ABOUT THE STAFF
Paul Murphy England
Contact: 07824 485 437
The work of Stauros in England centers on Paul Murphy. Paul was
converted to Christ through the ministry of Lawrence and Iris
Hennessey. He served as a volunteer in Stauros before joining the
staff team in 1998. He is married to Lynne and has a grown up
family. Paul and Lynne live in Bolton, Lancashire and are members
of The Bridge Church in Bolton.
Paul’s work requires him to cover quite an extensive area. He
frequently visits individuals around Bolton and its outlying areas
such as Horwich, Radcliffe, Smithills and Harwood. He covers
Manchester to the south and often travels east to Barnsley and
Rotheram. On a wider scale still his contacts take him to north
Wales, Leicester and Coventry. The people Paul supports with
pastoral care have a wide range of needs including many with
substance abuse and addiction issues. His clients sometimes suffer
from on-going mental health issues such as depression, and life
threatening illnesses such as cancer. When appropriate Paul is
accompanied by his wife Lynne, and together they minister into the
lives of Stauros people with effectiveness and love.
Part of Paul’s work has led him into a number of prisons where he
has the opportunity to offer pastoral support to prisoners. The
prisons he visits are Buckley Hall, Garth Prison and Wymott Prison.
