After they had lost everything due to a business decision, Rev. Dr Anthony Botfield and Rev. Mrs Josie Botfield devoted themselves to the service of God. They were part of a group of devoted Christians traveling from Telford to Bloxwich, both in the West Midlands, to attend meetings of fellow believers with the Rev. Andy Wall Ministries every Sunday evening. After a period of having attended these meetings, they were approached by Andy Wall to start a church in Telford. At the ages of 61 and 59 years, respectively, this was going to be a big challenge; however, Dr. and Mrs. Botfield, full of love for God and his work, took on the challenge without hesitating, and Grace International was born as a result.
