Spencer Shaw the Chair of Trustees said: “We are grateful to the Lord for raising up Nick with his unique combination of gifts, vision and experience to develop the ministry of A Passion for Life into this exciting next phase of encouraging and supporting churches for a lifetime of evangelism.”

Nick said: “It has been a tremendous and humbling privilege to see the Lord at work over the past three years as the vision for A Passion for Life was revived and churches came together to proclaim the good news of the Lord Jesus in the LIFE 22 national mission.  I look forward to working with church leaders as we seek to find the most effective ways of continually engaging the diverse communities of the UK with the gospel and look ahead to another national mission in 2026.”
