I was born into a Pentecostal Christian minister’s family as the oldest of four children but never really heard the Gospel. God saved me at the age of 14 through the wise witness of a Sunday school teacher. I came to the Doctrines of Grace at the age of 17 through the ministry of a retired Presbyterian pastor who mentored me and taught me the value of Biblical discipleship. I’m currently serving the Lord as part of the fellowship at GraceLife London, a church plant in central London (the greatest city in the world!) I’ve been heavily influenced by the ministry of John MacArthur, particularly in terms of the centrality of expository, Christ-centred preaching. Other influences would include Dr Peter Masters, Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones and Dr Arturo Azurdia III. Some of my favourite books include “The Gospel According to Jesus” by Dr MacArthur, “Preaching and Preachers” by Dr Lloyd-Jones, “Communion with God” by John Owen and “Pierced for Our Transgressions” by Steve Jeffery, Andrew Sach and Michael Ovey.

My former church took its name from yours. It was once called “Grace Reformed Baptist Church”, but is now called “Grace Life Church.” I think their pastor knows yours (or one of yours, at least). He’s a Master’s alumnus.

Probably so. GraceLife does seem to be a popular name among TMS grads. I blame Phil Johnson 😛
