Tim Hughes is Director of Worship for the Anglican Holy Trinity Brompton Church, central London, and a nationally-known worship leader across many other denominations.
His worship songs “Here I am to worship” and “Beautiful One” are among many of his compositions sung each week in churches around the world. Tim also leads worship at a number of festivals around the UK each year such as Spring Harvest and Greenbelt, and also in South Africa, Europe, Australia, and Malaysia.
Tim wrote a special song entitled God of Justice for Tearfund’s church pack marking the Make Poverty History campaign. He also travelled to Tanzania to meet Joyce Mbwilo, a subsistence farmer who had to walk 10 hours a night to fetch water before Tearfund partners helped her village to develop a water supply.
Says Tim: “God’s heart breaks for the poor, the needy and the broken. If we want to offer up worship, our hearts must break too…The Bible is clear, worship and justice cannot be separated."
