David Leyshon was the pastor of an independent Baptist Church in Crosskeys, South Wales, for fourteen years. In 1997 he retired from full-time pastoral work due to the onset of Parkinson’s disease. He now lives in Guingamp, Brittany, France, where he is a member of the local Evangelical Church. His book, Sickness, Suffering and Scripture, showing from Scripture what the Christian’s perspective on suffering ought to be, was published by the Trust in 2008.
