Rees Howells, Wales, Missionary
May 29. Rees Howells. Ever since he was twelve, Rees had worked in a coal mine. But in 1906, God called him out of wage-earning and into a ministry of praying for people. For more than forty years, Rees prayed for his daily bread, and God always provided.
While on the mission field in South Africa, and he and his fellow missionaries travelled more than 11,000 miles across the continent.
God commissioned Rees to build and sustain a Bible College in Wales. They were to pray for the funds, and God would provide. With 15 cents (US) in his pocket, Rees obeyed, and he prayed. Soon, the Bible College of Wales owned two buildings for its students, and one building to house missionary children, who could not accompany their parents on the field.

Rees Howells (1879-1950) Intercessor - There is a film on his life under 'films' on this website.
This account of Rees Howells life is taken from ‘Rees Howells Intercessor’ by Norman Grubb.
