Dan Wooding (USA) receives BPCA Award for services to Pakistani Christians

The adorable Dan Wooding with his trophy!

We will be uploading images and biographies of the winners of the international winners of our BPCA Awards 2012.  This week we are posting a biography and photo of Dan Wooding who was a very close runner-up in the "Best help from non Pakistani-Christian"category.  This ward was for people of any faith or country that have been working for the good of our people.  Dan has been using articles through his internet based magazine ASSIST News service, to highlight the persecution faced by Pakistani Christians.  Quite frankly, without his work many news stories would simply not have made it outside of Pakistan.  Here is his biography:

Dan Wooding, 72, who was born in Nigeria of British missionary parents, is an award winning British journalist now living in Southern California with his wife Norma, to whom he has been married for 49 years. They have two sons, Andrew and Peter, and six grandchildren who all live in the UK. He is the founder and international director of ASSIST (Aid to Special Saints in Strategic Times) and the ASSIST News Service (ANS) and he hosts the weekly “Front Page Radio” show on the KWVE Radio Network in Southern California and which is also carried throughout the United States and around the world. Besides this, Wooding is a host for His Channel Live, which is carried via the Internet to some 192 countries. Dan recently received two top media awards -- the “Passion for the Persecuted” award from Open Doors US, and as one of the top “Newsmakers of 2011” from Plain Truth magazine. He is the author of some 45 books, the latest of which is “Caped Crusader: Rick Wakeman in the 1970s.”
