STRANDS OF DESTINY. HOW GOD USED A CRASHED CAR TO ENVISION AND BUILD A MINISTRY

Strands of Destiny is Peter Horrobin’s personal story of how God prepared him for his life’s calling. Peter shares the moment God envisioned him through the remains of a crashed car, and the journey to finally establishing the work of Ellel Ministries at Ellel Grange in 1986. This extraordinary and miraculous story will build your faith as you journey with Peter through the ups and downs of an amazing spiritual adventure.

There are many strands to the work of Ellel Ministries. In Strands of Destiny Peter illustrates how God wove those many strands into an amazing tapestry. A tapestry which demonstrates to a very hurting world that God loves, God cares and God heals.

Only God could have used the remains of a crashed car to illustrate what He wanted to do in the restoration of crashed and broken lives. God alone could have taken the vision for a healing centre in the North West of England and launched a ministry that would impact the nations through the very lives which He transformed!

Each chapter illustrates how God prepared the way for each step of the journey, often with a chain of supernatural events that only He could have done. Peter shares:

• About a piece of land in Hungary was set apart by God in the nineteen twenties that would see its destiny fulfilled in the nineteen nineties;
• How Ellel Scotland was established through a series of amazing God-inspired episodes;
• The healing of the broken back of a young nurse and launched the work of Ellel Ministries in Australia;
• And much more.

Every chapter is a testimony of thanksgiving for the amazing love and provision of God.
