Tony and Jenny- our story so far to July 2007
 We
met when we were in sixth form and were married three years
later. By the time we were thirty we had three children. Without
giving away the age of Jenny, they are all over 21. They are
all great and we could not hope for a better family.
It was a shock for Tony to find out in his early twenties
that Jesus is alive and that he could know him personally,
as can every one of you. Jenny had a church upbringing but
didn't follow it through for various reasons until we were
married. Indeed, we didn't know this fact until after we had
been invited to a Christmas carol service and started attending
church where Tony asked Jesus to come into his life and promised
to live his life God's way. At the same time Jenny recommitted
her life to God.
A few years ago, Tony left a long career in banking to work
in the charity sector. The experience he had gained in all
aspects of business leadership as Chairman of the Chamber
of Commerce and in banking has greatly helped him to both
understand the differing needs of charities and help them
to develop more effectively. He is presently working with
Gweini, a charity set up to provide all those working in the
Christian Voluntary sector with help in the area of representation,
networking and information, all skills that he had gained
with his previous roles.
We have thoroughly enjoyed going to Danescourt Christian
Fellowship since the church started at the end of the 1980's.
The love of God for us has been wonderful and it is also shown
to us by the warmth of the friendship we have with those attending
the church.
We have had a great time helping with children's work, leading
house groups, putting on Alpha meals, organising holidays
together, singing great songs each Sunday and a great deal
more than can ever be listed here. We both love singing and
worshipping led by a group of lively musicians every Sunday
morning and we hope you will come along to check out what
we are saying is true.
