CHAMPIONS, RECORD BREAKERS AND TRAIL BLAZERS

Pastor Adeboye at Wildfires Festival :

Stoking Fires of Revival Across the UK

Straw and fire. One can’t escape the imagery, even if that is your desire. The spiritual metaphor stares one squarely in the face, wherever you turn. The symbolism of being surrounded by square, straw bales scattered across a huge tent in the striking, West Sussex countryside sets one’s heart racing, given that this gathering of about 3,000 are awaiting just one thing: fire!

Of course, it’s a spiritual fire they yearn for, the kind that strangely warms the hearts of men, women and children, quenching a need within the soul. It’s a fire many travel in search of, far and near, to be deeply warmed by.

From all indications, it’s going to be a great night and expectations are very high indeed, as participants at the Wildfires Festival look forward with barelycontained excitement to welcoming their conference guest speaker Pastor E. A. Adeboye, General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) and a widely-acclaimed apostolic father to the nations.

The 3-day camping festival which brings together between 2,000 – 3,000 people of all ages, with a heavy family presence, is taking place from the 27 th to 29 th May 2019 at the historic Wiston Estate in West Sussex and Pastor Adeboye is speaking in the middle of the programme on the 28 th . Launched in 2018 as a joint adventure between 24/7 Prayer, Worship Central, Pioneer, Fusion, Big Church Day Out and Tearfund, the theme for the 2019 Wildfires gathering is REVIVAL: it could not have been more apt.

With attendees drawn from different church denominations and faith expressions, they are all united at Wildfires by a common hunger: revival! Their expectations are not misplaced, as the spirituallycharged atmosphere goes up a notch when Pastor Adeboye makes his modest entry. Building on the warmest of welcomes from festival hosts Mike Andrea who is the Lead Coordinator and Overseer of Wildfires Festival and his wife Stella who together lead Global Generation Church, the Chairman of RCCG in the United Kingdom Pastor Agu Irukwu also formally welcomes Pastor Adeboye.

Hearts are deeply stirred by the Spirit of God as Pastor Adeboye shares a passionate, evangelical message about the need for Christians to be revived by the fire of Holy Spirit, as a precursor for revival in the United Kingdom. When it is time for prayer, the huge tent is saturated with such spiritual energy, that hardly anyone is left in doubt that there has indeed been a divine visitation this evening, with sparks of conviction fanned into flames.

As Pastor Adeboye makes his quiet departure, after leading so many in prayers for a fresh impartation of God’s empowering fire upon their lives, one can only give the glory to God for such a blessing from the Holy Spirit. The prayer is that this fire of revival that has begun to burn in hearts will speedily sweep through the nation in Jesus’ name. Wildfires 2020 will hold from 25 th – 27 th May 2020.
