Stuart served as CSW\u2019s National Director for 19 years before retiring and becoming our Special Ambassador, a role that he embraced until the very end: he had been due to speak at a church in Sussex the morning he died.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Passionately dedicated to the cause of religious freedom, Stuart travelled all over the world to visit people who were being persecuted for their faith and hear their stories first hand \u2013 something that often put him at great personal risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stuart\u2019s deep and genuine love of Jesus shone out in everything he did, both as a pastor and as a tireless campaigner for human rights. His faith in God was absolutely unshakeable, and those who knew him often heard him quote his favourite verse, James 5:16: \u2018The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous person availeth much.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2e8314da5eff4d5c2e2b5f3a53ed48e6.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stuart visiting a school in Nepal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/eade7b22e7efc2956dc0de7fbaeb8470.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always a determined supporter of CSW\u2019s latest campaigns, Stuart stands outside the Chinese embassy in London in 2016, demanding justice for Chinese human rights lawyer Li Heping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3a34cc872bfefd5bc44dd472d3565907.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stuart testifies before the UN Commission of Inquiry on North Korea in 2013.
