‘I think God wants me to start a radio station...’

Cam, Clapham

During worship at the New Wine summer conference in 2011 I had a strong sense that I should go to the New Wine Radio office. I didn’t even know where it was, but I left the worship session and went to look for it.

I found it in a hut near the showground. The people there were busy and asked me to sit in the waiting area. I sat there, feeling a bit unsure of why I was there, and after five minutes a lady came out and said 'I've got the infor...

'One small step for me became one great leap for God'

Joyce Trueman, St Mary's, Rawmarsh, Rotherham

I would like to tell you about my day in Harrogate at the Women's Day.

But first let me describe a little of my life in the last 5 years. My husband had left to be with another partner. After prayer that I would find another partner, I met the man that I had prayed about, but he was not a Christian. We married and after 4 months he was diagnosed with a grade 4 brain tumour. He came to Christ, and died a year later.

'He loves us very much'

Ian Bartlett, Aylesbury Vineyard

I would like to share with you how our Lord loves us very much.

In my previous testimony in 2010 I explained how I was an ex-gambler, alcoholic, drug taker and thief. I gave my life to the Lord at the age of 46. I currently go out on the streets of Aylesbury with the Healing on the Streets team, and we have seen the Lord heal, and transform lives.

I wanted to share with you about always putting Gods armour on, and how important it is to al...

'The consultants are completely mystified'

Ian Parkinson, New Wine Regional Director, North and East

We have been learning a bit about the importance of perseverance in our own church in recent months. We are not unused to seeing wonderful demonstrations of God’s healing power and people healed in direct response to prayer ministry. However, two recent cases have reminded us of the importance of persevering in prayer, when we do not see rapid results - of being in it for the long haul.

Five years ago, one of the to...

Unearth The Truth Tearfund Campaign

On Tuesday 11 October 2011, Tearfund, together with New Wine, sent a clear message to the Chancellor, calling for the UK Government to tackle global corruption.

Unearth the Truth is urging the UK Government and the European Union to bring in robust legislation that requires extractive companies to publish what they pay to pay poorer country governments - and thanks to the campaigning of Christians up and down the country a light is beginning to be shone into this often m...

Hannah Nash, Community Church, Caterham [Story from Thirst youth group at LSE]

This summer was my first New Wine. Whilst there I was unfortunate enough to fall and break my right ankle, on Thursday. I went to the hospital that day and had a back slab put on. I was shown the line on the x-ray that was my fracture and was sent away with the disk to give to the fracture clinic at the hospital back home. The day after I was in a significant amount of pain and couldn't put weight on m...

I just wanted to share with you my experience at New Wine 2011. It was my first time at New Wine and it was just what I needed after a year of self-abuse. I had turned my back on God and suffered with an eating disorder which I found hard to escape from. On a Wednesday evening, during the usu...

Susie Lafferty, St Peter's, Farnborough, Hampshire

On the 13 July 2011, just 2.5 weeks before coming to New Wine, I was told by my orthopedic surgeon that the op that he did on 31 march 2011 had failed and my ankle was totally unstable. I arrived on 31 July on crutches and in an air boot. On the Thursday I started to hear Jesus saying, 'u are going to dance before the king', and the word 'undignified'.

I came to the healing seminar and there was a word of knowledge about someone...

'We have been to New Wine for many years whilst crying out to God for a family'

lucywilliams — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 10:32:06 +0100

We have been to New Wine for many years whilst crying out to God for a family. 4 years ago we came just after having IVF - which failed. 3 years ago we came totally broken as all treatments had failed as there was to be no more. Last year we came for the day with our new family of 3 adopted siblings and our 4 year-old asked Jesus to be his friend. They loved it so much we booked for this year as soon as we could! this year we have had a lovely week and the adoption is to become final today augus...

We have just got home from New Wine LSE today and had a wonderful week, thanks to everyone for all their hard work. I'm sending this email to keep my side of a bargain I made with the Lord a couple of months ago...

Last year at LSE after one evening talk in Venue 1, we were asked to go forward if we hadn't led anyone to the Lord for a while and wanted to do so again. As I went forward and received prayer, I realised the person ...
