Like Paul of Tarsus 20 centuries ago, he wound use his headmaster’s salary to finance the food for the kids’ church, which money all came from his pocket.
His salary would also finance his wife, Evelyn’s school volunteer job which involved traveling to Haig Park and Alfred Beit primary school to teach kids Bible lessons.
Paul Revell’s heart was just to build leaders and not exploit through religion, or any other ways.
He passed on earlier in March in Oxford, where he had retired to.
He was a man of note who stood by his word.
Despite his greatness, there is not a single news article about Revell on the internet and throughout his life there was not a single award to applaud him.
And yet the same man raised nation leaders.
From Malvern High School to Gateway High, whatever Paul Revell would touch would liven up.
The atmosphere would totally lighten up as soon as the man would march into a meeting, and whichever camp meetings involved him, would leave an experience worth living.
On the podiums he would refuse to use the microphone device which the Makandiwas, Talent Chiwengas, Ueberts etc like using, and would say, his voice is loud enough, literally! “I don’t need this microphone; I used to preach on the streets of London years before it was invented,” he would say.
Paul conducted his life like his Biblical alias, the journalist, tent maker, and Biblical author of most books, Paul of Tarsus, who instructed preachers to work for their means like everyone else and not to take a dime from anyone.
