 Born - In October 1953 in Dudley, West Midlands.
Family -
My mom wanted a girl but now knows she had the best - by far!
She still looks out for me, even though I'm in my 50's! Dad's
always been an inspiration, always encouraging and usually
right! Although, when you're younger, you don't usually realise
it.
Education - I really enjoyed school and I think I made the most of it. Although I failed the 11+ exam, I managed to achieve some successes.
Workwise -
I first tried to qualify as an accountant and failed. Which
is, perhaps, just as well as I found accounting SO BORING!
So I moved to Admin in Dudley's Social Services.
After 3 years of that, I changed direction completely
to start a new career as an IT Salesman - or 'Account Manager'
as we like to be called now. I worked for just two companies
over 20 years, finally as the Regional Sales Manager for Hamilton
Rentals, now part of Compel.
In 2002, I started my own business - Midland
Web Services - Jan works with me. Although we have
a lot less cash in the bank, we able to go wherever God
leads.
Became a Christian -
When I was 12 years & was baptised in the Holy Spirit some
5 or 6 years later. Over the years, I believe God has
called me into various roles – 10 years with ‘The
Alethians’ gospel
folk band (remember Dave Pope? TEAR Fund? ), Sunday School
Leader, Youth Leader at an AOG church for 4 years, and
now an Elder, Trustee & Worship Leader at Calvary Church
in Kingswinford, Dudley. All servant positions.

 Born - In Dudley, West Midlands in November, 1950.
Family - My dad worked as a planner and estimator in engineering for most of his life and became a christian with my mom later in life after being in the methodist church since childhood. My dad was very wise and had a great passion for God and His Word.
Education - I was not that committed to school. I've always rebelled against rules and school was full of them. I did go to university to study art as a mature student and loved it.
Workwise - I worked in insurance claims department until I left to raise our 2 sons. I really enjoyed being a full time mom. Now Ian & I work together in the family businesses - An On-line fresh coffee supplier & a Stoves and Fires supplier.
Became a Christian - My sister, my mom and dad all became Christians when I was a teenager and I wasn't very pleased. After kicking against it for 5 years I realised that Jesus was who I had been looking for in all the confusion and horribleness of the 60s. My passion has always been for the presence of God. I was content to support Ian and raise our boys until God began to move me to a life of prayer and intercession. I went to the prayer school at Burton on Trent where we grew as a team, doing prayer missions in the UK and Europe. A few years later we started a house of prayer and prophecy in Stourbridge, as a safe place for training and releasing people in prayer, warfare and prophecy. God is speaking to us at the outset of Greater Things to begin a journey into the supernatural open heavens lifestyle. This is an exciting time of new discovery for us as we launch into Greater Things.
