The REALM is a counter cultural celebration of the Father’s benevolence toward mankind because there is more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance. It is a manifestation of what happens in the Fathers house in the vision animation that is on the MERCY page of this site. A reflection in the visible of what happens in the invisible. The events are hosted by the GEM CREW who are those who have accepted and experienced the love of the Father. They are a network of people aged between 30 – 50 from South London Suburbs who believe in the death and resurrection of The Lord Jesus Christ – consequently they are full of The Light of Life and radiantly shine on Earth as Citizens of Heaven. This is the communion of Saints. The fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
The triumph of light over darkness is a holy Jamboree which includes the activities of Gideon’s army (Judges 6) and King Jehoshaphat (2 Chronicles 20) who when surrounded by darkness and trouble led their people with a shout of praise to God. This resulted in the enemy going into a frenzied panic, destroying it-self. Those attending supplement this behaviour with the common belief that they can overcome evil (darkness) by doing good. Genesis 42 tells the story of a man called Joseph who lived in Egypt. He was mandated to build a storehouse, which resourced the nations with food in a time of famine. In the same way one hundred percent of income generated by ticket sales at REALM events is given to charity. The collaboration of rejoicing and purposeful fundraising creates an energizing power of liquid light that expands throughout the land because the money accumulated at the event is contributed to charities, that are operating and combating injustice, in dark places locally and around the world.

Participates at this event wear high visibility costumes in a dark hall to resemble their condition in the Spirit having been forgiven of their sins. On his return the Prodigal was given a festive robe of honour, as was Joseph to signify his authority to manage the storehouse. Isaiah 61 says “My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness” The REALM is also a city that shines like a Precious Jewel. Revelation 21 calls this ‘The Bride of Christ’ Isaiah 62:5 says ‘as the Bridegroom rejoices over the Bride, So your God will rejoice over you.’ These incredible celebrations are the precursor to a normal church service. They pulsate and whirl around a culture of giving. A missional combine harvester that absorbs people who have been living in darkness by integrating them with God’s Family who live in the Light as He is in The Light. It is an assembly where souls are transfigured whilst simultaneously financing charities that are advocated by local churches.
