"[It] is not a technique, it is not a program, it is not a church growth plan but something from the Lord."

While news of the Burlington revival that lasted from Mother's Day to mid-summer in North Carolina reached around the world, there was another burgeoning revival that began around the same time and is still growing—this one in the UK.

A mission outreach at the Gate Church in Reading, began on May 29th with evangelist Tommie Zito, and is reportedly still seeing an amazing harvest.

There are morning and evening meetings with church members doing evangelism on the streets of the town in between.

At one point, over 1,200 people made first-time commitments or rededicated their lives to Christ in only three weeks, according to the Christian Today report.

Yinka Oyekan, pastor of The Gate remarked, "It is not like anything I have ever seen or experienced before."

Oyekan noted that it is "not a technique, it is not a program, it is not a church growth plan but something from the Lord."

In fact, this exciting response to outreach started with a prophetic dream that Pastor Oyekan had some 15-years-ago. 

"I saw a river flowing like a waterfall onto the street from the roof [of] the church building we occupied at the time," described Oyekan in the Christian Today report, "[and] above this cascading river was the cross." (Photo: The Gate Church/via Facebook)

Similarly, the general secretary of the Baptist Union, Lynn Green felt that the Lord "wanted [to] move in Reading," and got in touch with Pastor Oyekan, ultimately helping to plan the current mission outreach: "Awakening in the UK—Encounter at the Gate."

Pastor Oyekan and others are excited that the outreach may become a "full blown revival" in Reading.
