival that change the face of this nation and many others througout the world. On Sunday, the Welsh congregation blessed us by singing in full voice the song of the Welsh Revival, Here is Love. They truly are a singing people. God is visiting them again and will powerfully touch this generation in Spirit and in Song.
We came back with a great sense of purpose and rejoicing in the great work God is performing in His church in England and Wales. We will never be the same again.
