Simon Genoe
Leader of New Wine Ireland
Hi there I'm Simon Genoe, husband to Zara, dad to Eliza and Isaac, and a servant of King Jesus! As well as leading New Wine, I am minister of a local church, Magheralin Parish. My vision for the local church is about being deep and wide - deeply in love with the Lord, deep in encountering the power of Holy Spirit, being deeply changed into His likeness - leading us to share the Gospel widely in the power of the Holy Spirit! Through inspiring gatherings, training days, resourcing churches and their leaders, we are believing that the local church will change the nation! Please jump on and join in with this vision!
