Having seen God begin to brood over Wales these last couple of years, it has been a privilege to see the development of many prayer and pastoral networks from over Wales. These networks have had input from ministries both locally and internationally.

I would like on this occasion to testify of such a meeting. Within a leaders breakfast in the Newport area of South Wales around 50 leaders gathered for breakfast together followed by ministry from Bro. Conrad Lampan from the Argentine Revival. It was obvious from the outset that God had a special message to bring, and has mightily anointed Pastor Conrad to bring it.

The Third Day message was profound, only God's presence would do. He wanted a radical presence seeking bride and was drawing those 'God Chasers' to Him. His vision for 'PLANTING THE PRESENCE OF JESUS" in our cities cannot recognize other source than the Holy Spirit Himself.

At the time of ministry I could tangibly feel God's presence and within minutes the results were evident. Many leaders were being touched, called really to a deeper place, a place of openness and release. It was powerful. A friend said he could feel electricity all over him just by standing near to a person who was being prayed for.

Ministry continued powerfully for another 45 minutes or so. By the time Bro Conrad prayed for me I was already on my knees in God's presence, but as his hands came onto my shoulders I felt so hot I could have died. It was like the fiery furnace of Shadrach Meshach and Abednego. A FEELING OF BEING KEPT SAFE ONLY BY GOD'S GRACE. Several minutes went by, which felt like hours basking in the presence in the majesty of the Lord.

Bro. Conrad started to prophesy -which actually started with a feeling of "he's read my mail'! The prophetic reached deep within my soul and spirit to the place where I felt physical shifts take place. My God I'm no longer the same!

I get to see and hear hundreds of ministers within the space of a year, but cannot recall a time when the anointing was so strong or deep.

I believe seeing this ministry in action we are truly within the beginning of the third day church, where the radical, desperate Spirit-led people are rising from the nations of the world, and Bro Conrad is one of the few ignition switches of this latest move -as Paul said "I thank God you making mention of you always in my prayers"
