Editorial Assistant

I became a full-time employee of Myrtlefield in 2020 and help out with several projects, including audio transcription, the company archive and the Q&A section of the website. I currently live in Belfast.

Executive Director

Literary studies brought me to Belfast from the US, and studying with David Gooding was one of the things that made me want to stay. After finishing a PhD, the Myrtlefield Trust brought me on to help create an archive of Dr Gooding’s teaching. The creation of a publishing operation was the next natural step, and Myrtlefield House was established. I now oversee the Trust’s operations but get to spend most of my work time putting together new books from the archive for publication. My wife and I and our three young boys are active in church life and make our home just outside of Belfast.

Editor

In 1979 I was asked to type According to Luke for Dr Gooding. Within a few months I was acting as his personal secretary and it was a privilege to be alongside him for forty years until his final breath in 2019. When the Trust was formed in 1986 I continued typing the originals of all the books that have since been published, and was involved in the work in Russia. Since 2016 I have been one of the editors of the transcripts of Dr Gooding’s messages, and I now enjoy working with the enthusiastic new team. The help of my husband Stewart and son Daniel has always been invaluable.

Proofreader

I joined Myrtlefield House in April 2016 as a proofreader for the online series of transcripts. It has been a privilege to be able to be a small part of this team and it is especially encouraging to hear from people all over the world who have been helped and encouraged through Dr. Gooding's work. I am married to Philip and we have two teenage sons.

Translation Manager

I joined Myrtlefield House in November 2020 to manage all work on foreign language translation projects, as this was my main area of study previously at university. I work mainly in editing Spanish translations for republication, and managing projects to make our resources available in Russian, Chinese and Arabic. I live in Belfast along with my wife, Ruth.

Editor

When I was asked to contribute to the work of the Myrtlefield Trust as a volunteer editor, I needed no persuading. David Gooding has left us a wealth of sound Scriptural teaching which deserves to be made accessible to a wider audience and a younger generation. And, at a personal level, I saw it as a productive use of some of my retirement days. Although it has certain elements—such as a desk and a computer—in common with my former life as a civil servant in the Department of Education, the subject matter is far superior and more rewarding! My wife Phyllis and I are in fellowship in the assembly at Glengormley.
