Amazingly, I secured a mediation contract with
the Ministry of Justice despite them knowing we
pray with our clients, and I have qualified in mediation
areas that few people of my background and age
are able to. In December 2017, I finally launched
Prime Time Child Contact Centre, a charity rooted in
Malachi 4:6, turning the hearts of the fathers to the
children and children to the Father. This volunteer
led charity provides a safe space for fathers to have
contact with their children following separation
which is for me a dream come. For those interested,
volunteers are needed at all levels of the charity!
The mission of these organisations are to restore
God’s family relationships both nuclear (the family)
and corporate (the one church family of God). With
carefully selected scriptures, such as from Proverbs,
my clients are inspired to be the best individuals
they can be by practising forgiveness and putting
first the needs, not necessarily wants, of other family
members. Yes, agape love is very difficult to practise
in the face of the way that the rights of the individual
are championed in our society, and so a loving parent
does their best to put aside the acrimony they feel
towards the other parent – enough to allow a child
to have a healthy relationship with them both. This
means not allowing that child to hear negative things
said about the other parent or not stopping contact
because insufficient maintenance is paid. In this
way, Christians show that we are giant-slayers and
do not follow what others around us do. Although I
am not married and do not yet have children, I have
been able to influence families, encouraging agape
love and forgiveness and speaking ‘life’ into the
relationship of many couples. In this way restoring
their friendships or relationships but ultimately
ensuring that, where legally safe, the child has a
relationship with their father and that parents
have a relationship with the Lord.
me for this work. I now have a primary ministry,
the direct restoring of family relationships; families
being the building blocks of the temple of God. And I
have secondary ministries such as street preaching,
evangelism, and cell leadership. In the majority of
cases, children want contact with their fathers. And
I believe that a lack of contact with a father can often
impact on their relationship with God the Father
and can lead to other types of difficulties in later life

or struggles with rejection.
Thank God that he, in his grace, is able to transcend
the earthly limitations of those who have not had
relationships with their biological fathers. You can

I remember at the age of eight my own natural
father privately asked me who I wanted to live with:
my mother or father. They were in a custody dispute.
I was unable to speak truthfully because I knew it
would hurt one parent and regardless, I wanted to
spend time with both. At every turn, my life skills,
intended or not, have been instrumental in equipping
