James and Lucy moved to central Johannesburg in 2014. James is the senior minister at Hope Church Auckland Park: a vibrant and diverse congregation with huge potential for growth. Lucy heads up the SoulCare pastoral care ministry at Hope Church and is involved with Biblical Counselling Africa. They have four children: Sam, Hannah, Sophie and Rachel.

James and Lucy (and the church) have a particular desire to reach out to the 70,000 students within walking distance of the church, and to train up future ministry workers and church leaders. They are also committed to church planting, in the local area and further afield.
