I am an Evangelist singer/songwriter from Northern Ireland.
My song writingskills started after I had taken my guitar to the Ukraine for mission work.Whilst playing I'm in the Lords army at a children's home a young girl who hadlooked very sad began smiling and clapping her hands as I was playing.
I remember praying on the way home and saying to the Lord that it had beenworthwhile to take the guitar all the way to the Ukraine just to bring a smileand a moment of happiness to that young girls face.
Since I came home I felt the Lord guiding me to write songs and to date I havecomposed over 210 Christian songs.
The Lord has placed songs on local radio in Northern Ireland as well as UCBIreland and radio stations in the UK ,USA ,Sweden Romania and the Philippines.The CD Thorn Upon A Rose was featured CD in the USA on Winds of PraiseBroadcasting with worldwide radio airplay.
The song Audience of One which is on the Jigsaw album was first released aspart of a compilation album called Building Bridges to raise funds for homelesscharities worldwide. Released under Thus Records with an international cast ofartistes such as Filipino artist Kichie Nadal, Vlada from Switzerland,Firefalldown (also from the Philippines), Claudia Santiago from Canada,Lebanese band Beatraid, North American hard rockers Unmasked and Honduranartists Gus n Radialband . UK artists on the CD include Andi Oakes, ThroneRoom, Liz Clarke, Joseph Beggs and Lisa Donnelly. .
Over the past 12 years I have been involved in missionary outreach to theUkraine and have visited many Orphanages, Hospitals, Churches, Prisons,Rehabilitation Centres and a Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centre as well as2 Christian Schools.
I am also involved in Events local and abroad were I have had the joy of strengtheningthe body of Christ by showing powerpoints on the movement of the Lord on themission field as well as preaching on radio worldwide and in churches in theUSA Ireland and England on revival and eternity.
As well as the Spiritual side of mission outreach I also believe inpractical Christianity and many 40 foot containers of humanitarian aid havebeen sent to the Ukraine Romania and Belarus. Containers have contained Lifesupport machines, heart monitors, Ultra Sound machines, electric beds, Hospitalbeds wheelchairs, and clothing and shoes for the orphans.
I would also love to be involved in more Church Outreach Events or EventSpeaking also Concerts festivals or Praise nights for charity or otherworthwhile causes. It was a blessing to set up the Witness Ireland tour inNorthern Ireland and have an international cast of artistes come over from theUSA and England combined with local artistes. Feedback from one church by thelead minister encouraged us all when he said that after the event the wholechurch had been revived and were now on fire for the Lord
