What They Say
You may be encouraged to read what others have said about 6:19:
"The GOOD NEWS of JESUS CHRIST needs to be proclaimed more effectively. So I am delighted by this new initiative in evangelism and the service that 6:19 can offer the church during this opportune and fertile season"
J.John (International evangelist)
"Simon took the initiative in launching the New Wine Network for Sussex in 2004 and has an undoubted passion to see the church renewed and encouraged. I am delighted to offer my support to 6:19 and the ministry that Simon is offering to the church."
John Coles (Director of New Wine)
"Simon has a real passion for evangelism and speaks with loving authority as one who knows Christ. He was a much loved pastor in Ardingly, and I want very much to lend my encouragement and support as he makes himself available in the Lord's service in this new and exciting way."
Rt Revd Lindsay Urwin, (Bishop of Horsham)
"Simon has a real gift for evangelism and a great love for people. He communicates in a down-to-earth and challenging way. He has an awareness of human situations and needs, and helps people to think without feeling threatened."
Revd Kenneth Habershon (formerly with CYFA and CPAS and now Sec of the Church Patronage Trust)
Lee Abbey Holidays
"The talks you gave were appreciated enormously by the guests. I lost count of the number of times that they were touched by your willingness to be vulnerable and by your sense of humour."
Revd Bob Payne (Warden of Lee Abbey, Devon 1994-2002)
"Just a quickie to thank you both for giving us your best shot every day. Valerie and I are pretty case-hardened when it comes to talks (3 years at Lee Abbey and 10 with Post Green) and you got us there every day! It really is a wonderful gift to capture interest and avoid boredom."
Revd Ken Ramsay

Songs Of Praise
"On behalf of all who came to the Songs of Praise, may I thank you so much for coming on Sunday evening. Your talk was just right and quite a few people said that you had given them something to think about and enjoyed the evening. It was the best one we have had to date so thank you."
Revd Chris Doherty, St Luke's Church, Seaford June 2007
Church Weekend
"Simon led our church weekend. It was undoubtedly a turning point in our life together. Clear and relevant teaching, an evident passion for Jesus, openness to God, and a sense of humour allied to a prophetic edge. Ordinary folk were encouraged, strengthened and challenged in their following of Christ."
Revd Gary Simmons (Rector of Slaugham)
