During his recent visit to Australia, Mal Fletcher attended the funeral of Pastor Frank Houston, father of Brian Houston and a real faith pioneer. The event was attended by pastors and leaders from around the world, some of whom had flown in just for the day of the funeral. 'Frank was held in high esteem by so many leaders,' says Mal, 'because he had a passion to lift the name of Christ and see breakthroughs in people's lives. He took an interest in people and was responsible for the release or encouragement of thousands of leaders in scores of nations. I have never forgotten many of the things he taught and modelled about faith. Frank was not perfect, nor was he a saint, but he was a man for whom the church was only ever about two things: God and people. We loved him for that.'

Mal Fletcher is amazing; you should hear him preach. It's incredible. He came to my church in Norwich, England and just blew us away.
