A law graduate and former investment banker, Pastor Agu was ordained a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in August 1993. He took over the role of Senior Pastor of Jesus House in April 1994, two months after the church began.

In addition, he is the chairman of the RCCG Executive Council in the UK and Ireland, chairman of the Festival of Life organising committee and a member of the council of the Evangelical Alliance. Within the Evangelical Alliance, he is particularly interested in exploring unity across ethnic lines and diversities.

Pastor Agu has a desire to see revival in the United Kingdom. His ministry is characterized by a desire to see people discover and achieve their God-given purpose in life.

As a leader of the Jesus House, he founded Mandates Men Ministries in 2000 with a burden to see men become role models in their homes, churches and society in general.

Also, we have with us Rob Parsons, the author of bestselling books, “Sixty Minute Father” and “The Money Secret”, amongst many others. Parsons, trained as a legal practitioner, left the legal field in 1988 to start Care for the Family, a charitable organization which aims to promote strong family life and to help those hurting as a result of family breakdown. Its work is hugely motivated and influenced by christian compassion. He is also an ambassador for a Christian relief organization called Tearfund.

Family life like never before, is under a lot of pressure. Recent surveys on the amount of pressure on families in Europe have shown the United Kingdom as third worst out of 27 countries. Divorce, despair, distrust and disappointment have gradually woven themselves into the fabric of family life over the years. Family values are no longer embellished in the minds of our younger generation. Care for the Family, under the leadership of Rob and his wife, Dianne has been and is a beacon of hope, support and encouragement for a lot of struggling or broken marriages, grieving family members and children in need.

Rob has addressed over 500,000 people in face-to-face events. Thousands of people have attended events, courses and family-building breaks. A lot of people have been helped through befriending networks, books and other resources. He believes that supporting families can make a real difference for the future.

Mandate men, as stakeholders of our families need to build walls of protection so that we can stand the challenging times that may arise. At the Mandate Conference, Rob Parsons will be sharing key insights on being a transformed man focusing on marriage and fatherhood.
