The Real Gold Diggers Part 1

Season 1, Ep. 39

In this two part series we talk to married couple Simon and Ally Jarvis about life, dating, ministry, parenting and pranks that go too far. Today we meet one half of the dynamic duo as we hear about Simons life as a church planter and his rather unique gift of what can only be described as ‘a conductor of people’. A unique and extraordinary talent for finding the gold in others and releasing them into their most purposeful future. Now operating on a national level, raising and appointing leaders of the AOG network within the UK where he currently lives. Simon loves life and believes his best days are still ahead of him. He is the Founder of One Church Network in Uk and Zimbarbwe and resides in Gloucester with wife Ally and two adult children Jack and Abby. They join us in the studio while currently holidaying on the Sunshine Coast with Ang and her family. This is an inspiring and funny story that will turn you off cornflakes for life.
