I remember well how I first met Prophetic Word Ministries. It was in Bath city where there was a conference and that is where I met Clifford and David Noakes for the first time. I was already reading the magazine ‘Prophecy Today’, and that is when I found out about Moggerhanger Park. Clifford was looking for a place for his ministry along with the BCGA which was Monica’s ministry and CCM, their joint ministry, and this place was on sale for 1 pound. When they were planning for their opening day, they reached out for volunteers, and I went to help them. It was a very good time.
I was a cleaner, and I was staying at the Gate House. We had a lovely housekeeper named Amelia. She was such a kind person and a good cook. She always made us lovely puddings. Monica used to ask us to pick blackberries every so often, which she would use to make loads of jams. She used to bring the jam into the garden room, where we all met for coffee and lunch.
For me the most important memory was that we all sat together. Leaders, bosses, cleaners, we were all a big family. (Just as in the Bible, we sat as a family) It was my holiday. I used to visit for two weeks every year. Even after I left England and came to Cyprus, I would continue to visit.
So, I have seen Moggerhanger Park go from ruins to a mansion. I have made many friends. We continued to keep in touch with Monica and Clifford, and for a while they would visit Cyprus each year. Clifford would come to speak at our Fellowship and in others on the island. It has been a beautiful friendship for over 25 years.
