James, you’ve just taken over as Regional Leader for Scotland and the North West of England. What does the role involve?
It’s overseeing pastors and around 75 churches in those areas and helping to advance what Elim is doing there.
What excites you about the role?
It’s an amazing opportunity to be given responsibility for these churches and for two significant geographical areas. You feel a sense of privilege, responsibility and opportunity. We have many capable people who are hungry for God and for him to do something in our nation. It's going to be exciting to see how God touches people’s hearts, brings about new things, helps us strengthen existing things and how he extends his kingdom in Scotland and the North West.
