He is now director of RiverTree, an organisation he set up in 2018 to catalyse, cultivate and collaborate to enable fruitfulness in the mission of God. One of those collaborations is with Fresh Expressions to support resourcing within the movement, but he also serves regionally as a Baptist Mission Enabler and nationally as one of three Pioneer Ambassadors in the Baptist Union of Great Britain. He co-authored the book ‘Big Hearted: the gospel of simple words and a large heart’, and recently moved to March in north Cambridgeshire where he is beginning to pioneer an environmentally focussed Christian community.

Josh Barker
Intern
Josh is our intern. He grew up in the Salvation Army where he learned about the importance of the Church being in the community and is excited about what the future will bring.
He recently completed a Master’s degree researching the impact of flexible working on men. He is really excited about the opportunity to connect with others and walk with people on their journey with Jesus. During the pandemic, he started a blog to encourage others in their discipleship journey. It was also an outlet to help him turn the negative issues in his life into positives.
