He is a catalyst and pioneer for youth ministry and helped launch CIY Europe in 2016. He loves to join up the dots between ministries and between Churches and has a particular call for unity across Churches.

Jasper graduated from The University of Liverpool and has a PhD in Physiology from the University of Birmingham, and also a Diploma in Applied Evangelism from York St John University.
