A BCW Family Reunion

The Bible College of Wales Alumni Gathering was a wonderful reunion of the past School of Ministry students (since 2015 when the college reopened). As our graduates gathered from different churches and nations, there was such synergy and a joining of hearts.

Held in Singapore this year, we also had the wonderful privilege of hearing from Pastor Peter Williams, the visiting speaker and one of our beloved lecturers at the School of Ministry! As he preached, full of the Holy Spirit, a fresh desire to see revival in our times was re-ignited within our hearts once more.

A key highlight of the gathering was the prayer times for revival. Worshipping and seeking the Lord with a fresh hunger and renewed surrender to His will – these moments resembled the times spent waiting upon the Lord at The BCW. One of the graduates shared about a moment she had during school term when she broke into tongues, not knowing she was speaking Welsh. As we were led into intercession for Wales, a familiar chorus filled the room. “Wales, Wales, we prophesy that you shall be saved. With one heart and one voice we join hands and rejoice, that Jesus is Lord over Wales," - everyone lifted their voices to declare that the Lord would pour out His Spirit again in a fresh way. The presence of the Lord was so evident, and many who

came left refreshed, refired and recharged in their spirit.

Pastor Yang and Pastor Daphne took time to address everyone and shared their hearts, exhorting everyone to press in for more of the Lord - to stay the course and run the race to the finish line, and if any should feel “lost” or “distracted”, to return. They also took the opportunity to introduce the latest developments at The BCW – and these will await visitors on their next trip to the Land of Revivals.

Latest Developments at The BCW

The Pavilion

While walking into the Italian gardens, you will now come across The Pavilion, a space connected to the legacy of seeking God, and one very precious to the late evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, who was himself a former student of The Bible College of Wales.

As a young man, he sought the Lord here for his calling and it radically changed his life forever. Recounting the moment, he shared: “I cried out to God, saying ‘Lord, I’m not a teacher, I’m not a preacher, I’m not a pastor, I’m not an evangelist.” The moment he uttered these words “I’m not an evangelist”, the Holy Spirit spoke and said, “I have called you to be an evangelist.” “I grabbed it and from that moment on, I knew what God wanted me to do.” He continued to prepare himself and was used powerfully by the Lord as an evangelist in Africa. What was an ordinary garden became the birthplace of his clear calling. A reminder that God meets us in honesty, shapes our purpose, and speaks direction into surrendered hearts.

The Circle

A new spot at the college which visitors can look forward to using is The Circle, equipped with a fireplace. Students can now have campfires, and visiting groups can meet for interaction and fellowship here.

A New Meeting Hall

Replacing the old conference hall is now a new one that has just been completed. It can seat 350 people and the 2026 BCW-SOM Autumn batch graduation will be held here. There is constant physical progress at the college year on year and continual spiritual renewal as God leads us ahead.

Thank you for standing with us at The Bible College of Wales. It has been an amazing journey with testimonies and miracles along the way.

With much love,

Pastor Daphne Yang and the college staff
