Prayer & Fasting | November 2026 | Yeovil Family Church
Waterstones bookstores at Christmas are so inviting, offering a book for every type of person and genre. An Atlas for the intrepid explorer, a whodunnit for the would-be sleuth, a dreamy romance to cuddle up with in front of the fire, or a historical series of books that bring to life a bygone age and heroes. The mark of every good book is that it is a page-turner, captivating the reader to keep the bedroom light on late into the night for one more chapter.
Prayer & Fasting, 5th November, in Yeovil, felt a lot like “The story of Commission deserves another chapter.” We began our time with a brilliant reminder from Tim Francis, of the author of our story, and indeed the greatest story ever told. God himself, in glorious Trinity, unmatched and unrivalled in His glory and magnificence, different in degree and kind from us, yet inviting us to come with humility and thankfulness into His presence. It was an intimate time of worship.
We were led so well by various leaders in a fast-paced and exciting collage of testimony, mission, prophetic, and prayer. In our time together, we looked back with gratitude to decades of fruitfulness and God’s kindness and faithfulness over key transition points. We were given updates and testimonies of new churches, hubs, training and nations now part of our Commission family.
We looked forward prophetically to battles that lie ahead and the releasing and training, particularly of another generation, with our clear vision to see thousands of lives transformed through planting hundreds of churches in tens of nations. I felt prophetically that God had given us, as Commission, a black and white map of the world, and given each leader a coloured pencil, encouraging us to sharpen our pencils and fill the map with colour.

The day flew past, served magnificently by Yeovil Family Church elders and volunteers, with a real buzz of togetherness and faith for all we were hearing.
Heather and I left the day with a sense of joy and excitement best expressed by “a story this good deserves another chapter”.
