One of the UK’s most loved and popular evangelists, Terry has been described as
a tonic: humorous, high energy, yet still vulnerable and relational. Using the
strong gift of encouragement placed in him, Terry shares the full Gospel message
that has so radically changed him: a miraculous testimony of healing and total
redemption from brokenness, severe drug addiction & crime. This transformation
has seen him become a graduate of and speaker at two bible colleges, further
rising to become a CEO within the Christian charity and media sector,
influencing and helping thousands worldwide. Terry is a creative communicator
with an instant appeal that transcends all cultures, people groups &
denominations. His much-appreciated art of motivational faith, coupled with deep
insight, helps people to discover (or rediscover) their God-given purpose and
spiritual vitality! His manner is at once humorous, friendly & and deeply
impacting – and opens the door to life, salvation and healing, in a
demonstration of the incredible power of the Spirit. He is also an Ambassador
for Compassion UK. JILL Terry’s wife and partner in life, Jill, is a source of
strength and inspiration to all Terry is and has accomplished, and she often
sings when accompanying Terry on speaking engagements. They come as a great
team! Jill loves chocolate, music, and fashion – working as a stylist for some
of the world’s leading brands, dressing the housewife to the celebrity! She is
also an accomplished worship leader, singer, song-writer and author. Alongside
Terry’s testimony of complete transformation, Jill has her own, different
testimony. Having watched her parents’ heartache as her older brother suffered
tragically under the effects of extreme bullying from a young age, and the
dependency that this created in him, Jill determined early in life to be
completely independent – a burden to no one and reliant on nobody. This led to
unrealistic perfectionistic tendencies and incredible pressure during her
twenties. It was not until Jill was in her thirties that she was able to make
the paradigm shift to be free of the intensity of perfectionism, leaning into
the wisdom of Psalm 138: Psalm 138:8 (AMPC) 8 The Lord will perfect that which
concerns me; Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, endure forever—forsake not
the works of Your own hands. What a relief it is to realise that it is the Lord
who perfects, not us!!! We can only truly please God by having faith in Him, not
by how perfect we try to be. Jesus finished all, accomplished all, at the cross,
so that now, as the writer of Hebrews declared, we can “fearlessly and
confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God’s
unmerited favour to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures]
and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and
well-timed help, coming just when we need it].” (Hebrews 4:16Amplified Bible,
Classic Edition (AMPC)) Both Terry & Jill are ordained by RMI and hold RMI
Ministerial Association. In 2018 both Terry & Jill received Honorary PhD
Doctorates in Christian Ministry from Excel Christian University for over 20
years of Ministry, Leadership, Service & authoring many books & musical
publications. One of the UK’s most loved and popular evangelists, Terry has been
