Product Information

In tracing where Soul Survivor and Mike Pilavachi came from, I have seen the extraordinary ways God moved, ushering in new worship styles and breathing new life into the UK Church. Either advertising for this event on Twitter didn’t include Mike Pilavachi’s name or has since been deleted.

July – The Telegraph report HERE that the Charity Commission are investigating large donations made to Sou61 by Malaysian business tycoon Tan Sri (Sir) Francis Yeoh. It doesn’t understand how its theology supports and creates environments where abuse can happen, where abusers can thrive and even be defended for their behaviour as ‘the Lord’s anointed’. It was also David C Cook who published a number of projects co-authored by Mike Pilavachi and Andy Croft, including Everyday Supernatural (2014), Lifelines (2018), and Storylines DVD and Small Group Guide (2019).On challenging Justin’s promotion of the for-profit PR company responsible for Soul Survivor’s crisis comms, Justin shared on Twitter with me THIS from Jersey Road PR which assures us that they are committed to safeguarding, complete with links to a guest blog Justin has written for Jersey Road PR about safeguarding. What kinds of transformation and important models of leadership could have been developed if public challenge had been welcomed and modelled?

Three years later, in 2021 Ben Cooley was fired from Hope for Justice for gross misconduct and left his wife and children to marry Asher Telleen, a woman he’d been having an affair with. In 2008, Martyn Smith and his wife Linda handed over the leadership of Manchester Vineyard (as it had become known) to his son Phil Smith and his wife Sarah. July – John Ellis, musician who previously played guitar at Soul Survivor in the 1990s and founded band Tree63 posted THIS blog about his time at Soul Survivor and his reflections on Matt Redman’s recent statement.The Southern Baptist Convention kept a private list of 703 men who were pastors or ministers in their churches and who had abused children, but did nothing with this, stating that the autonomous nature of churches within their network meant that they couldn’t take action. Only two of the eight New Frontiers’ spheres do not seem to have had Mike Pilavachi speak at their events; Advance Movement and Regions Beyond. Wimber visited St Andrews many times, [xi] with the church holding regular residential leaders’ gatherings for Christian ministers from across the UK. For though they don’t say it, their actions do show it, that blessed are the powerful and the ones with the platforms, and blessed are those in the inner circle.
