Sharing the Gospel
in word and song.

Paul

Paul’s distinguished career includes being the award-winning lead singer of Manfred Mann, now The Manfreds, whose hits include Do Wah Diddy and Pretty Flamingo, and The Blues Band. He has recently worked on new albums with both groups.

His collection of gold discs includes one for the original Evita. Millions listen to him on Radio 2 and elsewhere, and on television he has hosted talk shows and performed everything from Shakespeare to soaps. His extensive stage credits range from the Royal National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company to the West End and Broadway.

Fiona

Fiona was an accomplished actress and singer before entering into ministry. She has worked in many areas of show business, from her acclaimed television series Widows, for which she won Personality of the Year Award, to leading roles at the Royal National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Fiona has starred in a number of West End productions and has sung on many show recordings. She shares a couple of gold discs with Paul.

Together

Together they have recorded several CDs celebrating the work of composers from Irving Berlin to Andrew Lloyd Webber. Their Gospel album Personal has been very well received, with songs expressing their love for their Heavenly Father and for each other.

Salvation

The anointed minister who brought the powerful message of salvation through Jesus that night was Luis Palau.

Our Vision

We long for people everywhere to know the glorious, unconditional love of Almighty God. Having had a wonderful encounter with Him ourselves that has been utterly life-changing, we desire very much to share our experience with as many people as possible.

Human beings long to know that they are loved, that they are special and that they have a great purpose on this earth. God wants that for us too. Through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, He has made it possible for people all over this earth to live an abundant life.

Success can be deceiving and it’s easy to think that material wealth and high positions in society are all that will bring a person great fulfilment. God is not against people doing well, but to live a life of true abundance is first to recognise the One who made us: God Almighty.

We are not a mistake. We were created on purpose by a loving God who longs to have a forever friendship with us. He wants to be our Heavenly Father and so He sent Jesus to make that possible.

Jesus died on a cross to take upon Himself everything that would destroy human beings: our grief and sorrow, our sin and shame, everything we wish we had never done, every torment and failure, even our sickness and disease and lack of peace.

Such is the glorious love with which God in Heaven loves us. We can know His complete forgiveness and mercy, His grace (undeserved favour) and healing in every area of our lives. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS ASK, and that’s when real forever success begins.

We desire to take this glorious message of love to everyone that will hear. “Today, if you would hear His voice and when you hear it, do not harden your hearts.” Hebrews 4:7

Gospel Outreach

Outreach is what we tend to do more often. We love to bring presentations of the Gospel and intersperse the sharing of the word with anointed Gospel songs, humour and moving illustrations.

The Lord has given us a number of powerful ways to bring the good news, but sharing our stories of faith in testimony is still one of our favourites. Certainly if we visit a Church for the first time, this would usually be how we would present the Gospel, unless asked otherwise.

Where do we minister?

Ministry abroad includes Romania, Albania, Moldova, Australia, USA and The Falkland Islands, where we saw the Lord heal a woman with terminal cancer. This was the first time we saw a miracle at such a level.

In churches, hotels, stadiums, coffee-shops, theatres, on God-TV and other television networks around the world, in fact anywhere we are asked to bring His word, we are constantly in awe, watching the Holy Spirit save people and heal those in need.

Testimony

Paul and Fiona’s testimony is humorous, but compassionate. Paul came to faith from a background of intellectual arrogance; in 1968 he argued against Billy Graham with Cliff Richard on television, and he was convinced he had won the argument. Yet all his immense success in show business could not remedy the failure within himself.

Fiona sought God from an early age, thinking that she was a Christian, but was surrounded by deception, including spiritualists and mediums. She also struggled with rejection, longing for a father's love. She too hoped that success in show business would bring her fulfilment and healing. How wrong they both were! Their testimony tells how each of them found true happiness and real faith. As they bring their testimony, they sing songs from their album, and the Gospel message is clearly explained.

Marriage

Paul and Fiona also offer a session on how to be blessed in marriage, as Christians. They have now been married for well over 30 years, and are often asked to speak specifically about their life together. This is a delightful and inspiring event with a message much needed in today’s world.

The fruit we share

It is so thrilling to see God drawing people to Himself, in every meeting people are wonderfully saved. It is difficult to choose from the many testimonies, but we’ve picked a couple.

We remember an event in Grimsby where God moved very powerfully. After the meeting we were able to talk to some of the people who had received Jesus; one was a little boy of eight who had been sitting on the front row, brought by his eleven year old friend.

We had been concerned that the evening had been too grown up for them, but not at all: this young life came enthusiastically to the front, and with wide eyes said, “I’ve just prayed for Jesus to come into my heart”. The same night, a dear man who told us he was eighty years old wept as he admitted that the older generation were stubborn, and set in their ways: “How I wish I’d received Jesus years ago”, he said.

Whilst on a mission to the Falkland Islands, we met a lady who spoke to us in tears after the meeting. She had been battling with cancer for a long time, and had been in great pain. Sitting in the front row, she cried in agony, and was contemplating leaving, but was too embarrassed to get up in full view of everybody.

As she sat there, the pain began to go, until it was completely gone. Thrilled and moved by the power of God, she told us she must have been healed. Three days later, the same dear lady returned, joyfully declaring that she had been playing with her children all week, doing things that had been impossible for her for months.

She said, “When you get back to England, please tell people what Jesus has done for me”. Relationships restored, His peace, joy and unconditional love received, to God be all the glory for ever!
