The Word One to One is a UK-based ministry dedicated to mobilising and equipping believers to evangelise through Bible-sharing. Simon Lennox, previously of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) International, has been appointed as its new Chief Executive Officer.
Since its founding in 2006 by businessman Richard Borgonon, The Word One to One has empowered thousands of Christians to read God’s Word with their non-Christian connections through its books, mobile app and other resources. Simon, brings extensive experience in both business and ministry. He steps into this role at a pivotal moment as the ministry embraces a fresh vision, strategy, and direction. Simon explained, “There are so many incredible stories of Christians bringing people to Christ through simply reading God’s Word together. I am thrilled to join this movement.”
Simon is eager to build on the foundation laid by founder Richard Borgonon and Le Fras Strydom, who led the organisation to date and remains as Chief Operating Officer. Richard Borgonon, Founder and Chairman of The Word One to One said: “With this great addition we are massively blessed to have such a complementarily gifted leadership team and hugely excited to see what God has in store as The Word One to One continues to expand worldwide. It’s not our ministry, it’s our Saviour’s, and it’s His Word that is so very clearly changing lives wherever it’s introduced.”
Simon previously worked at Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) International, where he played a crucial role in overseeing innovation projects that expanded the reach of their Bible engagement resources. His work at BSF included the launch of the WordGo Bible study app, which helped thousands worldwide to connect more deeply with God through Scripture.
Simon brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the role of CEO, within Christian ministry and evangelism and in the business world. He studied theology at Oxford University, served as the youth ministry coordinator at his home church in Belfast and then spent several years in business and finance roles, led by his interest in people, travel and entrepreneurship.
