I arrived in Willowfield along with my family, Eunice my wife and our children Simon & Sarah, in February 2005. As Community Outreach Worker with Willowfield Parish Community Association my job is wide and varied. I co-ordinate much of the outreach that happens i.e. ‘Giveaways' we do on the streets and local pubs, run the Alpha Course, and lead our ‘Prayer for Healing on the Streets' each Saturday. I am also involved in Kidz Klub on a Friday evening and I am part of the Woodstock Ward Ethnic Minority Support Network which looks at how we as a community can be more welcoming and helpful to those from other parts of the world who are now moving into this area to live and work. On a Sunday afternoon you will find me at The Bridge Lagan Village Hall, Ballarat Street where I am responsible for ‘Just 55' which is our new Sunday service with a difference.

The first 34years of my life were spent living and working in the picturesque fishing village of Kilkeel in Co. Down. When I left school I went into the family business of Painting & Decorating. I gave my life to Jesus in 1992 and soon after felt God calling me into fulltime Christian Ministry . In 1997 I sold up the family business and moved to Sheffield to begin my training with Church Army to become a Church Army Evangelist. On leaving College in 2000 I took up my first post in Carrigrohane Union of Parishes Co.Cork with responsibility for looking after the Church of the Resurrection in the famous village of Blarney .

As for hobbies, well I attempt to play golf occasionally and enjoy watching football, especially the best team in England , Manchester City ! I also enjoy reading when I have no golf to play or football to watch. When it comes to holidays you usually find us somewhere in our touring caravan.
