Evangelical Alliance pays tribute to Rob Frost of Share Jesus International
12 November 2007
Rev Joel Edwards has paid tribute to Rev Rob Frost, founder of Share Jesus International, who passed away peacefully in hospital on Sunday 11 November.
Rev Joel Edwards, General Director of the Evangelical Alliance described Rob as “one of the bright light champions for evangelical witness, evangelistic fervour and creativity; an outstanding pioneer.”
He praised Methodist Minister Rob Frost’s ministry because it reached well beyond Methodism into wider Christianity through Share Jesus International and missions and initiatives such as Easter People.
Rob’s inspiration led him into broadcasting on Premier radio, mentoring young people and helping the church engage with and witness in contemporary culture.
Mr Edwards continued: ”His aspiration to rediscover the spirit of Pentecost and make it accessible to culture through the church is a vision which he didn’t live to see but this will have been his final legacy to Christian faith in Britain.
“Rob was a great friend of the Evangelical Alliance and a personal friend from whom I gained much encouragement.”
