Believers changing the world

Nigel Double has worked in supporting church Leaders for decades.  He divides his time between helping pioneer Bridge Community Church in Ipswich (a new church plant which, like us in CLC, is affiliated with Plumbline) supporting Christian members of Paliment in London, and ministering in Tanzania.  Here in CLC we are blessed by Nigel's wisdom as he supports the Oversight Leadership team behind the scenes.

Believers who change the world Acts 17:6-7

"These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also, and Jason has received them to his house and privately protected them! And they are all ignoring and acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, actually asserting that there is another king, one Jesus!"
