Two days ago, I posted the following text on my Facebook and X pages, in response to some sad news I had just received: “Some folk will know that I am a long-time supporter of the work of Counties UK concerning their evangelism endeavours across the counties of England, especially in Essex. Ever since I first come across him as a young student, Andy Jelfs has been one of its stalwart evangelists. A few weeks ago, I learned of a rapid decline in health and I have just learned the following news about his passing. I thank God for this dear brother and pray for his wife, Miriam.”
