In 1988, while driving alone down a quiet country lane, Simon Lambourne had a life-changing encounter with Jesus. In that moment, he welcomed the Lord into his life, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and experienced true freedom for the first time. That encounter transformed everything.

Simon went on to serve in leadership, preaching, and worship leading in his local Baptist church – even leading worship for the renowned German evangelist Reinhard Bonnke at a UK rally. In 1997, Simon felt God call him to return to the “coalface of life,” stepping into a successful career in sales, eventually becoming Sales Director at a Shropshire recruitment firm.

But ministry never left his heart. In 2014, Simon accepted a call to pastor a local Baptist church, where he served faithfully until 2023. Now retired and living in beautiful North Wales, Simon continues to serve the wider body of Christ through the Maranatha Community, occasionally leading worship at their events.

A lover of Indian food and a regular at the gym, Simon brings a rich blend of life experience, spiritual wisdom, and a heart fully surrendered to Jesus.

We can’t wait to hear what God has placed on Simon’s heart to share with us!
