Flo is from a farming family<br />
in<br />
Northern Ireland; one<br />
of<br />
11 children. During<br />
our time at Moorlands<br />
she served in a drug<br />
rehabilitation centre.<br />
She’s passionate about<br />
caring and loving people,<br />
and thought she was<br />
on her way to Africa – but we just connected.<br />
We married a year after leaving college.<br />
I worked with a church for that first year after<br />
college, then joined Youth for Christ as an<br />
evangelist. I was part of Eric Delve’s ‘Down To<br />
Earth’ mission team, along with another young<br />
preacher called J John. J John’s goal was to<br />
be an evangelist to the nation. I was different.<br />
My aim then and now is to mobilise hundreds of<br />
evangelists each to be evangelists to the nation; to<br />
put mission on the agenda in every church. J John<br />
went on to set up Philo Trust, and I stayed with<br />
Youth for Christ. Over the years I’ve deliberately<br />
invested in dozens of young evangelists and have<br />
sought to encourage the gift of evangelism in<br />
churches across the country. That’s where the<br />
Talking Jesus course, Amplify and Revelation Trust<br />
come in – but I’ll get to that later.<br />
CHRIST<br />
I WAS WITH<br />
CHRIS<br />
YOUTH FOR<br />
FOR 28 YEARS AND BECAME<br />
NATIONALDIRECTOR IN 1996<br />
Many of the relationships that were vital in<br />
developing <strong>HOPE</strong> Together, began as I toured the<br />
UK as an evangelist working with churches across<br />
the Christian community.<br />
