Robert joined the BBT team as the Executive Director/CEO in June 2017. Robert was born and raised in Ballymena, Northern Ireland. Robert brings 22 years of international ministry and leadership experience to BBT from his various roles in ministry. He shared Christ with his own people in Northern Ireland for seven years before God called him as a missionary to Munich, Germany where he served for almost a decade. It was in Munich that he met his American wife, Bethany, who was also serving on a mission team in Munich. In 2011 God moved Bethany and Robert back to her home town of St. Louis, where Robert served as College Minister at Washington University in St. Louis and then as an Executive Pastor in a local church.

Bethany and Robert have a young son and enjoy spending their time with Bethany’s family as well as their spiritual family at U-City Family Church.
