    About Jeff Lucas

     

    Author and speaker Jeff Lucas travels internationally in a ministry of Bible teaching which carries a specific vision to encourage and equip the church. Originally a church planting pastor, Jeff understands the dynamics of local church life and has a desire to “build” rather than simply “bless” as he teaches and preaches.

     

    His ministry is expressed in a number of different ways. He is part of the leadership team of Spring Harvest, an annual teaching and worship conference that gathers thousands and exists to equip the church for action. He serves on the board of Christianity, Youthwork, and Christian Marketplace magazines. Jeff is the author of fourteen books, as well as a number of study guides, booklets and a DVD teaching series called ‘Life Journeys”. Jeff’s books have been translated into French, Italian, Korean, Dutch and German.

     

    He writes a monthly column for Christianity Magazine, as well as daily Bible notes for CWR (Crusade for World Revival) - "Lucas on Life Every Day".  He broadcasts three weekly radio shows - In Good Company, and Lucas on Life on Premier Radio, and Lucas on Life: daily thoughts on UCB Radio. Use of the programming by various affiliates means that he is heard daily on over 350 radio stations worldwide, including Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.  He is an ambassador for Compassion, a charity working to help children in poverty worldwide.

     

    Jeff’s ministry began just up the road in Peterborough as a local minister and he and his wife Kay now live in Loveland, Colorado, where he holds a teaching post at Timberline Church, Fort Collins.
