Dave Vaughan, a Christian who was in the Big Brother house in 2010 Print E-mail
Its so awesome that Dave Vaughan was in the Big Brother house from 7 June to 24 August 2010! Dave, a personal friend of ours, really loves Jesus and is one of the most on fire, enthusiastic, genuine Christians we know. God opened a door for him on this show which is watched by millions!  This sowed seeds in millions of lives! He was very open about his faith in a passionate and fun way and was a great blessing and encouragement to the housemates. For example, on Friday 11 June he prophesied over one of the housemates, Sunshine, and this was broadcast on TV the following day! On 20 June he offered to pray for Steve's legs and then read in the Bible what Jesus said about building on the rock. Maybe the best one yet.
On Monday 14 June he was nominated for eviction but then won the task from Big Brother the next day so Rachael was up for eviction instead and she was voted out! On Monday 21 June he was up for eviction again, however Govan was evicted on Fri 25 June with over 70% of the vote, and so it was such a blessing that Dave remained in the house. On Monday 5 July none of the housemates nominated Dave! The favour of the Lord and the people who vote was clearly on Dave! 
Dave, along with four other housemates, was in the final on 24 August. Josie won, receiving 77% of the vote. Dave came second, with 9% of the vote, Mario third with 6% of the vote. Dave did so well, we are very pleased for him.  Here is an awesome TV interview that he had when he was finally evicted: http://bb-cache.channel4.com/bigbrother/video/2010/Aug/25/exclusive-dave-interview/play.c4.
You can watch edited versions of the previous episodes here: http://realitytvfan.org/category/big-brother/big-brother-uk-11/Some crazy things happened in the house, but we saw God's glory shine out through Dave, so please pray for him that God will continue to use him as he receives media attention, now he is out of the house. You can see comments on Dave's time in the house on the official facebook fan group here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=133664876650049.  Here is a very well written reflection on Dave's time in the house, on Martin Scott's website: http://3generations.eu/blog/?p=2901&cpage=1#comment-3281. It shows how relevant Dave's experience is to all of us.

Big Brother 2010: Profile of Dave Vaughan

Dave was the sixth housemate to enter the Big Brother house tonight. In his VT he said:

“I love Jesus and I am a Christian minister. For 3 or 4 years I was on drink, drugs sex and rock and roll. For the last eighteen years I’ve become a different person. At times I get so overwhelmed by Gods presence and if people get around me they get transformed.”

Age: 39
From: Pontypool, Wales
Occupation: Minister

This ex-postman/ex-pest controller is now a Christian Minister who lives at home with his wife of 17 years along with his four kids, three dogs, six chickens and lots of rabbits. David recently organised an extreme religious event on Barry Island called Sloshfest which attracted hundreds of people from around the globe.

Top of the class at junior school David went off the rails as a teen, drinking and taking drugs. But on October 11th 1992 he met Jesus. Since then he has thrown off the shackles of drink and drugs getting drunk on “Godka” instead.

As well as God David believes in UFOs and ghosts but only as an extension of his understanding of the scriptures. He says he doesn’t want to go into the house to preach but to be himself, claiming to be funny, bright and likeable when he is relaxed.

David enjoys hunting, fishing and Cardiff City FC. He says he spends a lot of time doing very little but does travel through time and space in the spirit realm and the weirdest thing he’s done is “visit the sun.”

He says “I didn’t want to go on Big Brother and I feel weird about the whole thing”, but since wondered if God’s opening a door to the show for him. Whilst in the house he says that he is up for having fun but won’t do “anything of a sexual nature, or that may harm my Ministerial integrity”.
