Howard's Testimony

Despite being a member of a church of another denomination in my youth I did not have a true conversion experience until I was 20 and this totally changed my life. This was in HM Forces through the ministry of SASRA. On my return home, I joined the local Baptist church and am so thankful for the breadth of Christian experience and teaching I received there. This was further broadened through working in various leadership roles both within the church and the Christian Endeavour Movement and again, on moving to my present church.

On various occasions in my twenties I led worship and preached but had to give this up to take professional examinations and later business pressures prevented me pursuing this.

Following my early retirement I began to preach again and found the Baptist Union Lay Preachers Course very helpful. Subsequent events have confirmed the call to preaching to be right.

Howard's Preaching Emphasis

I have sought, through my preaching, to pass on to others the blessings I experience in my own Christian life and am ever more convinced of the reality and truth of evangelical Bible based teaching and preaching within modern or traditional worship styles.
