Morning Bible Study Speakers - Jon and Jo Soper
Jon and Jo live in Exeter, Devon where they love walking across Dartmoor, cold water swimming followed by hot coffee, and wondering what God might be doing next!
They started Exeter Network Church 19 years ago and have sent people off to plant 4 other churches since then.
They love enabling the church to be on mission in their city, to live lives fuelled by the power of the Spirit, and be shaped by the Scriptures.
They enjoy delving into the Bible and teaching others to read it well. Their goal is to see people changed as the Spirit brings the Scriptures to life.
‘We are really thrilled to be joining you at New Wine Ireland next summer, and looking forward to all God is going to do among us’.
