Yorrie B. Richards (died 2011). Born in Maesteg, Wales, Yorrie Richards was a British evangelist known for his dramatic conversion and prophetic ministry. Raised in a rough environment, he struggled with drinking and was a feared figure locally until an Apostolic church’s prayers led to his salvation. Despite a persistent stutter, he boldly hired Maesteg’s town hall for evangelistic meetings, where, after initial struggles, intercessory prayer by “Uncle Dai” reportedly ushered in a powerful revival, with many saved and his stutter overcome during passionate preaching. Richards ministered primarily in the UK, including Nottingham, where he lived with his wife, Eirian, daughter of the evangelistic Carr family, and influenced younger preachers through deep, Spirit-led sermons. His ministry, marked by simplicity and revelations, extended to places like Dundee, though he authored no major books. Eirian, a knowledgeable partner, died years before him, leaving a void. Richards passed away in 2011 in Nottingham, leaving a legacy of fervent faith. He said, “The Lord’s glory cloud appeared, and souls were saved by His power.”
