He  serves on the Council of the Evangelical Alliance in the UK and the Boards of Reference of Oasis Trust, Interserve and Christian Solidarity Worldwide. He is also very active in Christians in Parliament and The National Prayer Breakfast.

“The more I hear of Bless’s vision” Andy says, ‘The more I want to cheer it on. We need such a movement that will empower and inspire young people to live lives of sefless service. Whether they serve in church, community, business or politics, they will serve more fruitfully if they have truly learned to live for others.”

Welcome, Andy – we appreciate your support and look forward to working with you.
