Briefly, what were the circumstances that led you to the Lord?
I was born into a home where my parents were both Christians. This didn't make me a Christian, but it helped me understand who Jesus Christ was. I have no idea when I became a Christian, but I suspect it was when I was very young. I spent ten years of my life in science as a physicist before training and becoming a full-time pastor.
What are your favourite passtimes/hobbies?
I love astronomy, when I get the time, reading, playing guitar and listening to Pink Floyd on YouTube.
Do you have a/any favourite TV show(s)?
Watch TV with four boys? You must be joking!
What is your vision for Manor Park?
To see people come to know God and find through his Son real life and hope. To see them grow in their faith and equipped to serve God with the gifts he has given to them.
What's your favourite kind of music?
Most kinds, except Heavy Metal and Opera. Sorry. Keane, Coldplay and Travis are cool.
What is your favourite passage of scripture?
2 Timothy 3:16-17. Preachers paradise.
What's your most favourite place on earth?
Good question. I have lived in Karachi (Pakistan), St. Paul (Minnesota), Southampton, Wolverhampton, Harrogate, Liverpool and now Worcester. Like the seasons, each has a charm of its own.
