W. Ian Thomas and Torchbearers

W. Ian Thomas was an evangelist, Christian evangelical writer, theological teacher and founder of the Torchbearers Bible school.
He gave his life to Christ as a teenager but he had approached things in the wrong way relying on his own energy.
One November night, in despair, having tried to do it his way for seven years, he knelt in prayer. He needed to realise that God wanted to live through him. This changed his whole philosophy.

I got up the next morning to an entirely different Christian life.
