“Beryl Henwood’s true story is real, raw and radical. She has been through the refining fire of grief, betrayal, hard challenges and long years in ministry, and come out shining like gold. This YWAM NZ elder is a true inspiration.”
Biography
Beryl is an intercessor and moves in gift of deliverance, healing and prophecy. She is the mother of six children; three girls, three boys and has 19 grandchildren. She was dramatically saved at 30 and began ministering as a youth leader in her church after her first husband, Ken, died in a plane crash. Then she ministered to witches wanting to leave covens and began speaking at women’s retreats.
Beryl married, Bill, and had her last two children with him. She was busy with pro-life work, leading a post-abortion group, "Opened Arms", then they directed Youth with a Mission schools for over 24 years. Beryl has taught Spiritual Warfare in Australia, Fiji, Rotuma, Tonga and New Zealand.
Recently "retired" from directing YWAM Zion (Maungaturoto), Beryl still teaches on YWAM schools and ministers in local churches. She is experiencing the beginning of a great revival in the north among Maori, a confirmation of a vision she had over 20 years ago. The Lord said, "I am sending my Spirit to New Zealand, first to the Maori, and then to the Pakeha."
Beryl’s memoir is entitled, Battle Cry (formerly published, The Oil of Joy for Mourning).

Kingdom Come 2020
Well, summer has been very busy. So busy in fact with visitors and prayer ministry that I haven't had much time for working on my second book. I'm about two thirds of the way through and now have even more stories to include. One of which is a recent trip to Cape Reinga with a team of young people from YWAM Kona. They are praying through New Zealand from the Cape to the Bluff. They are part of a movement called Kingdom Come 2020 and are praying for revival.
Prepare the way for the Lord
It's almost the end of the year and on reflection it has been a huge season of preparation.
I retired from leading YWAM Zion last Christmas, thinking it would be a fairly quiet existence from now on. Not so. The Lord has opened doors I could never have imagined. The revival that He spoke to me about so many years ago has begun. He said, "I am sending my Spirit to New Zealand — first to the Maori and then to the Pakeha. Unity. Unity. Unity."
Beauty for Ashes
I started writing at a very young age. I loved books. I read constantly. So the first 'book' was a diary that I wrote out of anger and pain after my parents divorce when I was 8 years old.
I wrote short stories at high school and during the early years of my first marriage but the first serious book was written as a sort of therapy after my husband died in a plane crash. I wrote steadily in a haze of pain and grief and then threw it in a cupboard. Many years later I felt led to complete the story, so finished writing and had it published.

“Beryl’s testimony is an encouraging account of a woman’s triumph in the midst of personal tragedy and grief. In Beryl’s life and in the lives of the girls I have seen God preparing branches for the fruitful days that lay ahead.”
