Lauren grew up in Sheffield, UK, until moving to Manchester where she now lives with her husband Henry. Lauren suffered a great deal growing up until her life took a dramatic turn when she encountered Jesus for the first time. Since then, she has travelled around high schools and youth events preaching the gospel and sharing her story. Lauren works for The Message Trust’s mission team called ‘Respect Me’, helping young people in schools discover their identity in Jesus through exploring Christian perspectives on sex, relationships, and self-worth.
