MEET THE TEAM

Nigel and Maria have been involved in pioneer church planting for many years and have a passion for Jesus and His church. The couple host a House Church between Newport and Cardiff, South Wales. Nigel has a 'deep love' for the word of God and Maria is prophetic and loves to pray and administrate.

The couple were involved in leading Harvest Time School of Evangelism alongside

Evangelist Marilyn Harry for ten years, where 100's were trained in personal soul winning, street evangelism, home evangelism and crusade outreach.

In 2012 they received a clear call from the Lord to return to New Testament house church and to open their home for the church to gather. In 2020 they were further challenged to take the principles they'd learned in how the early church functioned and to train and join forces with others on the same journey.

They say, ‘we're excited about challenge 100 because it has has the potential to mobilise a nationwide army of ordinary lovers of God. During our time with Marilyn and the school we received a revelation that impacted us deeply, that God delights in using the ordinary to do the extraordinary. We are convinced one of the most effective ways to reach the towns, villages and rural hamlets in our nation is to rediscover the priesthood of ALL believers and the explosive methodology of how the early church met in ordinary homes'.

Andrew and Deb have been involved in Challenge 100 from the outset and are a loved and valued part of the team. They are deeply relational and pastoral 'lovermatics' and have a passion to encourage folks to reach their full potential in the Lord. Andrew is prophetic and receives dreams and visions from the Lord and Deb is administrative and loves to pray.

The couple live in Crumlin South Wales and are members of the local house church and come alongside several house churches locally.

Andrew and Deb have two grown up children and five grand-children.

Mike and Karen are founding members of the House Church that began in 2013 @ the farm.

They are wonderful 'team people' and run their own business in the Valleys which employs around 100 people. Mike and Karen originally from Leicester now live in one of Cardiff's suburbs and host a house church in their home. They are not only deeply spiritual but are also great fun!

The couple share a passion to see House Churches multiply across the nation.

Marilyn needs no introduction, being involved in major missionary activity in Wales, the UK and overseas for five decades. An anointed evangelist, Marilyn has an apostolic breakthrough ministry which has seen thousands come to Christ and receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Marilyn has been greatly used to mobilize the church in evangelism, teaching believers to move in the miraculous and healing. Marilyn is a highly respected leader and

Challenge 100 is honoured to have her as advisor and overseer of the movement.

a new era is upon us

With the world around us changing at a fast pace, and with the challenges and climate we find ourselves in,

my gut feel is that house churches will be an absolute necessity for fellowship, teaching, prayer, discipleship

and community in the coming days. I think we have slowed down the advance of the gospel by professionalising church, raising the bar to such an extent that many fiery members of the body of Christ are simply unemployed! Challenge 100 is all about releasing the incredible potential in every believer and I feel stirred that the Lord is about to release a supernatural unity that will enable us to work together on a scale we haven't seen before. We are believing God that these house churches will be birthed in signs, wonders and miracles, salvation, healing and deliverance. I'm looking forward to working with like minded people who want to start a house church. We can't wait to hear from you!
