Local Evangelist for Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk
I have been the Scripture Union evangelist in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex since the summer of 1991. My hobbies are art, badminton, chess, ornithology and stamps. I am an artist and explore creatively visual means of communication through drama, mime and the visual arts. I specialise in helping churches develop effective ministry to children, young people and families. This includes helping churches set up and run midweek clubs for primary aged children, demonstrating good all-age services, effective training in children's and family ministry, running family weekends, developing church-based youth work and mission activity in various forms.
I have led teams in church-based missions and beach missions on the north Norfolk coast in Hunstanton and Overstrand. These missions are for people of all ages from birth to old age and have been effective in enthusing churches and seeing growth in children's and family ministry. My wife Val and I wrote 'Groundbreakers' in 2000, a popular holiday club resource on a building theme.We write a new programme for each beach mission we do, including a biblical theme song and drama series. Since 2001 I have developed a chess ministry with children, young people and adults, running a weekly chess community club in a local high school and special events at a local church. In 2008 I facilitated the first 'chess and Bible' residential holiday for 10- to 14-year-olds.
