I am here for Friends

About Me

Married, one child. That didn't work out so I married a grown woman instead. I was born in Salford, raised in Salford and even went to University in Salford. Then in a moment of madness me and my wife Esther moved Down South to a place called Watford. It was the best place to go in the South because it's only 2 letters different to Salford. We actually loved it there but soon came to our senses and moved back to Salford, to start a church called Langworthy Community Church. Now my son Daniel is one, me and Esther are in our 30s(!) and life is flipping great.

My Interests

Manchester United, theology, occasionally playing drums, finding ways to entertain Daniel.

I'd like to meet:

George Muller, Hudson Taylor

Music:

My friends Pete and Rach are currently educating me in the ways of 'good music' as I used to only have CDs by worship leaders, but now I've ventured into the realms of Snow Patrol, Jack Johnson and John Mayer and am quite enjoying them! Of course my favourite albums are the 2 by the legendary Heat Band - Can I see heaven and Is it any wonder. Soon to be released by Heat - a collection of 'B' sides entitled 'Bobbins' and subtitled 'Songs from the crypt'

Movies:

Dodgeball, Airplane, The Intelligence Men, Star Wars (Original Trilogy)

Television:

Soccer AM

Books:

Anything by NT Wright, Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell, Eat this book by Eugene Peterson, the biographies of Keith Green, George Muller, Hudson Taylor and John Wimber. Also I just read The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne which was really interesting and inspiring.

Heroes:

My parents - Joycey Lane and big Malc
