reid has started a new ministry 'what God can do ministries' Not very imaginitive, seems too be a copy of the peniel 'what God can do for you' tv programmes.
Quote from website 'if you would like prayer in any area of your life, we are here to support you. Submit your Prayer Request on the prayer request page or contact one of our Ministry staff and our church congregation will stand with you in prayer.'
I wonder what church he is referring to? He doesn't mention a church on the website.

reid does not actually say that he was sacked by peniel church for adultery over many years! Or that he has nothing to do with peniel any more!.
I wonder why he hasn't mentioned these small facts on the website?

michael reid

This is a man who has now reached retirement age although he refuses to retire. Over the many years that he has been in ministry he has done a lot of damage to many people around the world.

The church that he has mostly been involved in (he set up the church together with one other person) is Peniel Pentecostal Church, which is based in Essex near London. In 2005 it was rebranded as michael reid ministries.

In April 2008 reid was forced to admit to an affair with the choir mistress that had lasted for around eight years. The disclosure came at a time when reid had set up the CCTV organisation to promote traditional family values within the UK. He was publicly and vociferously campaigning for these values, and publicly condemning those whose lives were not based on these values. In particular, he condemned homosexual lifestyles.

It was not a surprise to me that reid could engage in such a public campaign whilst he felt entirely happy to totally disregard these standards as being of any importance in his own life!

Since reid resigned in disgrace from the church, it has changed the name to Peniel Church and is currently trying re-establish itself in what would appear to a genuine attempt to purge the memories of reid and to establish a 'real' church that does not follow in his footsteps.

The 'new peniel' should not be seen as a 'bad' church. Their attempts to establish Peniel as a proper Christian church should be encouraged and they should not now be tarred with the same brush that should be used to cover reid from head to toe!

The Peniel Church under reid's control

The later years of michael reid and Peniel church were very controversial. Reid established a control over peniel that had very little to do with genuine Christianity.
