About the author

                Chris Woolley was for many years the
                International Co-ordinator for the Ministry
                of Vinesong and an ordained minister
                accredited with CiC International.

                His ministry is one of encouraging church
                leaders in their mission of shepherding Christ’s flock, with
                special emphasis on the centrality of worship, unity and the
                relationship between ministry and church.

                “A key to renewal and ultimately revival in the Holy Spirit is
                Unity in the Body of Christ. Ephesians 4 calls us to maintain
                the unity of the spirit and attain to the unity of the faith. It is
                this which Jesus placed so much emphasis in His prayer in
                John 17.”

                “From  the  moment  I  first  became  a  Christian,  there  was  a
                passion  within  me  to  understand  why  the  Bible  believing
                church  was  not  united  in  doctrine  and  action.  Rather  it  had
                many  divisions  within  it,  with  each  part  claiming  it  had  the
                truth.”

                “Within the Ministry of Vinesong and under the leadership of
                the  Rev.  John  Watson,  the  opportunity  to  envision  Church
                leaders  and  workers  has  become  possible.  At  the  com-
                                   st
                mencement of the 21  century there is apathy in the modern
                world  toward  the  true  and  living  God;  and  in  parts  of  the
                church that apathy is mirrored.

                It  is  a  time  to  remove  preconceptions,  formulas  and  pro-
                grammes; to become healthily vulnerable and for the people
                of God to understand there is a level of holiness that is both
                attainable  and  necessary.  This  is  a  precursor  to  seeing  the
                kind  of  revival  that  was  experienced  in  the  time  of  Wesley,
                Whitfield and others, and which has been prophesied for the
                end time church.”
