About

Chris’ parents, Peter and Phyllida, founded Ffald y Brenin. Chris has been deeply involved from the very beginning. For him, at its very heart, Ffald y Brenin is all about restoration of the soul. Knowing your value and your true identity results in a fresh freedom for what God plans next for you.

Chris used to lead the Trussell Trust and spearheaded the development of the foodbank network in the UK. Before that Chris spent twenty years in public service in a number of Chief Executive roles in the NHS and the Police. At heart Chris is a social entrepreneur who’s launched over twenty organisations.

Anne’s passion as the director of Local Houses of Prayer (LHOP) is to cultivate the presence of God in communities and to see the kingdom breaking in power across the nations.  Anne has trained people from the UK and around the world in how to establish a Local House of Prayer, and the training resources she has developed have been translated into over 20 languages. 

Anne is qualified as an engineer and worked for 18 years as a director of Cygnet. She has lived and worked in India, Malawi and Tanzania, Mozambique and Senegal.  Anne served 10 years on the main board of Tearfund and is currently on the UK board of Mission India and The Wall of Answered Prayer.

Anna is passionate about seeing the whole of Wales awakened spiritually once again, and has a particular heart for what God wants to do in and through the Welsh speaking community. This has been burning in her heart for about 20 years, and it is her conviction that what happens in Wales has significance for the nations.
