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 />
