He was led down the path of intercession for many years, before seeing Revival across Southern Africa from 1915-1920. The rise of Adolf Hitler and the outbreak of World War II also marked a period of strong activity in Howells' ministry of intercession. They had only one child, a son, named Samuel Rees Howells, who later became the Director of the Bible College of Wales. In 1924 he founded the Bible College of Wales in Swansea, Wales. After a long period of closure the College has now been purchased, refurbished and reopened by Cornerstone church based in Singapore. (en)
