I serve as a global Director for the Pais Movement , and currently live in Arlington Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers. I have been married to the beautiful Beccy for 19 years and have three sons.
Together with Beccy we have over 22 years of experience working as missionaries and as part of church leadership teams in Croydon, Manchester, on the North Coast of Northern Ireland and in Arlington Texas. Having used performing arts for a large part of that time we are passionate about innovation and creativity.
In 2010 I started ‘Because You’re Loved’ an initiative which aims to provide simple tools for people to share God’s love with their world. (www.becauseyoureloved.com). “Because You’re Loved” started with just seventy five volunteers, and has now been adopted by the whole of the Pais movement throughout the world mobilising thousands sharing their faith in their everyday life
.
Through my role as a Pais Movement Director I spend a lot of my time writing, training, equipping and mobilising individuals to connect and engage in local communities throughout the world. I regularly, teach on themes like; everyday mission (Because You’re Loved), adventurous faith and mission strategies.
Outside my role with The Pais Movement I can usually be found with a pair of drum sticks in hand, or a cup of tea and occasionally pretending I lift.
The last 20 years on mission has been a roller coaster of an adventure so we decided to document some of our stories of risk, breakthrough, healing, creativity and exploration, on this website.
