Along with his wife, Moira, Paul was the pastor of Elim Pentecostal churches in Northern Ireland, Eire and England for about 25 years.

For some time they sensed that God was leading them to leave the pastoral ministry and to allow Him to guide them in a different way. It was going to be a big step for them as they had no job and no means of support. But then, through events out of their own control, the doors closed on them continuing in the pastoral ministry. So now they had to rely totally on the Lord.

Paul took qualifications to teach other people to drive, as a means of supporting the family. There were times he had to ask people to stop praying for pupils to teach as he had too many to take! Such was God's goodness. But it was all part of learning to trust upon God.

Later, as Paul was writing a letter to a friend, God showed him what had happened. He revealed that they were like young eagles in the nest. When it was time for the eaglets to fly and they were unwilling, the mother eagle would break up the nest and force them into the air. If the young eagles had difficulty in flying, then the mother would dive underneath them and carry them on her wings (Deuteronomy 32:11). It was God who had closed the door on continuing in pastoral ministry at that time, and He was teaching Paul and Moira to rely upon him and not look to anyone else. Without knowing what was going on in Paul's life, someone prophesied over him that he had a message to give, and that he was going to soar on wings like eagles.

Paul's main ministry is teaching. Over the years, people joined the church, where he was pastoring, to hear him teach. So he started some Bible Studies and put them into booklets so others could benefit from them. It has always been his heart to help people develop an intimate relationship with God.

Moira's ministry is music and prophetic intercession. With some friends, a music ministry began. Songs are composed and recorded onto CDs along with a short message from Paul, and these CDs are distributed free in the UK and three other countries. In 2007, this ministry was called Kingdom Lifestyle Ministries, but as the ministry has developed, we changed the name to "Upon Eagles Wings." The aim is to help people come into a place where they can "soar on wings like eagles." (Isaiah 40:31.)
