Meet the Team

Andy Milne – Team Leader of MYCN		Steffen Seiler – Development Officer North
Andy Milne is married to Tracy, has a son named Sam and a dog called Dude! Andy is a Church Army Evangelist who began pioneering Sorted with his wife Tracy. Beginning as a youth church, often reaching teens from deprived areas; Sorted grew and eventually multiplied as new youth fresh expressions were started. Young adult and young family groups followed as teens turned into twenties. ‘By young people, for young people’ has become a way to describe how young people increasingly get involved in Sorted’s teamwork (with the support of adults) often becoming leaders themselves as they reach young adulthood. Andy wrote ‘The DNA of Pioneer Ministry’ with Mike Moynagh to tell the story and help others learn from what has happened so they might begin a fresh expression themselves. Contact Andy here		Steffen joined the MYCN team in May 2022. Originally from Germany, he moved with his family to the UK in 2019. He's been a part of a pastoral team in a church in Germany and Bradford before his current role. He has studied Theology and works part time for a charity called ROOTED IN in Allerton (one of the council estates in Bradford). His passion is to see young people's lives transformed, by the power of the Holy Spirit and he has a huge heart to bring the Gospel to people and groups that have never heard of it. He loves to spend time with his family, is a whiskey connoisseur and supports Liverpool football club with all his heart. Contact Steffen here
