	I was brought up the only child of working class parents in the West of Scotland. Following family tradition I was taken along to our village kirk. This led to regular attendance at Sunday School and then Boys Brigade. Despite this full involvement with church activities, like my parents I was unsaved. Over these years my surroundings were torn apart by my father's alcoholism and violence in the home. Finally my mother took me to a new town where we began
a new life. There I spent my high school years. Throughout this time my idol was football in which I found a focus for many of my thoughts and aspirations. Then my mother was saved when I was in my early teens. Ironically, at that time I slipped away from the church scene. At 17 I left school with good qualifications but with no goals in life. I caused heartache by dropping out of a college degree course. However, I soon found work as a bank clerk. This brought financial independence, and along with my circle of companions I embarked on years of seeking worldly pleasures. This eventually led to great emptiness and often loneliness. I knew more and more that living for Jesus was what I truly needed. I knew too without a doubt that I was a sinner. Conviction of sin at last constrained me to repent and receive the Lord Jesus Christ. On a Friday evening in July 1990 the Lord honoured my mother's patient witness as well as the prayers of many. Over the last fifteen years the Lord Jesus Christ has become more and more precious to me. He has shown His utter faithfulness towards me in every way. With patient gentleness He has led me in the pathway of discipleship and service. My call to the pastoral ministry in Lincolnshire came in 2002 after two valuable years of Bible College training and three years as an itinerant evangelist in Scotland. "Yea I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee" (Jeremiah 31:3).
