So you are a member of Preston Vineyard. You come to join us every week to worship, pray and mix with a bunch of folk who could be described as "average" or "fairly normal". You sit and listen to the weekly message, and every now and again the speaker will mention, quote or reference a bloke called John Wimber. Who was he? In short he was the founder of the Vineyard Church as we know it.
JOHN WIMBER (1934-1997) was the founding pastor of the Anaheim Vineyard and leader of the Vineyard movement, which now numbers nearly 1,200 churches worldwide. He authored several books, including Power Evangelism and Power Healing. An average Christian man pursuing his faith - "just a fat man going to heaven," - he would say, when God called him to a much larger task: to lead the Church into dynamic renewal. He learned - and taught us - to touch God in worship, to move in the power of the Holy Spirit, and to see God's Kingdom break out everywhere. Before his death in November of 1997, this ordinary man of faith had been raised up as an international speaker, a best-selling author, pastor of the Vineyard Christian Fellowship in Anaheim, California, and founder of the Vineyard Movement worldwide.
