Andy Milne – Team Leader |
|
Steffen Seiler – Strategic Lead 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. |
