Since first stepping into university ministry in 1997, and living in Leeds since 2012, his desire has been to promote maturity both in individuals and organisations. Part of this pursuit, while serving at three universities and one seminary, has included sending teams all over the world to serve ministries, engage in discipleship, and share Jesus Christ to those who do not yet know Him. The New Testament shows that churches and intentional visitors are both strengthened and encouraged through their time of service together. Serve365 is here to help facilitate cross-cultural service and learning together.
