Biography

I am a freelance educator, living in South Wales, and Founder of the Eternal Purpose Institute. I trained in the fundamentals of Christian mission and leadership with DCI, whilst embarking upon a career as a structural engineer. I later founded a business in desktop publishing and printing, in order to take a step closer towards my vocational aspiration—to write and publish educational, theological resources designed to equip under-resourced missional leaders within Africa.

A season of personal study and intercessory prayer provided foundational material for a series of teaching on discipleship, mission and intercession that took place in Kenya, in 2000. This developed into the mobile academy of mission that I have primarily taught to missionary pastors and emerging leaders within Burkina Faso, West Africa, over the past five years.

In 2008, I completed a Masters degree in Intercultural Studies, laying an academic foundation for my application and acceptance into a Doctor of Missiology research program (ongoing) with Fuller Theological Seminary. The DMiss research will examine the contextual development and delivery of a missional, educational curriculum, in partnership with Burkinabé leaders and learners.
