Andy Bannister is the Director of the Solas Centre for Public Christianity, an evangelism and training ministry based in Scotland. He is passionate about getting the gospel out of the four walls of the Church (and into places like coffee shops, universities, schools, pubs and so on). He also loves equipping Christians to share their faith at work or among their friends.

As well as his busy itinerant role with Solas, he is also an Adjunct Speaker for RZIM. For six years (2010-2016) he was their Canadian Director and enjoyed criss-crossing Canada and North America engaging people of all faiths and none with the gospel. Before RZIM, he did his theological study through London School of Theology (then London Bible College), doing first a BA in Theology and then a PhD in Qur’anic Studies. He got involved in evangelism through preaching to Muslims at Speakers’ Corner in London’s Hyde Park, and so wanted to dig really deeply into understanding Islam so he could engage his Muslim friends well.
