Bob Goody
CEO
“I love working for Rural Missions because I get to help individuals and churches to think and be more missional, which in turn sees communities transformed in Jesus’ name.
My heart for churches in rural areas is that they get to be a credible, caring Christian presence within their communities, and in so doing, see many people come to find and follow Jesus for themselves.”
Bob is passionate about seeing lives changed by Jesus. After his own dramatic conversion at the age of 16, he desires that no one should go through life without knowing the truth and the hope that only Jesus can give.
Bob loves to see Christians who are equipped, resourced, and released into mission, with a passion and desire to make Jesus known.
Outside of work, Bob loves to socialise, play board games, and serve his local church and community. Bob is married to the amazing Bec, and they have a beautiful boy called Reuben. They live in Mansfield and are part of the Leadership team at Ashwood Church.
Bob has an MA in Mission and has been serving in ministry for the last 24+ years, having worked in local churches and small charities, as well as working for Spring Harvest, Soul Survivor, and New Wine. He has helped direct missions on behalf of Youth for Christ and Scripture Union. His heart, his passion, and his life are all about sharing the love of Jesus wherever he can.
