Sorry for the wait. We have put Tommy Hicks biography up with associated references.

An update from Lam Jeevaratnam’s great – granddaughter Lindsay. “Since I last did so my email add. has changed so I can’t log in. Want to update the family info – my father Keith died 2 yrs ago and his brother Peter died on May 5th, 2020. So sadly both of Lam’s English sons are now gone. Best wishes, L J-G.”

We are currently working on the biography for Tommy Hicks.  Although he is well  known for the Argentine Revival of 1954 and for his end time vision of 1961 much of his life story has not been available.  This may take some time as references are very scattered.

Alfred James “Jim” Glennon was an Anglican Canon from Australia.  He led a large healing ministry during the Charismatic Renewal of the 1960s to 1980s that impacted not only Australia but the world, especially in denominational churches. We added his biography and a few reference links for him. 

Alfred C. Valdez was a well known Voice of Healing evangelist from the 1950s.  His father, Adolpho Valdez (A. C. Valdez Sr.) was involved in the Azusa Street Revival and many early Pentecostal meetings.  Both of the Valdez men would minister in international healing meetings in the 1950s.  We also have added Valdez meetings to the Wells of Revival lists.

The ever reoccurring issue of broken links has been addressed (for the moment.) We’re trying to minimize external links and so we will no longer attach them to the Wells of Revival location sites.  We are also  lumping youtube videos into one link for an individual so videos that appear and disappear will no longer impact our reference section.  That means you may see negative as well as positive videos on an individual listed when you click on a youtube link for that person, and it will be up to readers to sort them out.

The Branham sermon links were of particular concern as we had many references connected to them.  The websites changed and one of the sites was picked up by a scammer.  We’ve dropped all individual Branham sermon links in the Wells of Revival section.  We have only left the main links to the updated webpages under the Branham references. This will minimize the impact to our site if they change again in the future.

We have also added many links to the reference section of biographies.  Most references pages have been updated.

We’ve provided Find A Grave Links wherever possible.

We’ve added more historical newspaper sites to the Research page.  Many states are working diligently to digitize their history before old newspapers crumble into oblivion.

We’ll be adding some new biographies shortly now that this project is done.

The contact form company we were using went out of business and we were never notified.  We have updated our contact form so that it is working again.  Sorry for any inconvenience. 

Many… MANY.. videos of John Wimber teaching have shown up on youtube now.  We have updated the Wimber research page to include some new articles, video and audio teachings, and research sources. 

It’s hard to keep up with links that change all the time, but these are current as of April 2018.
