Rev Phyllis Thompson,
Pentecostal Educator. Formerly Director of Education for the NewTestament Church of God
Nigel presents all the hallmarks of a seasoned and well-grounded Pentecostal minister, an exemplary leader and an effective educator. His pastoral sensitivity puts him in the category of those who are head and shoulders above many. He clearly has a rich resource of passion, commitment, skills and depth of experience from which to draw to 'fan the flames' of the fledgling beginner to the weary pilgrim in support of their effectiveness in Christian ministry. I highly commend Rendezvous in its aim to listen, support, encourage and guide pastors, leaders and churches in the pursuit of excellence for kingdom purposes.'.
Rev John Glass,
General Superintendent, Elim Churches 2000-2016, Chair of Council, Evangelical Alliance 2014-2018
“I have known Nigel Tween for very many years. He is a man of the very highest integrity and his gifts make him ideally suited to this new and much needed ministry. He has pastored several churches including one of the largest in the Midlands. He served with distinction as the Director of Training for the Elim Movement. He has been a valued member of Elim’s National leadership team and worked closely with me during my time as General Superintendent. I wholeheartedly recommend him and this vital ministry to you”
Rev Mark Pugh,
Lead Pastor of Rediscover Church
‘I've lost count of the number of times in ministry I've asked myself the question 'what would Nigel do?'. I've had the privilege of working with him for years and he has deeply impacted me. I love watching the grace of God ooze out of his life. He spots gold in others. He builds them up. He offers new angles to dreams and plans and undergirds everything with deep values that have shaped his own life and ministry. He carries an apostolic grace - he is a leader of leaders and if you have an opportunity to spend some time with him you should grab it quickly with both hands.
Matthew Ewing,
Elder, LCF
Nigel has been a close friend of Luton Christian Fellowship (LCF). He brought wisdom and insight to the issues to be resolved, encouraged the whole church with faith building messages and engaged with many individuals at their points of need. LCF has emerged from this period of transition in a strong and healthy state with exciting times ahead. I am very grateful for all Nigel has done to support LCF through this transition. I would encourage any church leadership team facing challenges, small or great to have a Rendezvous with Nigel and benefit, as LCF has, from his wisdom, grace and experience.
Mike Nicholls,
Lead Pastor LCF
During my time at Luton Christian Fellowship Nigel has been a constant encouragement and support. Having someone of Nigel’s experience (which has included leading small churches, big churches, Elim’s national training arm and also leading in the business sector) gives him a wide breadth of knowledge to draw upon that I have always found extremely helpful. I have often bounced ideas and thoughts off Nigel who has helped hone, polish and sharpen what I am trying to accomplish. Coupled with his experience is the heart Nigel has not only for the local church, but for leaders. Having led for many years himself Nigel doesn’t just share information gleaned from books or articles, but real lived knowledge which makes his input and advice so unique and invaluable. I would highly recommend Nigel and his ministry to any leader.
Rev Helen Yousaf,
Worship Minister, Artist and Creative Writer.
Nigel has always been available to anyone who reaches out to him but to now become aware that he has set the vision on a tablet of stone that we may run with it excites me no end. I see a healthier, more robust and confident church arising. I can easily commend Nigel and this ministry entitled ‘Rendezvous’ to you because Nigel has first rendezvoused with Jesus.
Revd Jonathan Woodhouse CB,
(former Chaplain-General, British Army and Convenor of the United Navy, Army and Air Force Board).

Nigel is the mentor who can accompany you in the next steps of your leadership, no matter your circumstances. His work with UK military chaplains underlines the resources of resilience and hope Rendezvous can offer.
