Will Battery is the outcast that received the first intercessory prayer from Rees. Will was in poor health, addicted to alcohol and homeless. Rees asked the Spirit to give Will Battery the gift of salvation for Christmas, but Will disappeared for ten days. On Christmas Eve, Will returned to the chapel and Rees and Will spent Christmas together. Will asked to come to the cottage meeting Christmas Day and that was the beginning of Will's salvation. Rees helped Will turn his life around helping him find a job, housing and clothes.
