by Ashley Davidson, Mum, Pastor and Author

I believe our children’s generation is one that is destined to walk in the supernatural gifts of God. I have heard so many prophetic words about their generation seeing revival, seeing God’s glory and a move of the Holy Spirit so great that it changes our world.

Family Bible & Prayer Time - where do I start?

by Joanne Gilchrist, writer and founder of Ruach Resources

The 23rd March, 2020 was the first day of the UK “lock-down” and a day of new beginnings. For Joanne Gilchrist (creator of God for Kids app) and her family, it was a day of good intentions. “Finally,” methought, “we have the time to do the things we have always been too busy to do.” Like family devotion/prayer/worship/Bible time (or whatever you call it where you are from).
