Church leaders report as many as 1200 people have responded to the
gospel on the streets of Reading over the past 3 weeks.
Rev Sam Owoo of Tyndale Baptist Church told Premier there is an
"unprecedented" openness to the Christian message in the town.
While reluctant to use the word "revival", Neville Hollands
from LifeSpring Church said there had been an "evangelistic awakening".
"It's early days but it seems God is up to something. Something is
happening".
Mr Hollands also reported that church leaders in Reading have been
gathering every Wednesday morning for the past 14 years to pray for the town.
He said the latest news could be put down to "Good relationships and
persistent prayer".
Reports of an awakening were first circulated after Florida-based
evangelist Tommie Zito began holding meetings at The Gate Church in Reading to
train local Christians in evangelism nearly 3 weeks ago.
