Charles is a 64-year-old South African-born journalist living in
Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. He has followed the Lord for over
40 years and, though having worked mainly in the secular press, has also
launched several Christian publications.
Having
taken early retirement from his regular job as a sports editor, he is
now working for CMJ (the Church's Ministry among the Jewish people), a
204-year-old Anglican mission whose founders include the legendary
William Wilberforce and who now also have a growing presence in the
USA. Recently in Jerusalem he met one of the key leaders in America
(from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania). His link with CMJ goes back to his
early days as a believer when he was charged with the responsibility of
writing to missionaries then working among the Falasha Jews of Ethiopia.
His new work is still in communications, specifically editing the
mission's quarterly Prayer Focus for supporters and helping to prepare
for a unique conference in Jerusalem this May focused on deepening the
bonds of reconciliation between Arab & Jewish
believers throughout the Middle East. “I
have had a heart for Israel for a long time. But three years ago, while
reading Isaiah, I felt strongly impressed to be a ‘Helper of Israel’.
So here I am, ready to help.”
Charles has just published Israel the Chosen
(available from Amazon), is married to Linda, 56, who teaches
Christianity and Judaism in primary schools, and has four children and
seven grandchildren.
