John Hawksworth works for Youth for Christ overseeing its local ministries in the North of England, Scotland… and Wales! He has been in full-time youth ministry for over 25 years with a wide experience of running events, youth groups, schools work and leadership training. He loves hearing stories of young people whose lives have been impacted by realising how much God loves them.

John is an MA graduate of Cliff College. He is a volunteer helper for his local church specialising with 11-14s and is often ‘wheeled out’ for some high-energy kids worship! He is married to Liz, has three children and lives in Whitley Bay – but remains a long-suffering Derby County fan.
