The Gospel is good news! The Father welcomes us into His presence, the Holy Spirit has been poured out, and His sons and daughters live under an OPEN HEAVEN. We NOW walk in partnership with the God of the impossible and are empowered to continue the ministry of Jesus on earth as Holy Spirit-filled believers. We are a sent people.
We love His presence and when we encounter Him, we are transformed; transformed people transform the world around them.
This year the theme will be the Holy Spirit and what it to means to walk in His anointing and power. We are believing in these days for a Holy Spirit fire to spark across the UK that will transform our land and go to the nations.
It is a joy to have Phil Wilthew and Carole Wilthew, from Kings Arms Church Bedford, with us co-leading this event along with the GodFirst Team. Last year was such a good time and this year promises more times of encounter and transformation for the sake of our world.
Phil is an elder at King’s Arms and has been a part of the team since 2010. Phil oversees a number of areas of church life including the Prophetic Team and the Send Team which supports and resources churches and leaders in other nations. Phil is married to Carole and they have two children. Phil is an avid football fan, supporting Brighton, and likes to unwind by playing FIFA. Fun fact, Phil always has an ‘emergency banana’ at hand!
Carole is a South London girl, who miraculously met Jesus as a teenager and has never looked back since. She has a passion to raise up an army of intercessors who know how to bring heaven to earth as they pray. Carole regularly mentors intercessors in her online prayer school. She is also passionate about her family, her dog Bailey and a good strong cup of Yorkshire tea.
Duncan is married to the amazing Jo, they have three fantastic kids and one incredible son-in-law. He has led GodFirst for 14 years and his passion is to see the church display God’s glory and His people being equipped to bring the Kingdom of God in a million different ways every day and everywhere. He believes transformed people can transform the world. Towards this end he loves seeing people discover their identity as sons and daughters of God and live from the overwhelming love and approval of Father God.
Morné is married to the beautiful Leanne. They are originally from South Africa and have been living in the UK for 20 years. Morné is the Associate Pastor and one of the elders here at GodFirst.
