About Me

I love Jesus
I love my family
I love my Church family
I am a precious son of the living God
My Father in Heaven loves me no matter what

John 17:23b (paraphrased says - Father God loves me as much as He loves his Son JesusI know that the best is yet to come

My calling: Psalm 68:5 Father to the fatherless; defender of widows - this is God whose dwelling is holy. (I am His dwelling). v6 God places the lonely in families; He sets the prisoners free and gives them joy.

God has also called me to minister to pastors, leaders and emerging leaders in South Sudan

More About Me

On the 25th July 2011 I flew from Manchester to Entebbe (Kampala) the international airport for Uganda through which we have access by road to South Sudan.

For the first two weeks of August I joined the team at Revelation Life (www.revelationlife.org.uk) for their Mission School; following which I travelled to my home at Iris Ministries Sudan HQ based in Yei.

I am Poppa to all the children, but particularly to the teenage and older boys; when in a natural family the father tends to take over from mother the caring & nurturing of  the boys. During the teenage years it is so important that boys grow up to be men and this is best done with the loving help of a father. With the help of the Holy Spirit I will do my best to teach & show the boys Godly Kingdom ways.

I also travel across South Sudan to the Churches in the Iris Revival Alliance; teaching, discipling and preaching as the Lord leads.

Iris Ministries Sudan will be my home for two or three years with the occasional holiday in the UK to be with my family and church family.

During my time with Iris Ministries I will be supporting myself with help from Church and friends. ~PAGEID~989C89EDACC841CD8CAD
