This month I'm featuring Godfrey Birtill's testimony. I have been in
relationship with Godfrey since 1998 and we have partnered together in ministry many times over the years. He is the most radical worship leader I know. Here is his story.

During the 80's Godfrey and his wife Gill had moved to South Wales,
where he was a professional photographer. He even had the opportunity to photo Prince Charles. As he discerned his career in photography was coming to a close, he heard about "The Revival On Marsham Street" in London (1997), hosted by Christian leader Gerald Coates.

Godfrey states that, "at one of these meetings Texan preacher Dale
Gentry was speaking. Dale was speaking on Breakout, going beyond ourselves; acceleration by faith. I remember he spoke on Psalms 18, WITH MY GOD I CAN LEAP OVER A WALL, and as Dale explained the wall is often the point we get to and then disqualify ourselves from going any further, through age or circumstances. We'll come up with some excuse as to why we should stay the side of the wall within our own limitations, where God is calling us to move in the supernatural. I believe it was time I got over the wall and God was there to GIVE ME A LEG UP (must be British talk)."

Godfrey continues, following the Marsham Street meetings, Martin Scott, a writer and speaker from within the Pioneer Movement, launched a prayer initiative called Sowing Seeds for Revival. It was on those prayer walks that Godfrey's songwriting career really took off. His song list includes His song list includes BREAKOUT, (co-written by Dale Gentry), OUTRAGEOUS GRACE, FERTILE GROUND and many others. A few months ago one of Godfreys songs was #1 on the Christian music charts in the UK.

Today, Godfrey and his wife Gill live in Lincoln, England where he
works with Stuart Bell at New Life Church. Godfrey also continues to minister with Dale Gentry and will be with him in Baytown, Texas September 10-12.
