New Director General for the Evangelical Alliance UK
8 Jan 2009
I’m on the council of the Evangelical Alliance UK, and got a heads up earlier this week, about the announcement that came out in public today, that Steve Clifford is new EA UK Director General.
When the EA were looking for a new director I thought what a tough role for someone, with the current situation of the church in the UK, and the challenges evangelicals face.
I must admit when I heard the news, I thought what a superb choice. In my interactions with Steve over the last few years, he has impressed me as someone who is a strong leader, highly relational, widely respected and deeply connected across the church. He’s also someone who will find a lot of support on the ground, from all the real world ministries he so extensively involved in.
In short a top choice for a demanding role, and I’m sure he’ll bring energy, momentum and direction. His appointment has got me excited about the possible directions for the EA UK.
It’s a very high profile appointment, with the Telegraph Newspaper carry it, and you can read their piece and comment in here.

As a former EA Council member, may I extend my congratulations to Steve Clifford on his appointment. I continue serving as a lecturer in Mission & Evangelism (in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe)and my experience on EA Council in the past helps me considerably in doing my job well. We will continue to pray for God’s wisdom and direction as Steve takes this job on.
