Phil and Sharon live in Shanklin, a beautiful seaside town on the Isle of Wight. Phil works as a full-time Chaplain for St Mary’s Hospital and Sharon is recently retired from a career in Adult Social Care. As a ministry couple they both serve and support, through preaching and leading, churches around the Island.

Phil spent many years in senior management positions in the Middle East working in Dubai and Oman and it was in 2003 that he miraculously encountered Jesus, literally “in the desert”. From that moment God turned what was a very nominal belief in God to a totally “all-in”, passionate and genuine loving relationship with Jesus. “Life was never the same”.

Sharon’s journey to Christ is similar to Phil’s, in 2020, during the COVID crisis, she had a radical encounter with Jesus and committed herself to fully and wholeheartedly to follow Him. Both have inspirational testimonies to the amazing and undeserved transformational power and grace of God.

Phil and Sharon have an active and fulfilling ministry together and are looking forward to meeting and sharing with those enjoying their Richmond holiday. Between them, they have 5 adult children and enjoy spending time together, seeking God’s will.
