How God has developed our ministry
For more than forty years God has faithfully led and worked through John and Pam equipping them to reach out to others with the overflow and encouragement they themselves have experienced as they have stepped out in faith.
John and Pam were involved in pioneering a Christian outreach in the centre of England, Meriden, reaching out to the local community and beyond, meeting needs through prayer and personal ministry as well as establishing and leading a Christian fellowship in Meriden.
In 2003 John and Pam became involved with the ministry of Ebeneezer, running this and the local outreach ministry side by side for a time. Two years later John was asked to become Regional Representative and Pam the Prayer Leader for Ebenezer Operation Exodus. Whilst watching videos of the aliyah John saw the scripture Ezekiel 34:11, the same scripture God had given him at the start of his calling:
I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak
For the first time John could see how God had led him with Pam to fulfill the original calling, first with the outreach in the Midlands then in Meriden, and finally through their involvement with Ebenezer. Thus they became involved in national outreach, and also international, as they travelled to Ireland and to Israel.
In 2007 the ministry of Heart of England Outreach in Meriden was handed over to a younger pastor and his wife. John and Pam stepped back to let them become established and Pam was asked to become National Prayer Coordinator for England. John and Pam would remain in ‘the centre of England’ for a further three years before moving to the Isle of Wight in 2010.
John and Pam now minister mainly at local churches with an emphasis on teaching the foundational truths of God’s word, and bringing much needed encouragement.
The Journey
by John Yates
This is a fast moving account of how God saved and delivered John, then entrusted to him a powerful prophetic vision which would lead him to move to the very heart of England to establish a church and outreach ministry.
Through John’s simple obedience and trust God would use this ministry as a sign that he was going to cause his Word and his Spirit to come together in an increasingly powerful way in these last days, and that his kingdom presence would ripple out across England and beyond.
This is the final update of John’s book, published in 2025.
The Ripple Effect
Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. John 7:38
The human heart functions as a powerful, four-chambered double pump located in the centre of the chest, which continuously circulates blood by dividing it into two specialised circuits.
Jesus describes a “ripple effect” where the Spirit’s presence within a believer flows outward to bless others.
The human heart is a clear illustration of what God showed me forty-six years ago.
This was at a crucial time when God took over my life in an instant and began to show me that the heart of England was where he wanted His Kingdom presence established.
From the Heart of England His spiritual presence, the blood, would then ripple out to the rest of the UK and beyond.
I have heard of people speaking a lot lately about a ripple going out from their church or fellowship.
The purpose of these notes is to confirm that God wants His spiritual presence3 to ripple out from the Heart of England.
God led me to Meriden the historical centre of England in 1993 to begin the process of planting His kingdom presence with prayer 32 years ago.
However, I feel now that the vision has been confirmed with the emergence of the Wall of Answered Prayer.

Words to encourage and build your faith
Climbing the mountain
For those who are following the plan and purpose of God there will be mountains to climb. The first thing we have to know is, “What is the Lord calling me to do?” For the person who is committed to the call of God on their lives, God has a plan for you. God wants you to fulfil that plan and to get on with the job of climbing in faith. Even to climb the whole mountain, or to fulfil the big picture, there are smaller ledges, banks, and troughs to deal with on the way.
Are you still climbing or have you come to the place where you are just not able to continue? It might be that you are in a place where you can neither go up or down – you are just stuck?
Breakthrough
‘To really reach God, we do not need to pray with our understanding – we need to ‘breakthrough’ in the realm of the Spirit. God is waiting for His Body (the born-again Church) to move into a much deeper and more meaningful relationship with Him – we need to open ourselves up to God and allow Him to reveal what He wants to do in this nation
“Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him” (Isaiah 64:4)’.
We should not be saying, “Father, what can I do for You?”, but rather, “Daddy, here I am – I want to spend time with You!”.
The coming together of God’s Word and Spirit
In 2015, Peter Hill, an English brother, received a vision from the Lord to establish and release a prophetic act to herald the nation to pray for revival in the land. He understood this as being a call to release and fulfil the prophetic words given by Smith Wigglesworth and Jean Darnell previously.
Peter met David Gilbey, who had a great burden for prayer for his own city and the nation, and also heard what John and Pam had been doing in the central region. ‘Call The Nation to Prayer‘ was formed at this time. On Peter’s first visit to Coventry in 2017, with David, they were led to stop off at Meriden. As David looked up he saw the sun’s rays bursting out from the top of the old Cross on the Green, and imagined lightning from heaven touching the top of the ancient cross, and radiating out to the entire nation.
On the 29th September 2018 two connected gatherings took place, one in the ruins of old Coventry Cathedral, a place known internationally as a place of peace and reconciliation. This itself was prophetic. As the prophecies of Smith Wigglesworth and Jean Darnall were read out by David Gilbey, and reflected on, a declaration was made that “The time for the fulfillment of these prophecies is now”.
