I remember one day, several years ago, everyone talking around our homes here on the mission property (situated just outside of Belo Horizonte in the mountains of Brazil.) They were saying; “All he said was, ‘Jesus,…..’ and the glory of the Lord filled the place.” I asked, "Who are you talking about?" They said; “Vincent,…..Vincent Skinner.” Through my curiosity, I invited Vincent to our home. Vincent, Lisa and their sons have been our good friends ever since.

 

I have traveled and worked with Vincent and Lisa in the nations, and knowing their hearts, I can tell you this is not just another book. It’s a reflection of the ministry of Jesus through a man who has a passion for winning the lost as the emphasis, through the manifestation of God’s presence in the revival meetings. John said in his gospel, “And there are also many other things that Jesus did. One of the things that attracted us to Vincent was his love to see God’s glory touch those who don’t know Him. Vincent draws from the insights of the rich experiences as he sees God manifest His glory, in response to men and women who hunger and thirst for God.

 

When you are with Vincent you soon realize that titles, positions, rules and regulations of the structured business of ministry is not as important as God’s presence. Protocol is not as distinguished when you are in the manifest presence of God, and relationships are paramount. It’s not about us, it’s all about Jesus! Yet the closer we get to Him the more we see a loving Father God and He cares about us.

 

In Him we live;

Hype and pretension has lost much of its allure for me. I long for authentic expressions of Christianity. I think most of us are looking for genuine servant hearted leaders to be consistent examples for the church. Vincent Skinner is someone like that, whom I have come to admire for his authentic walk with God. He lives what he preaches and demonstrates his faith by signs that consistently follow his ministry. His unassuming manner in life and his confidence while ministering both leave the impression of the Spirit of Jesus. His impressive ministry of breaking open new fields by the power of God has spanned over a decade.
