World War 2 Prayer Meeting
Rees Howells and the innercessors at Wales Bible College impacted World War 2 through fervent and persistent prayer. Prayer meetings were a daily event from 7pm to midnight and often later the students and staff would pray all night.
Every week and often for days at a time there were whole days of prayer. God would lead them to pray for one or more aspects of the war.
They prayed fervently for God to intervene at Dunkirk and the Holy Spirit came upon their prayer meeting and they knew God had done something supernatural.
Again, they prayed regarding the Battle of Britain. God showed Rees that he would protect the college from air attacks. They continued to pray and God intervened. After the war, Air Marshal Lord, Dowding Commander in Chief of Fighter Command in the Battle of Britain made this comment, "At the end of the battle one had the sort of feeling that there had been some sort of Divine intervention to alter some sort of sequence of events which would have otherwise occurred."
During the war God found some chosen vessels
A group of innercessors who would wrestle
A battle taking place behind the scenes
Crying out to God was their daily routine
In war the enemy was caught unaware
God had found warriors, God had heard prayer
Through innercessors He always prevails
Hidden heroes at a small college in Wales
They prayed with agony, they put in the work
And they turned around the battle at Dunkirk
During D Day they prayed in their small groups
They knew God was helping the allied troops
From 7pm to midnight every day
Innercessors would come to seek and pray
Passionate persistent prayer to the core
And through innercession it changed the war
Today, most of these people remain unknown
Yet they changed the world by praying alone
At that obscure and remote college in Wales
They showed that passionate prayer never fails
