GARETH'S STORY

"My name is Gareth. I’m married to Lara and we have 3 amazing kids, Karis, Archie and Lily. When I am not running, reading or drinking good coffee I have the privilege of leading an amazing gathering of people in Orangefield.

5 years ago a church leader prophesied and prayed the words of Ephesians 3: 14-21 over me. I had been a Jesus follower for 25 years and working for churches for 12 of those years and yet in that moment God started to do something new and deeper within me and through me. I became overwhelmed by both the knowledge and experience of God’s love for me. But along with that love, or perhaps because of it, I became increasingly aware of the power that is available to the believer in Jesus Name. This balance of love and power, intimacy and authority has shaped my ministry ever since.

I believe that God is inviting us to be part of his family and to partner with him in releasing his Kingdom. Children of the King and carriers of the Kingdom."
