Faith

I've been in youth ministry full time since 1996, and was a volunteer at different levels (local church, District and National) in Ireland before that. Over the years there have been some wonderful adventures, crazy moments and ups and downs. I'll share a few of them here, suitably anonymized, and hopefully they'll give you a smile.

Although I'd grown up in a church community, it wasn't until I was in my late teens that I truly understood God was, and is, real. By then, a couple of people had spotted some potential in me for future leadership. My faith permeates all I do, I try and reflect Jesus to others whenever I can, and that story, his story, my story, is woven throughout this website. Please use the links below to browse different stories, moments, ideas and more from my faith journey.
