God says, ‘I am going to transform the reputation by which Essex is known.’
Paul Manwaring
‘Be Boudacious’ – in the spirit of Queen Boudica who refused to be subject to occupying forces in this region nor to be defined by shame.
Jules Loveland
Generational legacy is in his heart, not a vision that rises and fades; the transforming power of Essex will be us conformed to his love and loving Essex his way; develop strategic relationships and partnerships; bring those whose sphere of influence is a key area of the community together; find the spiritual Mums and Dads who can support and input to the journey; Essex needs to be given back its heavenly identity; it is a culture internal and external and not activity alone, that will transform Essex.
