My late husband and I first met Monica and Clifford in October 1987. I remember it so very well, as “The Great Storm” occurred while we were enjoying their ministry at Lee Abbey.
Although I had been a Christian for many years this was the first time I can remember anyone “opening up” the lives and ministries of The Prophets in a way that spoke to my heart and gave me an appetite and excitement for The Word of God, especially the Old Testament Prophets that has enriched my long life ever since.
To my delight I learned that Monica and Clifford were going to relocate to Bedford and as I was living in Olney at that time, I was keen to find out what they planned.
I learned about the teaching days focussed on the Hebraic Scriptures. These were wonderful meetings where the Lord was present by His Holy Spirit. The teaching was wonderful, as was the worship and prayer. I can only say that I felt like a sponge soaking up all that the Lord had to share through his servants.
This was a special time in my life as The Lord spoke through His Word in a way difficult to explain, I guess this was a defining moment in my walk with the Lord. I learned and I shared with others.
Clifford, David (who has long gone to be with the Lord) and others faithfully opened the Scriptures and I was a keen pupil and anxious to take what I was learning to my local Church community.
Through his writing in “Prophecy Today”, through State of the Nation tapes, books, Prophetic retreat times, through celebrations and time of sadness and testing, Monica and Clifford have been an example, encouragement, inspiration and teachers over many years.
I am deeply touched by the fact they can even remember me, one of the many folk they have met and ministered to during their long years of ministry. I thank God for every memory I have of them and their willingness to serve their Lord and Saviour.
My life has been enriched through them in so many ways.
