Event details

Hosted by: Hilary McClay

Worship leader: Jude Frame

Speakers: Jude Cairns and Becky Harcourt

Jude Cairns

Jude is CEO of Love For Life. Their vision is: Every young person valuing themselves, relationships and sex in a thriving society.  Married to Des and members of Lisburn Cathedral, they have two “children”, Matthew (24) and Beth (21). She would say that she has always believed in God, but there was a moment at CSSM, when she was 13 that she wanted to be His friend. Today she is trying to not only believe in Him, but to believe Him more and more in her day-to-day life. Jude is in her happy place at the beach, dabbling in anything crafty or around the table with good food, and friends or family.

Becky Harcourt

Becky leads alongside her husband, Paul, at All Saints’ Woodford Wells in NE London, and is on SOMA’s National Leadership Team as well as being an Open Doors and New Wine Ambassador.  She enjoys teaching, mentoring and generally helping people understand and grow in their discipleship. Becky has a personal testimony of how God delivered her from a burden of guilt and shame, so she is passionate about helping others know the same is available to them. She has two adult children, both on the autistic spectrum, which has presented daily challenges but has added a richness to life that would otherwise be lacking.
