The Harry Wilson Story
Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jun 3, 2009 (message contributor)
THE HARRY WILSON STORY
When I came to faith in Jesus in 1985 the vicar at the church was another Wilson, Harry Wilson, not Harold Wilson! He told us his story of believing in Jesus, being selected for ordination training and heading off to college. Whilst at Bible College he realised that he was empty and powerless to do or change anything. One night in his college bedroom he got down on his knees and asked the Holy Spirit to fill him, change him, and use him for the glory of Jesus. From that night onwards he too was a changed man, leading several churches into renewal and growth.
