In Flashpoints of Revival, Australian author Geoff Waugh walks us through God’s gallery of revivals, century by century, to show us that the Holy Spirit can spontaneously ignite at anytime, anywhere. You will read details, historically documented facts, and personal accounts of every major move of God for the past three centuries from every corner of the globe. For revival enthusiasts or historians this book is a treasure chest. For those who think God “doesn’t do that” this book is a must read. Outreach Magazine (COC) Using eye witness accounts, Australian Geoff Waugh takes us on a journey of revivals - beginning with the Moravians in Herrnhut, Germany in 1727 and continuing through the centuries to others in England, America, Canada, Africa, India, Korea, Chile and more, including Brownsville in 1995. This will leave you hungry and thirsty, hopefully crying out to God for revival in Australia. Excellent. The Australian Evangel (AOG) A Goldmine of Inspiration What a goldmine of inspiring details! Readers may have heard of some of the revivals described in this book, but Geoff Waugh's comprehensive and up-to-date book provides a global perspective of the unexpected and transforming work of the Holy Spirit around the globe from the 18th century to today. Read, be inspired and encouraged - and open to ways in which the Spirit 'blows where he wills'. Rev Dr John Olley, former principal Perth Baptist Theological College. The first time I read this book, I couldn't put it down. Not only were the stories researched with clear and concise data, but they provide an account of revivals that blew my mind away. As a person interested in seeing the winds of the Spirit blow in our churches and communities, I was truly impacted reading through history's mighty revivals. Dr. Waugh's simple yet provoking stories of men and women who dared make a difference and in being available for God was used mightily, is but a true story of this humble man of God whom I have had the privilege of working alongside following the revival winds in the Pacific. Once you read this book, you will not want to put it down as the stories come alive again, showing us the heart of a man who is passionate about revivals and seeing God move especially in our communities. Dr Waugh's book is a must read to all who are passionate about letting the Holy Spirit do his work in their lives, in their church and in their community. An inspirational read. Romulo Nayacalevu, Fiji lawyer and UN representative: 3 This work of the Rev. Dr. Geoff Waugh is of great significance. In it he has provided a comprehensive overview of the major revivals during the last three centuries. What is particularly important is the way in which we are enabled, through Dr. Waugh's work, to see how God has acted in all kinds of ways, through unexpected people, in unexpected situations, to bring about revival. Geoff Waugh is respected for his integrity, his communication skills, and his passion for mission and renewal. Churches and Christians around the world will benefit greatly from this timely contribution. Rev Prof James Haire, Professor of Theology, Charles Sturt University, and Executive Director, Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture Flashpoints of Revival is a good overview of the major revivals that have taken place in history, especially more recent history. It will be a compendium for historians and others interested in the subject for a long time to come. I doubt if there is a resource quite like it for logical progression and comprehensive treatment. Rev. Tony Cupit, former Director of Evangelism, Baptist World Alliance. Flashpoints of Revival has brought many hours of interesting reading. It is very informative and up to date concerning revivals both past and present. I am confident that this book will be well received by many scholars and historians. Rev Dr Naomi Dowdy, Trinity Christian Centre, Singapore. Geoff Waugh has broken new ground by pulling together evidence of divine impacts on people in revival. He emphasises the place of prayer and repentance in our response to God's awesome sovereignty and might. This is a book which will inspire you and help you to persist until the earth is "filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord". Rev Dr Stuart Robinson, Crossway Baptist Church, Melbourne, Australia. I read Flashpoints of Revival with much interest and enjoyment. The Revd Geoff Waugh has offered us a comprehensive account of spiritual renewal over the centuries. Whilst one of the truly great spiritual renewals has occurred in the latter half of the twentieth century, it finds its genesis in the Book of Acts. Amazing signs of God's power and love have occurred in the Christian communities which have been open to revival. Those communities have seen increasing membership. The churches which have closed their minds to charismatic renewal have seen decline in membership. I praise God for the Holy Spirit movement in our time. Bishop Ralph E. Wicks, Anglican Church of Australia. The Rev Dr Geoff Waugh is well able to write about the stories and experiences of revival. He has been a careful and sympathetic student of revival experiences in many parts of the world. In churches that need God's power for great tasks it is important that God's action in other places be studied. Geoff Waugh has made a crucial contribution to that task. Rev John E Mavor, former President of the Uniting Church in Australia. 4 I love learning about revival and this book adds to that hunger. Geoff Waugh, with great integrity and detailed research draws together much information that will inspire the reader. This is an extension of Geoff's many years of contribution in the area of renewal and revival as editor of the Renewal Journal. Geoff has initiated renewal activities in many denominations in Australia and has participated actively as a member in the growth of Gateway Baptist Church in Brisbane. Rev Tim Hanna, former Minister, Gateway Baptist Church, Brisbane, Australia. Dr Geoff Waugh's work has a global relevance, which he has applied in the Australian context. As a fellow Australian I am appreciative. My appreciation is greatly enhanced by a deep respect and affection for the author. He is a competent teacher, an excellent communicator, an informed, disciplined renewalist and an experienced educator. All these qualities combine to commend the author and his work. Rev Dr Lewis Born, former Moderator, Queensland Synod of the Uniting Church. Geoff Waugh places current outpourings of the Holy Spirit in historical context. In 1993 I said that this move of God would go round the world. It has. It is breaking out and touching millions of lives. Geoff's work helps us understand more about God's mighty work in our time. Pastor Neil Miers, President, Christian Outreach Centre, Australia. Recommended read: Mr Waugh has done his research well, and offers a fascinating little study of revival history throughout the centuries and across continents. Unlike many such studies though, this author concentrates not on those great 18th and 19th Century awakenings, but on revivals of the 20th Century. Some of these are not well known at all, so his information is most appreciated, eg Solomon Island in the 1970's, amongst Australian Aborigines in the 1980's. Tom (Amazon Review) Handbook for revival history: This is a great reference book providing information of when, where and how God has touched regions and people groups with his manifest presence over history. Many of these events are included and reported on providing the reader with an overview and insight into when revival has broken out and its impact on people, church and society. Martin Mitchell (Amazon Review) Excellent Survey: This book gives the story of well-known and also lesser known revivals of the Holy Spirit. In the end you are left with a feeling that God is constantly doing new and otherwise impossible things, and a feeling that more is around the corner. Informative and encouraging. A subject that we should be examining with greater priority. Philip Waugh (Amazon Review) 5 Flashpoints of Revival 6 Contents Endorsements 3 Foreword 11 Preface 13 Introduction 15 1.

    Part 24 Evan Roberts and Jessie Penn-Lewis

    IV. Evan Roberts and Jessie Penn-Lewis Evan Roberts and Jessie Penn-Lewis were the central minister and the most influential expositor,1 respectively, of the Welsh holiness revivalism concentrated from “December 1904 to May 1905,”2 co-opting and eclipsing a genuine revival movement in Wales that had already been taking place. Roberts received infant “baptism a few weeks after his birth on June 8, 1878,”3 and grew up in the Calvinistic Methodist denomination. His “name appears in the church roll for the first time in 1893-94” after taking a “preparation class,”4 but evidence of his own personal conversion is very weak at best.5 A minister claimed that he had been the instrument some time after 1898 of Roberts’ “conversion or consecration,”6 but Roberts himself does not appear to have affirmed that he was born again at that time—indeed, Roberts testified that he was not a Christian until a number of months before the onset of the holiness revival.7 The closest one can come 1 Of course, other men were involved, such as “W. S. Jones,” who not long before 1904 “had a vision,” after which it “soon became evident that God had chosen him to be the first receiver and transmitter of Holy Spirit baptism. Around him there gathered a group of young pastors such as Keri Evans, W. W. Lewis and D. Saunders who sought the same experience” (pgs. xvi-xvii, An Instrument of Revival, Jones). Nevertheless, “Evan Roberts . must be placed at the center of events” (Pg. xviii, ibid.).

ACKNOWLEDGMENT The contents of this book were presented initially in the form of five lectures to the student body of L.I.F.E. Bible College in Los Angeles in 1963. The lectureship was sponsored by the L.I.F.E. Bible College Alumni Association. CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 1. WHAT ARE SPIRITUAL GIFTS? 2. SPIRITUAL GIFTS FOR PREACHING AND TEACHING .. 3. PROPHETICAL MINISTRY 4. SPIRITUAL GIFTS OF ACTION 5. SPIRITUAL GIFTS AND WORLD EVANGELIZATION .... Introduction One of my main reasons for undertaking this work is that I have mature opinions and convictions re• garding the gifts of the Spirit which I wish to commit to others before I pass hence to be with Christ. Not that I think these involve drastic revisions of those things which I have taught by voice and pen all over the world these many years. Some convictions, however, have become firmer and now seem in greater need of being stated. One happy reason for this sense of urgency is the new era in the Pentecostal Revival which is growing to impressive magnitude in recent years. I would like to humbly submit my mature thoughts on this favorite subject to a new generation of participants in the Pentecostal Revival of the twentieth century.

  • New Paradigms in Pentecostal Education

    New Paradigms in Pentecostal Education

    Changing Paradigms in Pentecostal Education (Glopent, February, 2009) William K Kay, Director of the Centre for Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies, Bangor University, Wales Introduction In this brief paper I will first outline old Pentecostal paradigms of education in the period roughly before 1939. I will then look at intermediate paradigms in the period up to about 1975. Finally, attention will be given to more recent developments within Pentecostal education. The word ‘paradigm’ is well enough known to require little explanation. Its recent usage dates back to Thomas Kuhn’s description of scientific thinking: scientists work within a paradigm (normal science) until a startling innovation makes the paradigm unsustainable, after which the new paradigm became normative.1 The paradigm of Newtonian physical science operated in the 19th century until Einsteinian physics took over early in the 20th century. David Bosch used the concept of paradigms for his book, Transforming Mission, and it appears to be from here that Hans Küng’s borrowed the notion for his big book on Christianity.2 The only point that needs to be made in this discussion is to ask ourselves whether paradigms are mutually exclusive. In one view, everything under the old paradigm has to be translated into the new paradigm after a period of transition. In another view, two or more paradigms may co-exist in a postmodern way. At the point of transition it is not clear, then, whether an old paradigm is being replaced so that the new paradigm becomes the only framework within which work is conducted or whether the new paradigm simply operates as an alternative to the new one so as to allow inter-paradigm dialogue.

    When Religion Makes the News Christianity in Wales 2016

    When Religion Makes the News Christianity in Wales 2016 Parch/Revd Gethin Rhys Swyddog Polisi’r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol / National Assembly Policy Officer Produced by Cytûn at the request of NUJ Training Wales, the training arm of the National Union of Journalists in Wales (funded by Welsh Government) as a companion resource for When Religion Makes the News, Cardiff, 8th November 2016. Media Contacts for the denominations are on pages 13-15. Religion is a key element in many headline stories. The aim of this workshop was to provide training and resources for journalists working on mainstream stories that have religious elements. Introduction This paper presents some background information on Christianity in Wales in 2016, using statistical and other information. Its aim is to provide some starting points for journalistic research and enquiry; it is not by any means an exhaustive account. Religion in Wales The best statistical base for measuring the prevalence of religion in Wales is the 2011 census. Statistics Wales has produced an excellent summary here: http://gov.wales/docs/statistics/2015/151027-statistical- focus-religion-2011-census-en.pdf, which is essential reading. It shows that 57.6% of the population of Wales (about 1.8 million people)1 self-declared as Christian in answering the 2011 census questions – a fall from 71.9% 10 years previously. 32.1% said they had ‘no religion’ (almost a million people). These statistics are, however, limited in their usefulness, for the following reasons: • They are now five years old. More recent estimates based on survey evidence are difficult to compare directly with the census data, as they ask a different question, and are answered in different circumstances.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines the relationship between the leaders of the Anglican Church, centring on Alexander Alfred Boddy (1854-1930), considered the father of British Pentecostalism, and the young Pentecostals in the process of formation of the three major Pentecostal denominations, namely, the Apostolic Faith Church, the Assemblies of God and the Elim Church. Although there were not many Anglican participants in British Pentecostalism and most Pentecostals came from Nonconformist backgrounds, Boddy dominated the leadership from the beginning. As a result, most of the British Pentecostals who were actively involved in the forming of Pentecostal denominations were either directly or indirectly influenced by him. However, as Pentecostalism grew, disagreement and conflict appeared over certain issues and intensified during the period when the Pentecostal denominations were taking shape.

    This Paper Explores Empirical Data to Test for the Main Approaches to Healing Being Pursued by British Pentecostal Ministers

    113 APPROACHES TO HEALING IN BRITISH PENTECOSTALISM William K. Kay* Trinity College, Carmarthen, SA31 3EP, UK email: [email protected] Introduction This paper explores empirical data to test for the main approaches to healing being pursued by British Pentecostal ministers. It sets these approaches within a theological and historical context. On the basis of its findings, it sketches two scenarios about the future place healing might play in the church of the twenty-first century. Theological and Historical Context The four main Pentecostal denominations within the UK have all historically either explicitly or by implication addressed the issue of healing within the statements of faith to which their ministers are expected to subscribe. For example, Assemblies of God in Great Britain and Ireland say, ’we believe that deliverance from sickness by Divine Healing is provided for in the Atonement’. Similarly the Church of God states, ’Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement’. The Apostolic church certainly accepted the strong Pentecostal position on healing, though in its tenets there is nothing more specific than refer- ence to the ’nine gifts of the Holy Spirit for the edification, exhortation and comfort of the Church’. However Tumbull,’ in an authoritative * William K.

He inspired my life from the first day we met. We were together again and again in his home, his office, and in public meetings. He was present in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, when I was twenty years old, and the Lord showed Howard Carter that I was the young man to go with him around the world. Stanley Frodsham wrote for posterity most of the chal- lenging story that the world knows about Smith Wigglesworth. For this the Church of all time will hold him in honor. I will never forget his humility and his prolific producing of spiritual material — much of which does not have his name on it.

ABSTRACT From the beginning of the Pentecostal Movement in 1906, Pentecostal meetings were plagued by what they labeled “counterfeit manifestations.” These manifestations were creating negative consequences for the movement and Pentecostals needed a strategy that would identify and eradicate them from their meetings. Because Pentecostalism was in its infancy, it did not have a clear procedure to assist in identifying counterfeit manifestations, to determine how they operated, and/or who or what produced them. Over time they began to form assumptions regarding the operation of counterfeit
