Rev. Glyn and Betty Thomas 

I was saved in my early teens in Doncaster Pentecostal church after attending church from the day I was born. Soon after I began preaching around the local churches and open-air meetings we held at that time. 

I went to Kenley Bible School in 1954 under the principalship of Donald Gee.  Whilst in Kenley I became involved in Radio Work from Luxemburg, a programme called revival-time featuring John Nelson Parr Upon leaving Kenley I went to Glasgow and planted a work in the Sprinburn area.

Whilst in Glasgow I met Betty who became my wife. We have been married for 50 years this Christmas Day  2007  We have worked together in the ministry ever since. We have ministered  in Glasgow. Ripon, Bollington , Grimsby and  for the last 28 years here in Poynton where we have been involved in the planting of two churches as well as Poynton. 

We have relinquished the every day running of the churches to pastors and are now involved in Overseas ministry in 15 nations of the world.We have planted a Bible school in Ghana and two churches in India.

We have established a ministry Called Light and Life. ( See website) This is a government recognised Charity. Much of our time in now spent abroad doing Seminars for ministers and preaching in Churches.We are also involve with Television work doing recordings in Los Angeles and broadcasting over eastern Europe and the middle east.  

On a personal note. It is our delight to have two of our sons in the ministry, pastoring in local assemblies of God churches. Mark in Denton, Manchester and Stephen in Bollington, Cheshire We have ten grandchildren and two great grandchildren
