About me

How we describe ourselves says volumes about us. Not just in what we say, but what we choose to reveal (and what we keep to ourselves).

Who am I? Am I defined by my family? Husband, Father, Grandfather? Yes, I am all three of those. Married for 74 years (37 years for me and 37 years for my wife!!!), three grown children and 5 grandchildren.

Am I what I do? As work? Perhaps. I am a church planter and pastor, but not just that. I preach and teach, I play guitar and I lead worship, I have written three books, I am an ambassador for the organisation ‘Christ for India’ which works amongst the poor and underprivileged work in India.

Or what I do to relax (Relaxing?—what’s that?!). I mostly enjoy the garden, my family, and my dog ‘Bonkers’. Although I am starting to do some leather working, making bags, belts, wallets and other items, mostly for friends and family, though hoping it will grow into something more.

The most significant thing is not what I think of myself, or even what others think and say about me. It is in my position before God. I am loved by God, a follower of Jesus Christ and an ambassador of the Gospel.

I urge you to check out the offer of Jesus Christ for yourself.
