Sobre el autor
For twenty years Paul and Liz lived as expatriates in South Africa, Bahrain and Japan. While Paul pursued his career as a chemical engineer with an international oil company, Liz, who trained as a primary school teacher, was a full-time mother bringing up their two children as well as being involved in many Christian activities and a volunteer telephone counseling service. A growing desire to serve the Lord led Paul to resign his job and enroll for a three-year Bible College course back in England. They became involved with Ellel Ministries in 1991 as part of the ministry team. They joined the full-time team at Ellel Grange in 1995. Paul is a member of the Executive Leadership team, and both Paul and Liz teach and minister to those seeking healing in their lives.
