but that it should be holy and without blemish. Eph. 5:27 AKJV

"PERFECTING THE SAINTS FOR THE WORK OF THE MINISTRY" HOLDING THE MANTLE OF REES HOWELLS TO BRING
TO THE 21st CENTURY
THE TRUE INERRANT WORD OF GOD THAT SETS MEN, WOMEN & CHILDREN FREE!
William
Griffiths
In the 1930's David's Dad, William Griffiths graduated from the College at Swansea, being trained for the mission field by Rees Howells himself. Over the last ten years we were joined by graduate of the 1970's Brian Mason joining together to bring about a restoration of the pure Church without spot nor wrinkle, the emphasis being on the Name of Christ Jesus & the TRUE WORD OF GOD, counteracting the spirit of antichrist in the charismatic movement, that has hurt so many! Today William's son & daughter in law co-ordinate and act as tutors in this continuation of the Rees Howells Ministry.

My role has been in training and perfecting church workers in U.K., U.S. and Asia to bring about conditions for relief from sickness and poverty. Within this calling has come the setting up of teaching conferences and meetings which have gone on for some time in Sri Lanka and India working with ministries on the ground, as shown on the right in Vavuniya, Sri Lanka when the war was on in 2001.
Part of this outreach has been in attempting to set up mission houses in devastated lands particularly in the North of Sri Lanka which has suffered eighteen years of war and now a major Tsunami whilst the national side of our ministry is designed to bring Britain back to its strong moral and determined role as is shown in its Christian Constitutional acts of 1534, 1689 and 1700.
​
One such media mission house is now built in Sri Lanka.
