Glynis was born in Wales then as a military wife, she lived in Hong Kong and Germany. She had always been a churchgoer but committed her life to Christ in Germany in 1978. A year later Glynis and her husband Ray joined the Salvation Army, the day before they left for the third posting to Hong Kong. This time was so different, meeting missionaries, visiting the famous walled city, and meeting Christians from different countries.
The Lord called them to work full time in His service and they were amazed at the doors He opened. The Falklands war meant a change of plans.
In 1990 Glynis went to Saudi Arabia as a British Aerospace wife she can assure you she did not cause the war! They ran a fellowship with Bible Studies, Alpha, and weekly service for 10 years.

Glynis says “Life as a Christian is never predictable and there is no retirement plan.”
