"and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also"
2 Timothy 2:2 (ESV)
"I knew and enjoyed rich fellowship with that good & faithful servant of God, Clive West. This Lecture and Trust would be close to his heart for he rightly believed that sound Biblical training for ministry was crucial for the health & well-being of the Church. This comes with prayerful best wishes for success in your noble endeavour."
"One of Clive’s greatest strengths was his discipling of others. Like the Lord he loved, he invested his life in training and encouraging others, not least younger leaders. This Fund is a wonderful testimony to his Gospel shaped heart, life and ministry."
"Clive’s passion and calling was to fulfil the ministry of pastor teacher. He was a man of God who ‘rightly handled the word of truth’. He studied it, defended it, taught it and modelled it in his own life. Clive would never have pointed to himself but he would be delighted with a trust fund and annual lecture to enable and equip others to serve the Lord, to be rooted and grounded in Him, and to bring the gospel to all people (especially, through and within the Church of Ireland)."
"Clive West had a profound influence on many younger evangelical clergy in the Church of Ireland. He encouraged them to be biblically grounded, theologically aware and faithful to the Gospel. His influence lives on."
"I honour the name of Clive West, who was a staunch church leader and the warmest of friends. I endorse with all my heart his desire, which was obvious to all, to support those looking for excellence in theological training, as well as his acute sense of training which equips ministers for effective expository Bible teaching."
