Annual Message and Update 2022

annual report and update 2022

A year we came close to giving up, saw our greatest miracles and bought a house with no money!

We live in a time of great difficulty for so many.

UCB Christian radio have spent last week dealing with the subject of poverty and helping raise awareness of CAP (Christians Against Poverty).

I want to address this today and talk a little bit about why God allows suffering and difficulties, and what the fruit of that may be. And how can we think about missions at a time like this?... read more >>

Amazing Trip - 9th Oct 2022

amazing trip

We have had an amazing succesful mission trip here in Kenya. We've seen over 500 people respond to the gospel during 5 tent meetings in kakamega & 3 outdoor evangelistic meetings in Kisumu.

We held a 3 day pastor conference & preached in 3 churches on the Sundays to encourage and strengthen the body of Christ. All glory to God for the miracles, salvations and testimonies we've seen and heard here. God has been so good!! Bless the Lord oh my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Devil worshipper saved - 9th Oct 2022

the devil defeated on mission   the devil defeated on mission

While Martin preached today a devil worshiping cult sent a young girl to disrupt the meetings.
She was so full of demons. But as she came near the building she came under the power and
conviction of the Holy Spirit. She sent in a note asking if she could come in and repent instead.
She was wonderfully delivered from multiple demons. The smell was of sulphur as they came out.
She was unconscious for a while before being completely healed and giving her life to Jesus.
This is stuff straight out of Acts! God is doing amazing things in Kenya
Revival harvest is coming
Praise the Lord

The Power Released - 24th Sept 2022

the power released

The power released when people get truly thankful and trust God, is stronger than you’d think

Tonight I had a strong conviction to preach from the heart about not worrying, rejecting anxiety and focusing on Jesus! Knowing that is where the solution is. That when we start to get really thankful for what God has done we will not worry too much about what is still to be done.
I asked them to spend a couple of mins giving thanks for what He has done in their lives.
They really responded heartily
But what surprised me was how the Holy Spirit responded to their faith and gratitude.
People were slain, healed, sins forgiven, people weeping and confessing sins. Demons couldn’t stand it and manifested and left.
The power that is released when Gods children put their full trust in Him! Wow
Here’s a 3 min version of their response. It lasted hours

About us

Operation Hope is the ministry of Stephen and Lisa Pilkington

They have both been in ministry since 2007, Stephen graduated from Mission Bible School with a BA Hons in Theology and Missions. They have pastored churches, planted churches, hosted evangelistic and prayer based events around the country. They have been used in many other countries around the world in missions, leading thousands of souls to Christ, seeing countless miracles and healings as well as being privaliged to have set up an orphanage in Kenya. They are currently based in North Wales and are active in the region, believing God is about to move in a wonderful way.

Steve and Lisa firmly believe that all fruitful ministry should start with prayer, and is empowered by a lifestyle of prayer. Since 2008 they have been involved in and running Houses of Prayer everywhere, or Hope as it is known. Rather than making plans and asking God to bless them, it is their practice to seek God first, align with His plans and prayerfully partner with Him. Operation Hope is simply the outworking of all that God has commissioned them to do while in the House of Prayer.

Please take time to look through the different pages and see some of the activities they are currently involved in. God has been gracious to give Operation Hope all that is needed to bring tent missions and concentrated evangelistic events to your community here in the UK. Check the pages and contact us for more information. Stephen is available to visit churches to preach, inspire or offer strategic Kingdom training.
