The Tide Has Turned

Following an adolescence marked by drug use and crime, Anthony experienced a dramatic encounter with Jesus in a bedsit in a run-down seaside town. Months later, he began attending a local Anglican church but was eager to join one of the 'New Churches' emerging in the early 1980s.

For decades, he was an active member of local 'New' churches and participated in the signs and wonders movement they promoted. He advocated for change, seeking miracles and the ultimate goal - Christian revival across the nation.
