Who is Reverend Paul Cowley?

Paul Cowley is the U.K. Executive Director of Alpha for Prisons, Caring for Ex-Offenders and Alpha for Forces. Before coming to know Jesus, Paul lived an intense life. He had a troubled adolescence, lived on the streets, served a prison sentence, had a 15-year career in the Army, became a fitness trainer and then came to faith in Jesus on an Alpha course.

Paul also supervises various areas of Social Transformation at Holy Trinity Brompton, including "The Regeneration Trust" located on The World's End Place estate in London.
