Steve Tibbert

Steve Tibbert has led King’s Church London for 25 years. The church has grown in both size and diversity over that time and now has four sites in South-East London. He is the author of Good to Grow, a book about the importance of church growth, using many examples (and mistakes) from King’s.

Steve has been involved in serving the Newfrontiers family in the UK for a couple of decades – whether that has been in youthwork, leadership training, or overseeing a number of churches in London and the UK. He has been involved in training church leaders in the UK and overseas. Prior to taking on his role leading the Newfrontiers Together Team, Steve served the Newfrontiers apostolic fellowship with a facilitating role in the UK. In recent years he has also worked closely with David Devenish and the Newfrontiers Board.

Steve and his wife Deb have recently visited different spheres within the Newfrontiers apostolic fellowship: Scott & Claire Marques in Zimbabwe, Lee & Stacey Yarborough in Mexico, Brian & Rachel Mowrey in the USA, Andrey & Natasha Bondarenko in Ukraine, Edward & Fridah Buriah in Kenya and Joseph & Lily Mwila in Zambia. In the future they hope to make further visits to the Russian-speaking world and Armenia, amongst others.

Steve and Deb have been married for over 30 years. They have three grown-up sons and one grandson.

David Devenish

David is based in Bedford, UK and is an elder at Woodside Church. He is married to Scilla; they have four children and currently seven grandchildren.

Since 2000 until fairly recently, David had been working primarily in the Russian-speaking world and overseeing the planting of churches in the part of the world know as the 10/40 window. He also took on the leadership of Catalyst and served within the UK and also amongst the many churches that the Catalyst team serve in other nations. In June 2017 David passed on the leadership of Catalyst to Simon Holley.

From 2012-2020 David led the Newfrontiers Together Team which facilitates all that Newfrontiers continues to do together through collaboration, interdependence and mutual accountability between apostolic leaders. At Global 2020 he handed over that leadership role to Steve Tibbert, although he will remain on the Newfrontiers Together Team.

Part of David’s role in international ministry has caused him to study how we send people into different cultures and contexts. As a result he has developed teaching on a range of cultural and contextualisation issues which he frequently presents training on. He is also seeking to coach and develop many other apostolic ministries around the world. David has also represented Newfrontiers to other apostolic networks and movements with whom we have good and fruitful relationships.

Before working in Christian ministry, David worked as a civil servant for the British Government in international trade negotiations and one of the highlights of this job included being part of the first United Nations working party on the debt problems of developing countries. Following that he started working in international banking where again he was providing project finance into parts of Africa and Eastern Europe. All of this contributed to his heart for the nations that he still has to this day.
