On Monday 6th and Wednesday 8th October in the morning we had times of fellowship and testimonies, at the Avanti Village conference room Paphos. Here are some of the testimonies shared by members of the team.

Limassol Sunday Service at Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ
Sunday 5th October
Limassol
Daniel 2 v 20 & 22
Praise the name of God forever and ever, for He has all wisdom and power (NLT).
He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, And light dwells with Him.
(NKJV )
We awakened on Sunday morning to the warm golden rays of glorious sunshine in a clear blue sky. It was an early start for the group as we left Paphos for the 1.5 hour journey to Limassol, situated on the southern coast of the island. Our diverse group ranged in age from a little toddler to two grandmothers in their nineties. Each one had their part to play in God’s marvellous plan as we later learned during our time of sharing.
As we travelled South East we passed mixed terrain; majestic mountain ranges, lush areas of green vegetation interspersed with bright flowering shrubs contrasted by dry, arid, sun scorched regions.
We were greeted by Pastor Christadoulos and his wife when we arrived at the building they are now using for their services.
As Sincere Praise sang the sweet presence of the Holy Spirit filled the sanctuary. There was a visible change on the faces of those present as the Holy Spirit was able to move unhindered. Each song selected by Minister Jenny was under the divine inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit for that specific moment in time and in keeping with the needs of those present.
Reverend Taylor delivered a Kairos word which was for the appointed time.
Pastor Dennis shared a prophetic word on hope. He stated that he is always conscious about time . Our days are numbered and it is so important not to waste one second doing something that has already been done. Some things God has already predestined for us.
During his message Pastor expressed that the Word of God tells us that God makes all things beautiful in its time. The onus is on us to understand God’s timing. We can do the right thing at the wrong time.
God says in Jeremiah 29 v11, “He has come to give us a future and hope.” He takes the broken pieces of our lives and makes them into something beautiful.
Pastor concluded by declaring, “All that the devil has stolen from us is coming back.”
Pastor Christadoulos and his wife were so encouraged when they heard these messages. They shared that they are in the midst of a terrible crisis. Even their lawyers have told them that there is no hope. They said it could only be God that led minister Jenny to come at this time to their church after many years of not coming to Cyprus. It could only be God that led Rev Taylor and Pastor Dennis to bring such specific messages that have so encouraged them and given them hope.
To you Lord God belongs honour and glory!! You are the revealer of deep and secret things.
Sincere Praise Concert we had at the Harbour in Paphos
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!” Isaiah 52:7
A troop of WWMF soldiers in the army of the Lord descended on Kato in Paphos with one Mission in mind; to tell as many as possible, about the good news of Jesus Christ that would go out in word and song through a gospel concert. This would be held in the harbour later that evening.
Some of the group had never been to Cyprus before, but all were resolute in their mission to ensure that all those they came into contact with had an opportunity to hear the Good News of the Gospel. They left no stone unturned. A grandmother pushed her granddaughter in her buggy while distributing leaflets, such was their determination to let nothing stand in their way. The WWMF group fully embraced the word the Lord had impressed on Pastor Dennis at the beginning of the year to build Him an army. As they stepped out in faith the Holy Spirit did the rest.
People gathered an hour or more prior to the start of the concert. Tourists, together with local people filled the seating areas and the hum of excited chatter filled the air.
As Sincere Praise opened with a jubilant song of praise…”High and lifted up in all the earth is who you are,” Jesus was indeed lifted up. People stood and begun clapping their hands in time to the music.
A blind man who was seated on the front row was moved to tears and told one of the group, as she helped him out at the end, that he didn’t want to leave.
There was a hush as Rev Taylor shared a message of hope. In a world where we see chaos all around us people need the hope that is found in Jesus.
Pastor Dennis gave a Holy Spirit led invitation for people to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour . We praise God for the timely response.
People were reluctant to leave, there were cries for more, some wanted to share what they had experienced. One lady said she cancelled a dinner engagement to attend. She was so overwhelmed by what she experienced that she recorded the event on video and sent it out to people she knew in different countries around the world. She expressed that she had never experienced anything like it.
Another man and his family wanted to know more about following Jesus. He was put in contact with a local church and sent a link to a recent sermon by Rev Taylor titled: What must I do to be saved.
Thank you, Jesus! Mission accomplished!
Sincere Praise Mission Trip to Slovenia and Croatia: Sunday Evening Service
Sincere Praise – Final Service, Sunday Evening
Baptist Church, Rijeka
Journey to Rijeka
We travelled two hours after lunch on Sunday afternoon, arriving in good time to have a sound check and pray, trusting God for a breakthrough.
Anticipation and Atmosphere
People came with great anticipation and expectation. Approximately 60% of the congregation were unchurched individuals who had been invited either by a friend or a friend of a friend.
The word had spread like wildfire that a gospel choir from London was coming to the city. The venue, a modern new-build church, was packed.
An Outpouring of the Holy Spirit
From the moment Sincere Praise sang their first song, you could feel the outpouring of the Holy Spirit like liquid fire. People were on their feet rejoicing, faces beaming and hands raised. Even people unfamiliar with this setting could not sit still.
Individuals from different walks of life and ethnic backgrounds became united as Jesus was lifted up for the world to see. Heaven came down and glory filled our hearts as we sang in praise and worship to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
God had gone before us, and the Holy Spirit had prepared hearts for this explosion of praise!
The Word of God
The Word of God went forth, taken from Matthew chapter 8, regarding the Roman Centurion putting his faith in the authority of the spoken Word from the mouth of Jesus, which resulted in his servant receiving a miracle of healing.
When the congregation heard this, they erupted in applause—it was incredible!
Concert Overflow
The concert started at 8pm, and the audience would not let the choir stop singing, requesting one song after another. Each time Sincere Praise attempted to leave the platform, the audience cried out for more. They could not get enough of the Gospel in song.
Finally, at 10:15pm, the choir left the platform.
Many people were crying—especially men—overwhelmed by the power of God. They just sobbed in His divine presence.
Next Steps and Reflections
The wonderful privilege of discipling these people now begins. We pray that there will be fruit that remains.
The power of prayer is unfathomable. We want to thank everyone who lifted this mission trip to Slovenia and Croatia up in prayer. God has done far more than we could even ask or think. People received Jesus as their Saviour, others were healed and delivered from the strongholds of the enemy. People testified of being forever changed.
Dates have been provisionally booked for our return in 2026. It is all in the Master’s hands.
Closing Declaration
“The nations shall hear the Gospel and come to the saving knowledge of Jesus!”
What an honour to be co-workers with our blessed Saviour in these last days!
Prayer Points
- Pray for those who have heard the Gospel for the first time, that the seed of the Word would germinate and bring forth fruit.
- Pray for the pastors and leaders who have been strengthened and encouraged throughout these meetings. Many souls were saved and delivered, and many will now be attending their churches.
- Thank God for the new doors that have been opened for 2026.
- Let us continue to cover Croatia and Slovenia in prayer.
Sincere Praise Mission Trip to Slovenia and Croatia: Sunday Morning Service
Sunday Morning – 31st August 2025
Scripture Reading
Our WWMF Bible reading was from Isaiah 65 & 66 v.14 (NIV):
“When you see this, your heart will rejoice,
and you will flourish like grass;
the hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants…”
Arrival at The Full Gospel Church
As we entered The Full Gospel Church (CRKVA CJELOVITOG EVANDELJA), Zagreb—a spacious, modern building—the atmosphere felt spiritually vibrant and joyful.
We arrived two hours early, and already a diverse mix of people had begun to gather in the foyer. Pastor Mario and his wife Bonnie arrived and warmly greeted the team. They were keen to ensure that all our needs were met, diligently checking that we had all that was necessary for us to minister.
Opening of the Service
The service opened in prayer, followed by praise and worship, creating a heavenly climate and inviting a divine encounter with the Living God.
Reverend Taylor’s Testimony
Reverend Taylor shared a tremendous testimony, explaining how she gave her life to the Lord Jesus at the age of eleven. Despite being brought up in a home where her parents had an intimate relationship with God, she realised that she didn’t know Him personally for herself.
There were many young people in the meeting, and Reverend Taylor spoke about how Jesus had kept her from her youth right up until the present day.
It was a word in season! Rev. Taylor declared that this was only possible because of Jesus, stating: “Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me!” As this was proclaimed, the congregation broke out in spontaneous applause.
Ministry Through Song
The Holy Spirit used Sincere Praise to minister in song as a forerunner to the Word. This was taken from Philippians 4 v.4:
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!”
The emphasis of the message was: Maintaining Your Joy.
Responses from the Congregation
After the meeting, one lady expressed how overwhelmed she was by Rev. Taylor’s testimony and the renditions by Sincere Praise. She had come over from war-torn Ukraine and reported: “This was just what I needed. If only the people in Ukraine could experience this.”
Another lady, who didn’t speak English, ran up to one of the choir members after the meeting and hugged her, trying to express her feelings but unable to do so because of her limited English. Her expression and excitement said it all.
Closing Reflection
We join with the Psalmist and say:
“Sing to the Lord, for He has done glorious things;
let this be known to all the world.”
(Isaiah 12 v.5)
