Our history

Through Faith Missions was founded by Rev Daniel Cozens in 1985 and it became both a charity and a limited company in 1991.  Daniel's vision was to work outside of the normal church buildings and programmes to reach those who don't normally come to church.  He began to speak in pubs, homes, clubs, the open-air; anywhere that he could bring the gospel message and was soon joined in this task by Rev Peter Adams.

In 1991 Daniel had a particular vision to plan an extraordinary three-week mission down the Pennine Way.  The impact was immense with many coming to know Christ.  This was the first 'Walk of 1,000 Men'. At the time, planned mission walks were the main focus of TFM's work. 

Daniel retired as leader in 2012, and a number of others have stepped into the role of leading TFM. Dan Holland (another Dan) has been with TFM for 6 years now, 3 of which as the lead evangelist. He is full of vision and passion for a new season in TFM and is now joined in this by Jon, click here

Since the beginning, over 4,000 men and woman have participated in TFM missions. The focus has slowly changed from organised mission walks, to partnering and training with local churches in gospel outreach; involving single churches, villages, towns, deaneries, circuits, whole counties and geographical regions.



Many missions have been organised, and many hundreds of people of all ages have heard the gospel, many for the first time, and responded to the forgiveness, love, peace and joy found in the Good News of Jesus Christ. This work continues apace as we seek new ways to present the timeless gospel today!
