Local leader

My name is Philip Tory, and I live in Gloucester about a mile from the city centre. In response to someone asking me about my background, here's a brief outline. But I hate laying out my credentials and don't want this to appear boastful.

  • I became a Christian about 23 years ago.
  • I started my training as a C. of E. Lay Reader about 20 years ago.
  • I have been a Lay Preacher ever since - mainly in Baptist Churches, some free evangelical churches, and others.
  • I was baptised at Cirencester Baptist Church way back when.
  • I am a member of Brunswick Baptist Church in Gloucester.
  • I expect to be joining the West of England Baptist Association (WEBA) list of Lay Preachers.
  • I was on the Healing Ministry Team for 8 years at Harnhill, up to about 10 years ago.
  • I was the Local Area Representative for Mission Aviation Fellowship for the last 3 years.
  • I have been on 2 short evangelistic missions to Kenya, and another to the Ukraine.
  • Many years ago, I studied Physics, Electronics and Control Engineering at university level, and I have diplomas in Marketing and Management.
  • I have been an electronics engineer; I was in Sales for 20 years or more, and then a Software Product and QA manager for 3 years.
  • Since 2000 I have run a small but successful business as a Technical Author, writing technical manuals and creating software help guides for companies that want a professional job done, and something that people can understand. I now have over a hundred customers in about 15 different countries, some as far away as USA, India and Australia.

Well, that's enough about me. I wonder what your story is?
