Support Geoff Brown
Hi, I'm Geoff and I'm based in Gateshead. I am married to Sarah and we have two children, Joel and Hannah. I have worked for Scripture Union since 2002 and prior to that I was a secondary school Geography teacher for 10 years.
I work with communities and churches across the North, encouraging and equipping them to effectively share the good news with local children and young people.
With 95% of children and young people not in church, my ministry is becoming increasingly vital. Will you stand with me, helping to ensure the future impact of the good news of Jesus on the lives of the children and young people who don’t go to church. Your gift really does make a difference. Can I ask you to prayerfully consider if God is calling you to give, partnering with us financially?
Any support you can give will help ensure this ministry to 'the 95' can continue. We promise to keep you informed with our regular newsletters, which you can choose to receive by post or email.
Thank you so much for reading this.
