Clive Thorne came to faith in Jesus while a student at Oxford in 1976. After spending some years with Operation Mobilisation in India and Coventry, he founded the ministry of SACO in 1983. His main burden and passion was to share the gospel of Jesus with Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims and over the years it has been a joy to see many people find faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the founder of the outreach which has now become Southampton Lighthouse International Church.
