Firstly, you will see during this lockdown we have been massively updating the website and we would love to hear your feedback on the changes. We know it has been a tough time for everyone and while we have not been able to meet in person, we decided to do Zeal Zoom Prayer Nights. This is where we have been praying for individual’s needs, missions and ministries, organisations like the NHS, governments and nations to give them the guidance to make the right decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic. These are great evenings of fellowship, and incredibly encouraging to hear the amazing testimonies of what God is doing despite all the negativity in the world.
Due to everything, here at Zeal we have been unable to travel or hold meetings so we have not been able to share the word in person. Therefore, we are in the process of producing “Around The Table” modules. These are using the material from our previous teachings and making them into videos. The first of these short videos is “What is a FATOS*?” which has gone live today! I really hope that you enjoy it and take something from it. Any feedback would be hugely appreciated as I want to make sure that the videos are accessible and helpful to as many people as possible.
In addition, the ability to share a testimony with people is incredibly difficult in today’s climate. Fortunately, although you may be unable to share your own, you can bring a message of hope to others by Passing the Baton and sharing Peter’s Book, in order help them find their joy, peace and blessings in this age of disbelief. They are available in paperback or e-book versions and is available on the kindle store.
Finally, we have been working on alternative methods to share the Gospel while remaining conscious of social distancing. In order to do so we have created a line of t-shirts, and made them as affordable as we can. We want everyone to be able to share the joy of the Lord, and communicate that from 2 metres away.

Zeal prayer meetings began in 2008 when Peter Ruck responded to God’s call to be a full time evangelist. We pray for missionaries, evangelists and outreach events around the world. We also pray for the sick or needy and see many miraculous answers. We are a spirit-filled non-denominational group of believers who meet fortnightly. We operate a 24/7 WhatsApp prayer line where requests are posted and prayed for by our prayer warriors.

Grace Church – Fanpol, Minsk Belarus.
“The morning began with wonderful time of worship and prayer in a traditional Belarussian style with traditional hymns played on the piano. It was the first time I had exprienced quite like this in Belarus it was really a spirit-filled time.
It was time to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. I began to share the Good News hand tract how on left hand side was the Lord’s prayer and the Jesus went to the Father and asked what He should pray. (in Luke & Matthew 6:9;13). Then I drew there attention to the right hand with Bible verse Isaiah 49:16 asking them all to look at the right palms as we read the verse to them explaining how God knew each person name and that God wanted a personal relationship with each person. I felt so motivated as each person look so intently.
I asked if they would like to hear story how God had answered a prayer in my life and showed them pictures. Then shared the Great Commission with the church from Matthew 28:18-20. how they had a responsiblity to share with their community. How we are all different God had made this way, so we could make relationship others and invite them to hear about Jesus.
The church had been involved in tent mission last summer, it was good to hear the pastor how it has attracted people who would have not normally attend church. I finished the service with an invitation to receive Jesus as their saviour.

Peter Ruck first visited Minsk in 1999 to minister, then served several times at the “Time to Go” mission schools over a number of years.Peter was excited at the prospect of meeting former students and friends on his return.
The Reboot conference was for evangelists and missionary’s who have passed through the mission schools. Delegates came from various regions of Belarus and Russia some had travelled over 2000km in a bus.
The team of experienced evangelist missionary leaders were Yauheni Huronvich, Svetlana Novikova from Belarus, Sofi Pranczk, Waldemar Pranczk from Bulgaria, Andre Alexeev and Inna Burmistrova from Russia and Peter Ruck from England. Each one of the team shared with the delegates over days it was a great time of fellowship we all ate together it was good time of bonding and team building. They enjoyed the practical demonstrations and workshops shared by this experienced team.
An evening of Question and Answers was very popular with everyone. The Finale was a time of testimonies for the delegates it was good to hear how many of them had caught fire as many shared with us all it was so encouraging.

We were invited for a three day conference by the Christian Church, Schaerbeek, Brussels. Our host Pastor Petar Petrov welcomed us and introduced us Pastor Gururaj Iyengar and myself Peter Ruck. Telling the folk we had travelled from England and driving from the ferry in Dunkirk to the centre of Brussels.
We came together each session to preach, teach and heal. Each day bringing words of “ENCOURAGEMENT” from day one people had encounters with God.
People were healed and saved the next two days. We had a time of testimonies on the final day it was a wonderful time of ministry. So many people were blessed. I had a special moment seeing a young man making a decision to follow Jesus, his name was Ivan he was learning English and received my book “passing the baton”. I asked do you have a Bible he said No, I planted a seed in his hand to buy a Bible this morning he sent me a picture of him with my book in one hand and a Bible in the other.
Leaving them with challenge of fulfilling the great mission. What and encouraging time Raj and Peter had over this weekend. Came home tired but truly blessed.

The evening began with Nick Mitchell welcoming everyone and introducing the worship team led by their senior leader Graham O’Leary from the Encounter House church. Rev. Roger Gayler from Lambourne Church read Psalm23 before James O’Leary sang a very moving solo. Then, Nick Mitchell intoduced Peter Ruck inviting him to share his story.
Peter began telling his story which began with Lord’s Prayer those who know him know about his passion everyone was about to hear how the seed was sown into his life by his parents, Sunday school teachers and Lambourne school teachers.
Peter shared his childhood, going to local school, attending Lambourne Church getting married there his children were christened there. How he moved to Theydon Bois, raising his family there.
His testimony unfolded how he become christian, going through the Roman Road seven scriptures with everyone. How one particular scripture tipped him over the edge “For the wages of sin are death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”
He told everyone he had only gone to church because his wife was sick. His encounter was life changing, ten days he walked away from a horrific car crash. How God had opened his late wife Eileen’s blind eye, before she passed away and he was at peace knowing God had prepared a table for her in heaven.
Peter had prepared a visual presentation on a large screen, He introduce his wife Judy showed pictures of a mission into the jungle, into prisons, hospitals, explaining how his ministry had taken around the world into Africa, Asia, Europe, the former Soviet Union, Israel, India USA, Canada and of course around the UK. Peter’s book “Passing the Baton” was available on the bookstall – a true story about a message that takes a village boy around the world.
Many people came for prayer during a time of ministry with Peter and the Zeal team.
Some great contacts were made as Peter Brown of Zeal a prison Chaplin received a collection of poems by Sheila Bell from Abridge Free Church to be distributed to inmates. They are pictured together below.
