Experience relevant to Christian mission.

Became a keen Christian in my teens, was baptised and a member of an evangelical church.

At college I was president of a Christian Union society.

After qualifying as a teacher I taught Religious Education in a high school for 4 years

In my mid 20s I also started preaching and teaching in local churches. I took various courses to aid this.

In 1979 I was one of the founders of The Canaan Trust, Staines (see below) and was employed there for 38 years until retirement in 2018.

Trained as a Christian counsellor via Association of Biblical Counsellors.

In 1982 I was one of the founding leadership team of Kings Community Church, Staines and continue to be a member there.

I came to Ghana in 2012 and have been visiting each year since then.

Following retirement I have spent longer periods in Ghana for ministry and mission.

During my visits I've taught in bible seminaries, seminars and different churches.

I have been part of teams going to more remote areas in the western and northern regions on missions trips. Have worked with Life3NRelief extensively Supporting its valuable mission to unreached parts of Ghana. It's director Chris Insaidoo has been an important adviser to my mission Trips.

Have led an orphan sponsorship scheme via Orphans and Needy Smile Foundation and supported the Grace and Hope Foundation orphanage.

Have also assisted with charitable projects in agriculture, water supply and education. Again some through Life3NRelief.

I am licensed in Ghana as a Very Reverend minister under the auspices of International Council of Churches and Ministers of Great Britain. Offices at Shiloh Cathedral, Tanaso, Kumasi.
