He became a Christian and after studying at Spurgeon’s College, London he became a minister. He was the founder of Hope Now in 1985 and currently the International President.

The Mens’ Group Breakfast will be cooked and served by the ladies. It will be held at Lawnsmead Church Hall in Wonersh starting at 8.45 a.m.

The guest speaker is Mick Brooks who is the Chief Executive of Crusade for World Revival (CWR). The organisation effectively began when Selwyn Hughes was still a full-time minister in London. He wrote his own approach to Bible study on the back of a postcard for a few members of his congregation. Nearly four decades later over three quarters of a million people in 160 countries read Every Day with Jesus, daily Bible readings for youth and children, and Inspiring Women Every Day.

CWR has spearheaded the training of Christian counsellors, leaders and workers in this country and abroad.
