Director of Charis Walsall
Lorna Wilson
I was born in the UK, my parents are from the Caribbean, and I grew up in Handsworth, Birmingham. I am married to Tony, we have 3 children, 8 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.
At age 21, my life was impacted by God’s love for me. I found myself facing the difficulties that life often brings through wrong choices I had made. This was when I called out to God and He heard me. I became aware that He was pursuing me which was overwhelming, and this realisation resulted in me going to a church where shortly after, I was baptised and became part of that fellowship.
I have always felt there was more, and that was something that I desired to pursue. In my journey of wanting a deeper revelation of God, I decided that after 32 years of being in the nursing profession, I would leave and go to Bible college. This is where Charis became the catalyst to the transformation that took place in my life.
In 2013, I started studying at Charis Walsall, completed 3 years and then in 2016, I was offered a job working as a receptionist and was also responsible for procurement in AWM. I also supported the Missions department at Charis, which resulted in me later taking the role of Missions Coordinator.
After completing the Directors Training Programme (DTP Level 1), I was offered the role of College Dean, which has been an amazing experience and I have thoroughly enjoyed my interactions with the students, and this has been an privilege and blessing.
I completed the Directors Training Programme Internship in 2024. This was an amazing journey of growth and development, and I learned invaluable lessons along the way that has helped to shape, position and prepare me for the Charis Walsall Director role.
This is a new season in my life, and I am excited. It is with and by God’s grace that I look forward to what the future holds, not just for me, but for all those He sends across my path.
Director of Charis Exeter
Malcolm Grange
Malcolm worked for nearly forty years in regulatory services within Local Government before he along with his wife Elaine enrolled as students at Charis Bible college in 2016.
He completed his first year as a correspondence student and went on to complete Year 2 and 3 at Charis Bible College Dewsbury. After graduation he stayed on at the college as a volunteer staff member for a further two years. During this time, the desire to pursue internship intensified and he went on to complete the Director Training Programme in 2022.
Malcolm has been radically changed as a result of coming into contact with the ministry. His desire is to see believers discipled into maturity and receive revelation of the truth of the word of God, so they become all that God intended.
He has been married to Elaine for over 40 years and they have three grown up children and three grandchildren.
Director of Charis Dumfries
Sireon Reid
I grew up in Birmingham, UK, in a non-Christian home. At 22, my life changed when I had a profound encounter with God during my sister’s baptism, leading me to accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour.
Six months later, I felt called to missions and spent three years in Italy with a ministry conducting tent crusades. Upon returning to the UK in 2017, I attended Charis Bible College Walsall to gain a deeper understanding of the Word of God and graduated 2019 and completed the Year 3 Leadership course in 2020. I have completed DTP Level 1 and finished my Internship in 2024.
Since 2018, I have had the privilege of serving at Andrew Wommack Ministries Europe. I have worked as the Building Manager for the past 3 years and am now serving as Charis Dumfries Director. It is an honour and privilege to contribute to the impactful work of the ministry and help others experience the transformative power of the Word of God through the teachings of Andrew Wommack and the other Charis instructors.
