For June we have Paul Springate as our guest speaker.

Now retired from formal ministry, Paul started his working life in industry, working for textile manufacturers where he was trained in the four areas of manufacture, finance, sales and administration, giving him a rounded understanding of life in general! He worked in the sales area for 13 years before, with the help of his local curate, he became a Christian. Involved in the local church he was starting to be used in service leading, preaching and administration leading to a call to ordained ministry. Ordained in 1983 he served his curacy in Plymouth, for 4 years; was a team Vicar in Leicestershire for 10 years before becoming the Warden at the Harnhill Centre of Christian Healing, which he led with his wife Bryony for 17 years before retiring.

He now continues to lead church weekends, teach courses on healing and ministers in the local churches, along with being the local Police Chaplain.
