| Over the years Davey and the Lakeshore Team have visited schools regularly, sharing testimony and faith in a way that young people can relate to. We have developed good relationships with many schools over the years across a wide spectrum of educational facilities. We regularly go into inner city, state run schools as well as some of the top private establishments. The young people enjoy the visits and are always eager to attend whatever the programme is. A typical visit would be an assembly followed by Davey and the team taking R.E lessons with an occasional after school event, though we are flexible to accommodate for the needs of the school. During the course of a typical R.E lesson, Davey usually shows the 15 minute version of Gangland to God, then he shares for a few minutes before asking another of the team to share their testimony, these sessions usually conclude with a question and answer time. These are excellent sessions and allow the young people to question Davey and the team on a wide range of social issues and topics which are relevant to their lives and personal development. |

| For many years now Davey and the Lakeshore team have led hundreds, if not thousands, of prisoners to Christ in prisons all over the UK as well as abroad. Davey has ministered in some of the country's most notorious prisons to some of the most notorious and violent men. We have seen the power of God move mightily behind prison walls with many prisoners saved and slain under the power of the Holy Spirit. Because of Davey's past history many prisoners knew him or of him and those who didn't could totally relate to his story. In Scotland's most notorious prison Barlinnie, over sixty men surrendered their lives to Jesus after hearing Davey's story - some of |

| I first met Davey when he spoke at HMP Dovegate Mission in the autumn of 2006 when many men responded to his message by committing their lives to Christ. I could see that Davey had an exciting ministry - with real results - and we were witnessing the 'fruit' of that ministry. Davey reaches the unsaved in a very direct way His gritty story of how he had lived prior to becoming a Christian totally connects with prisoners. He speaks to them in a way that the general chaplaincy could not possibly do and then takes them on a journey straight to the foot of the cross. I invited him to Rye Hill prison in 2008. At Rye Hill, he brought tears to my eyes as I saw the move of the Holy Spirit that I had been praying for - it was awesome! Not one person, including the chaplains, left that afternoon without having experienced the anointing of the Holy Spirit. There was one point when I remember looking around and thinking, 'Am I the only one standing?' The officers on duty were talking about it later saying 'There's a man up there who is 'blowing' the prisoners over!' When we had full immersion baptisms later that year, Davey himself carried them out, and we had an opportunity for more of his outstanding ministry. Davey is one of God's willing servants, a really humble man, and a real pleasure to have in our prisons today. Rev Sandie Hicks, Chaplaincy Team - HMP Dovegate & HMP Ryehill |

"I've had the privilege of hearing Davey speak in our chapel at HMP Ashfield twice now. Both times Davey was able to
communicate in a way that had the young men in our prison absolutely transfixed. The story of his life and how God turned
it round is an amazing testimony. He hasn't only got a story to tell however, Davey has a really powerful healing ministry. We
have had most of the chapel come forward for prayer when Davey has spoken, and that has included officers! If you like a
nice safe service dont invite Davey! If you want to see God At work changing lives then I cant recommend him highly
enough.

| them had known him from the past. The staff as well as the prisoners fell under the power of God as the Holy Spirit hit the chapel. The same happened in Maghaberry Top Security Prison in Northern Ireland as well as many other prisons all over the UK. We have seen top drug dealers, gangsters, hit men, former paramilitaries, coup leaders and assassins surrender all to Jesus. This ministry is able to reach those who are considered to be unreachable. We also see the same results in the Youth Offenders Institutions seeing many young men turning from their lives of crime and finding a better path in Christ. We have many testimonies of men who were led to Christ over ten years ago and who are still following the right path - some are even running churches now! In 2006 Davey went in to Dovegate Prison, Staffordshire with some of the GOD TV Team for a weeks mission with the chaplaincy team. That week over 150 men surrendered to Jesus. There is a link below.
