BURNING
Hello,
We have had an exciting few months since our last publication. We held our Supporters Weekend with great international speakers and a beautiful homegrown intercessor. Our mission to Armenia in April was amazing and as I write this, we expect to be in Ukraine in June. We have had several life changing Forge sessions and a good time on the Fireside when we spoke on the Jezebel Spirit. It has been a ball!
This year’s Burning Issues editions are focussed on Intercession and so we have transcribed one of our talks from the supporter’s weekend on the P’s of Intercession which I really commend. We have an excellent book review of Rees Howells: Intercessor by Norman Grubb. We also have a report from a Prayer Day on 1 March when we prayed for the Muslim world on the first day of Ramadan.
Ian Fall spoke at the Fireside on Deliverance, and we have included an article on this which might give you greater understanding of the Flame ministry. We are advertising our new book written by Jon Liggins, called
The Beacons are Lit which can be ordered at the amazing price of £5, plus postage, which I think is a real bargain! It was a labour of love from Jon, and we are grateful for the time and creativity he has put into it.
Finally, we want to thank Gareth Barton for the 16 years he has served us in the capacity of Comms and Marketing, photography on mission and particularly the development of Burning Issues and our publications. Pray for him as he has changed tack, we thank him for his amazing work for us. Welcome to Michael Ridley who has designed this edition.
Blessings Galore!

Seven P’s of Intercession
July 2nd, 2025
This journey of intercession, of carrying God’s heart and being able to go wherever God takes us is such an important gift. There are a few things to consider, and they all start with the letter P. That’s presence, purity, passion, the prophetic, a plan, perseverance, protection and partnership. Presence Most importantly, intercession is about the presence of God. It’s coming into his presence, h...
Fast with Flame
June 30th, 2025
We at Flame are being spurred on to fast – will you join us? We asked the Lord, “What is it you want us to fast for?” This, we believe, was His answer, “This is the kind of fasting I want: Free those who are wrongly imprisoned; lighten the burden of those who work for you. Let the oppressed go free, and remove the chains that bind people. Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the ho...
Deliverance: Controversy, Clarity, and the Call of Christ
June 30th, 2025
The whole subject of deliverance is contentious, but what is it that makes it such a controversial issue? I believe there’s a massive misunderstanding about what deliverance truly is. What springs to your mind when you hear that word? For some it might raise fear because of the realms which are mentioned. Perhaps there’s been an experience of abuse because of deliverance ministry. There is certai...
Judy Miller
June 30th, 2025
Judy Miller recently left a generous financial legacy, she came on our very first mission in 2003 to minister to 200 military war widows. She did all 3 missions to Sierra Leone and then went on the first mission to Maridi in South Sudan. There were six Anglican Bishops in attendance, and I was nervous about speaking to them; she said to me without hesitation,“They need to hear this teaching!” They...
Supporter Weekend 2025
June 30th, 2025
'On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine – the best of meats and the finest of wines.’ Isaiah 25:6 And what a feast it was! For those of us who accepted the invitation to partake in God’s blessing through the 2025 Supporters Weekend we were indeed bathed in God’s gracious love and provision. Well-fed with the choicest of meats a...
Day of Prayer for Islamic Nations
June 30th, 2025
God is doing incredible things in the Islamic world. Consider Iran as an example. Operation World, specialising in researching the demographics and prayer needs of every nation in the world, writes this about Iran. “Massive numbers of Iranians have come to Jesus in recent years! From only 500 Muslim-background believers in 1979, some estimates suggest the number is even greater than 1 million just...
Mission Update Nigeria
June 30th, 2025
We wanted to share an update after our mission to Nigeria in February. Sadly, in April, 51 local people from Zike village were murdered by Fulani herdsman. Rt Revd Mark Mukan led the funerals for those who were killed. On 10th May he responded further by taking the pastors we trained in February, and they applied what they had learnt to those traumatised in the village. Mark said, “We thank God Fl...
Field Report - Armenia
June 30th, 2025
Thirteen of us met up as planned at Heathrow and praise God we had a smooth journey, even reboarding the same plane from the same gate in Frankfurt! We watched as the sun began to rise behind the mountains as we approached Tsaghkadzor, (the valley of flowers), what a welcome!After a power nap we met up for breakfast. Jan led the first of many insightful devotions based on Isaiah 62 and we broke br...
Interview Jon Liggins
June 30th, 2025
What impact have you seen from writing the first book? Lighting Fires in the Dark – the first book I wrote about Flame – was about its first decade up to 2015 and has had a remarkably long shelf life. It has proved a good introduction to Flame, its activities and the wonderful results of its ministry. Personally, I have found it an excellent conversation starter, and I know people have been deeply...
The Forge Testimonies
June 30th, 2025
We are just finishing Forge 1 South in Camberley and over the last year have had a Forge 1 & 2 in Leeds and also Forge 1 & 2 in Scotland. God is faithful in bringing breakthrough and freedom through the Forges, which allows people to know him and serve him better. Here’s some of the feedback: ‘I have never been anywhere where there is so much love.'‘Something traumatic had happened to me at the ag...
