‘Harris is one of the great heroic figures in the Christian Church, and his story is truly an astonishing one.’ Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Dr. David Martyn Lloyd-Jones was one of the greatest evangelical teachers of the 20th Century. Few would argue with that. His powerful and faithful teaching ministry both in Wales (1927-1938) and later in London (1939-1968) has continued to inspire leaders and movements around the world.
Leading evangelical preachers such as J.I. Packer and Terry Virgo were powerfully impacted by his passionate expository style of preaching. His was a voice of authority and certainty in an increasingly wishy-washy church context.
In 1950 Packer and others urged Lloyd-Jones to begin a regular teaching conference on the importance of the Puritans and the Puritan movement. Papers were delivered followed by robust discussion chaired (and adjudicated?) by Lloyd-Jones himself.
Lloyd-Jones lectured on many subjects during the conferences (called first, The Puritan Conference and then The Westminster Conference).
In 1959 he preached on ‘Revival: An historical and Theological Survey’, in 1964 on ‘John Calvin and George Whitefield’, in 1972 on ‘John Knox – The Founder of Puritanism’ and in 1973 on ‘Howell Harris and Revival’.

Terry Virgo and the Story of Newfrontiers
by Danielle Earle
If you’ve sat in on one of our Sunday meetings recently then chances are you’ve heard about Terry Virgo and the Amazing Grace conference this April. Terry and Wendy Virgo are coming to visit us and Terry will share the life-changing message about God’s amazing grace.
If you’ve never heard of Terry Virgo or don’t know what Newfrontiers is then here’s a bit of the story to get you caught up:
Who is Terry?
In England in the mid-1950s, 16-year-old Terry Virgo became a Christian after his sister shared the gospel with him.
A few years later, as a young adult, Terry was filled with the Holy Spirit which transformed his walk with God – and yet his experience of his local church was lacking. Although he benefited from strong biblical teaching, he found less community there than he experienced among his non-Christian friends. It bothered him that prior to becoming a Christian he had experienced deep friendship with others, and yet, in the church he experienced isolation and formality.
