I want to talk about how to remain true to your vision, calling and faith. The most important thing is to remain true to the basic principle you began with: many things change with time, but your reason for existence, your motivation needs to remain the same. Over 60 years ago God gave me a vision for Europe - Eurovision - a vision of Europe won for Christ. This vision is God's vision, God's desire - to see His power, His glory in Europe. The Apostle Paul taught in 2 Timothy 4:7 'I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful.' - That should be the desire and goal for all of us in ministry.

Touch is one of the most important emotional bonds we have. Touch directly affects the way we view the world. When we are in trouble and need reassurance, touch can ease the fear and calm the torment. How does a parent bond with their child? Through touch. How does a relationship breakdown? Through lack of touch. What a difference touch can make.  I want to encourage you. Like with the woman with the issue of blood, whatever the crisis in your life, reach out and touch Jesus. In your darkest moment, when you are hurting more than you've hurt before, Jesus is there. He's not forgotten you. He is one touch away.

We need to recognise the power and authority we have in Jesus Name. Power to preach a life-changing Gospel, power to see miracles of healing so that He receives the glory. There is unlimited power in the Gospel to change and transform nations! And that power is available to us now!

There is power in the Gospel to change and transform lives. What changes nations is the simplicity of God's Word, the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our Gospel has unlimited power to completely deliver and change men! That's why Paul said, "I'm not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, because it is the power of God!"

My father was born in Morriston, South Wales, in 1892 and was there in the great Welsh Revival. When the power of God fell, the churches were filled, there was not enough room for the people. The power of God was so strong that ungodly coal miners would go down in the lift and fall on their faces under powerful Holy Ghost conviction. We are seeing the same today across the former Soviet countries.
