• Sermon or series that made a difference: Listening to the preaching of Ted Donnelly at the Banner of truth Ministers confernce made a lasting impression on my life as he expounded Romans over three nights God presence was most evident.
• One of my favorite illustrations: To ask the question where are we going? Tombstone inscrpition: "Pause, now as you pass by, as you are now once was I, as I am now so you must be, prepare yourself to follow me!" Then someone had written underneath, "To follow you I’m not content until I know which way you went!"
• Family: I am 48 years of age and I am married to Danielle, we were both converted from secular backgrounds in 1995. And the moment we were saved we knew God was calling us to serve him with our lives. (It took around four years though). This lead me to eventually join a missionary society in the UK called the Open Air mission as an un-adulterated street evangelist which involved preaching and one to one street work with the un-churched.

But because of the third law of thermo dynamics my home is in need of constant repair, so any time I have out from ministry is given to my family who are my first ministry and the up keep of our home which is falling apart around us. And I do enjoy it, so I suppose its a hobbie of sort.
• If I could Preach one more time, I would say...: "Don’t YOU fear God?"
• Something funny that happened while preaching: Two things both concerning fire. 1: Whilst open air preaching my open air-board was set on fire by a member of the public. Which I was using to speak from in the open air. It made a great visual aid!" Secondly only this Chrismas 2006 in a candlelight service during the sermon one of the youth of the Church accidently set his hair on fire in front of his mother who screamed and halted proceedings, thankfully we were able to extinguish the fire and I was able to continue.
