Jill Briscoe was born in Liverpool England in 1935. Educated at Cambridge. She taught school for a number of years before marrying Stuart and raising their three children. In addition to sharing with her husband in ministry with Torchbearers and in pastoring a church in the United States for 35 years, Jill has written more than 40 books, travelled on every continent teaching and encouraging. She has written numerous beautiful Christian poetry books. (and they sound beautiful in her British accent) Stuart and Jill met each other in the context of youth ministry over 60 years ago in England when Stuart was a bank examiner and Jill was a school teacher. They married and based their life together on the biblical verse, “As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24:15.) Individually and together they have written over 140 books, pastored a church in the United States for thirty years, and founded a media ministry called Telling the Truth that broadcasts daily on air and online across the world. They have three children and thirteen grandchildren. Jill’s life verse now is Ps 71:18
