Hello,
I started this year challenged through a podcast as to whether “I loved the work I do for the Lord more than I love Him.” I had to really check my heart; I am still a work in progress. I do love the work we do for Jesus, but I am intentional that I must love Him more! I am telling you this because so many people have said to me, “Yes, I might do that too!”

We have had a fruitful time on the Forges and on missions in the previous four months and you will see more significant testimonies in this edition. We had great reviews following the last Burning Issues, and I hope you find this edition helpful too.  The Burundi Field Report is very exciting with opportunities opening with significant leaders plus an amazing testimony.  

We were teaching into Healing of the Land on the Fireside in October, followed by a well-attended prayer event on Zoom in November. We concentrated on prayer for the United Kingdom, and we have two great articles following on from this which I hope will be a resource you can use as you pray for your homes, towns, cities and churches. We are hosting more prayer events, please join us if you can.  

Tristan has recently written a book, Made Ready in the Fear of the Lord, and there is a great book review of it by Rob Barton. The book is so worth a read, and it will prepare you for the return of the Lord and challenge you to holiness.  

We remain expectant for all the Lord will do in 2026 and we thank you for your prayers, your financial support and your love.

Blessings Galore!

Healing the Land

It was in Juba, South Sudan, whilst ministering to a group of South Sudanese Army Chaplains at a Flame conference that I witnessed my first miracle as a result of this teaching, Healing the Land.It was the final teaching of the conference, and after the teaching we gave space for the Chaplains to respond in prayer. These large, strong, and godly men humbled themselves, kneeling to pray and formed ...
What is God Saying to the Church today?
February 28th, 2026
I do not claim a full understanding of the Lord’s Word to the whole Church. We see through a glass darkly, 1 Corinthians 13:12, each of us part of a big jigsaw. However, I would like to share some thoughts I feel God has given me about the opportunities facing the church today.It’s His Church not ours The church is described as God’s body here on earth, constantly growing and expanding, Ephesians ...
New Age Practice: Asking the right question
February 28th, 2026
Whenever we consider any issue, asking the right question is vitally important. If we ask the wrong question, no matter how finely crafted the answer, it will always be wrong. This is certainly the case when we consider the deception of new age teaching and its infiltration into everyday life. I have to give a warning here. My aim is not to bring anyone into condemnation but rather shed light on w...
Mary's Journey
February 28th, 2026
Before JesusAlthough I ticked the ‘Christian box’ on a form, I never knew Jesus as my Lord and Saviour until I truly encountered Him on 23 February 2023 when I cried out for help one night; and the God who hears, Psalm 18:6, met me there and lit a fire in my heart to love and serve Him. The next Sunday I was in church and the start of a rollercoaster spiritual journey began. Two and a half years l...
Prayer for the Nations: United Kingdom
February 28th, 2026
With an ever-increasing conviction, we believe we are being called by the Spirit to pray, pray, and pray! In these days, it is something the Holy Spirit is clearly calling the Church to do and when we hear the call we must respond. This is why towards the end of last year we were guided once again to hold online prayer events, to gather people together to intercede for the nations. This is not a n...
Field Report - BURUNDI
February 28th, 2026
In 2004 & 2005, then from 2009 to 2012, Flame worked with the Burundi Anglican Church and Harvest for Christ. Some of you reading this report may have been with us in Burundi; others may recall praying for the missions. We travelled the land visiting each Diocese twice and then ran a two-week School in Bujumbura for 32 selected students. Packed our Props bag and left.Until … an unexpected call for...
Testimony from Athens
February 28th, 2026
In November we ran a small mission with pastors in Athens, they recently shared this with their supporters:“For a full week, we lived together, sharing meals, tears, laughter, and the presence of God. During their training sessions, we learned a new way of intercessory prayer, one that gently invited people to open the hidden rooms of their hearts.“As we prayed with church members, we watched them...
Testimony of Healing through the Forge

Is it possible that someone who was completely crushed and broken, having given up on life and God only three years ago, could ever be transformed, healed and renewed?Now feeling ready, equipped, and eager to step into all the good plans and purposes God has in mind for them? The answer, I have discovered, is yes!   Through the welcome, teaching and prayer ministry of Ellel Flagship and the Forge,...
Leeds Healing Days in 2025
February 28th, 2026
The Forge teaching in Leeds had a significant impact on all of us. We sensed the Lord gently changing us, little by little, and when Forge 2 came to an end, we didn’t want the journey to stop. The teaching was impactful, and for some of us the prayer ministry groups had a profound effect on our lives. We began to wonder: was there more that the Lord wanted to do?Along the way, we formed meaningful...
Books: Made Ready in the Fear of the Lord
February 28th, 2026
The fear of the Lord has been a burning passion in Tristan’s life, consuming and driving him close to the Lord since he was a young boy, so this is a book birthed in revelation and business done with the Lord on his knees and face.Tristan reminds us that we should earnestly desire to know the fullness of who Jesus is. God, the Father, loves us and has called us to know His Son so that we may be sa...
