Reverend Andrew Thompson has now moved to the United Arab Emirates and now serves as Senior Chaplain in Abu Dhabi. In January 2011 he was awarded the MBE by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for services to Human Rights and Interfaith Dialogue in Kuwait.
Reverend Andrew looks back on his time in Kuwait as formative and sees the lessons learned there as valuable for future ministry in the Islamic world. The church in Kuwait operates in a challenging environment but there is a great richness in the diversity of nationalities who gather weekly for worship. He is thankful to God for the wonderful friendships built with the Kuwaiti people themselves and he admires the hospitality extended to the Church. Kuwait faces many challenges politically and economically and he prays for the government of Kuwait that they may be granted wisdom and compassion in equal measure.

About Me
- revq8
- I am a minister at St Paul's church in Ahmadi. St Paul's church was built in 1956 by the Kuwait Oil Company in order to meet the spiritual needs of the expatriate oil workers. In grateful response to this generosity we wish to continue the tradition of interfaith harmony and mutual acceptance. As a Christian I cherish our faith and take seriously our Lord's commands to love God and love our neighbours.
