Our Team
Anna Freij Make Disciples Lead
Anna leads our work to equip the Church to make disciples who make disciples. She has over 20 years experience of facilitating transformation within both individuals and organisations as a disciple-maker, a counsellor, a senior leader and consultant.
She serves the Church to fulfil its mission to put making mature disciples front and centre of all we do.
“What gets me up in the morning is a vision of Jesus apprentices being transformed into the likeness of Christ for the transformation of the world.”
Tim Sandford Director of Souster Youth
Tim is the Director of The Souster Youth Trust and supports Anna in the development and delivery of Make Disciples. He has over 20 years experience of working with churches and charities in a variety of settings, specialising in discipling young people.
Tim is married to Becky and they are kept on their toes by their wonderfully mischievous two children, Nathan and Phoebe.
“I’m excited to see more and more people discover a discipleship journey that transforms not only their lives but also the lives of those around them.”
Jason Royce Associate
After 25 years in youth ministry (including leadership roles at Youthscape and Souster Youth), Jason remains committed to discipleship of young people that engages both the realities of life today and the radical call of Jesus to lay everything down for him. He is currently studying Theology and training for Church of England ministry at Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford.
“Seeing young people come to faith and grow as disciples is still the most exciting thing for me.”
Mark Scandrette Consultant
Mark brings extensive experience facilitating spiritual formation internationally. He trains and consults with leaders and teams who want to effectively make disciples. With a background in theology, practical psychology and community health, he provides coaching and spiritual direction and teaches in the Doctoral Department at Fuller Seminary. He is the author of five books including, Practicing the Way of Jesus.
“I’m passionate about helping people apply the teachings of Christ to the messy details of everyday life by taking on practices that can help them experience healing, wholeness and a growing capacity to flow with God’s love.”
