My parents were active members of Chilwell Road, and after returning from a Methodist boarding-school, I became involved in the young people’s activities in the church. Following the encouragement of Rev. Raymond Stoppard, I applied to become a local preacher in 1962, finishing my course at Cliff College where I studied Evangelism. I worked for the Church Army for 35 years, in parish work and, for the last 12 years, as a Prison Chaplain in Feltham Young Offender establishment in London. On my retirement I returned to Beeston and resumed my local preaching and involvement with Chilwell Road. I am a member of Headway, which equips evangelical Methodists in daily living. In my ministry I have sought to keep the Bible central to my preaching and tried to connect my preaching with evangelism. In recent years I have sought to show people how the Holy Spirit is or can be working in people lives. I also try to challenge people in their prayer lives to deepen their trust in God.
