I have known Lex for approximately twenty years. His passion for Jesus is, if anything, more infectious now than when I first met him. Spending this twenty minutes or so with him left me wanting to tell more people about Jesus. I suspect that if you pour yourself a coffee, pull up a chair, and join us, you will feel the same.<\/p>\n

We spent some time together speaking about how he came to be an evangelist who travels to many countries sharing the good news alongside local churches. He said that his involvement with Jubilee Church Cape Town<\/a> for many years (he is one of the elders there) has been vital for his ministry. Lex has a blog which focuses on church history<\/a>. He is passionate about bringing reformed theology, a respect for the great events of church history, and a love for the unchanging gospel of the Bible together with evangelistic zeal, faith, and an expectation of the miraculous presence of Jesus. It\u2019s a great recipe, in my opinion!<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/vimeo.com\/4755654<\/a>\n
