Tim Tucker Email & Phone Number

I live in Cape Town, South Africa and have a PhD in Practical Theology from North West University. Before moving to South Africa, I lived and worked in England as a church-based youth worker. In 1998, I took a position with Kenilworth Presbyterian Church in South Africa where I served until 2001. Following this, I took up a position with Ambassadors in Sport (AIS), a global Christian Non-Profit Organisation. As the work grew across Africa, I was appointed the Africa Director of Ambassadors in Sport and oversaw the work of AIS in five African countries.I left AIS in 2013 and joined The Message Trust, founding the first international hub of The Message in Cape Town, South Africa. We officially launched The Message South Africa in February 2014 and focus on reaching tough urban youth through our Gospel-centred and holistic discipleship programmes. In 2023, I joined the Message global development team and am responsible for the African region.I am passionate about Africa and, in particular, investing in African leaders. My first book, The Pace Setter, was published by Message Books in 2014. My second book, Grab a Towel: Christ-centered leadership for the 21st century, was released in May 2018 (see www.grabatowel.site). In 2019 I released an autobiographical book called Grief and Grace tracking my journey through the loss of my late wife.I am married to Christina and we have four children.
