Abi lives in South Oxfordshire with her husband and their four children.  She works part-time as a physiotherapist, and enjoys being outdoors: dog-walking, running and standing on the sidelines or towpath while her children do sport.  Abi is involved with the children’s ministry at her church in Henley, and has previously been involved in youth work.  She loves to build connections and see people supported in living for Jesus whatever their stage or situation in life.

Andrew is passionate about equipping and encouraging men and women in full-time gospel ministry in the UK and beyond. He teaches New Testament and Greek at Oak Hill College in North London, but is very familiar with Henley and the surrounding area, having previously been a curate in Trinity Church, Henley, and a Junior Research Fellow at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, where he also completed a DPhil in New Testament Studies.

They are active members of their local church, and are both interested in supporting and encouraging biblical and joyful church music. Andrew’s hobbies include guitar, coffee roasting, and book-binding.
