Celebration for the Nations' Vision

A gathering of worshippers in Wales from the nations touched by the 1904 Welsh Revival, to reopen the wells dug by our forefathers, and find new ones for our time.
  
"Gather the people together and I will give them water."
Then Israel sang this song, 'Spring up, O well!'"
(Numbers 21:17)

'The 1904 Welsh Revival ...affected the whole Evangelical cause in India, Korea and China, renewed revival in Japan and South Africa, and sent waves of awakening over Africa, Latin America and the South Seas.' (J. Edwin Orr. 1975)

Let's unblock the wells our fathers have dug!
Let's sing to the new wells of divine intention for our generation!

Come from the four winds!
Ezekiel was told to call to the four winds to come and breathe into the slain so that they could rise up, a mighty army.

Blocked wells, dry bones
The 1904 Welsh Revival was the first one since Pentecost to go to the nations. It affected many parts of Europe and Russia and fed into what happened in Asuza Street, USA, as well as impacting Korea, India and other nations mentioned above.

The First World War, saw revived nations fighting each other just ten years later. The Japanese invasion of Korea did the same thing. Spiritually Wales, England, France, North Korea, and many other parts of the world touched by this move, have become blocked up wells. The bones of believers are scattered, their dreams unfulfilled. Yet, like Abel, by faith they still speak, even though they are dead..

Can the well be unblocked?
This celebration has been formed in prayer for over two years, and actually when we look back, the vision for it has been with us for over 15 years.

My name is Gail Dixon, I am one of the members of the 'Nations' team based in Wales. In 2004, the centenary of the Welsh Revival, I had a vision. I have been involved in Christian ministry for over 25 years, and though I have often had pictures and impressions from the Lord, I have only ever had two visions. The first one led me to move to North Africa where I worked for a number of years, and the second one is what has made me so sure that we must call together this celebration.

I saw sparkling water the colour of sapphire, and it had light within itself. I tried to touch it, but something clear as crystal blocked my hand. I looked up and saw people from many other nations also trying to reach the water. None of us could. I cried out to the Lord, asking why we couldn't touch it. I heard him say,

'It is impossible from your side, but if you sing, the water will rise up and break out. '
At the same time this scripture came into my heart:

"Gather the people together and I will give them water... 'Spring up O well! Sing about it, about the well the princes dug, that the nobles of the people sank" (Numbers 21:16-18).

The nobles were our forefathers who faithfully prayed and saw God come with power. The Lord is calling us together to sing to the water, so it will spring up in our generation, and transform hearts and lives with the power of the kingdom of heaven.

We are calling to believers from the four winds. Come and breathe on these slain. Come and sing to the wells that our fathers dug. We gather in obedience to the Lord, that as we sing, the water will spring up again in our generation.
