Investing in people in Nicaragua

After our first term in Nicaragua we almost left. We came to a crisis point in our ministry and were frustrated. We arrived just after Hurricane Mitch in 1999 and saw many being converted. Evangelical churches were growing, but they were messy. Opportunities were abundant but difficult and fragile.

Nicaragua is the poorest country in Central America and the second poorest in the Western Hemisphere. It has widespread unemployment and access to basic services is a challenge.

“Leave everything”, God told Duba in a dream

It was 2015 in northern Sierra Leone, when Duba, a churchgoer with no personal relationship with Christ, had a dream, “God spoke to me with the message that I was to leave all to follow him”.

Northern Ireland has a high percentage of evangelicals, but the Republic of Ireland has one of the lowest evangelical populations in all of Europe - around 0.5 percent.

Sharing God’s Grace in South Africa

During summer 2019, I was able to participate, through UFM, in a Bible College Placement with an organisation called MusaweNkosi in South Africa.

Are Church Summer Teams the Way Forward?

Why are we encouraging local churches to partner with those overseas?

Building That Will Last

The Wild Atlantic Way is (in the words of the tourist board) an “unforgettable coastal touring route” that takes tourists along the West Coast of Ireland “to enjoy breathtaking scenery and exceptional experiences”.

Summer Team to South Africa

In late June 2018, a team of five travelled to South Africa to serve for two weeks with UFM Associate Missionaries, Gavin and Elaine Charlton.

Our Early Days in Turkey

In April 2016, we arrived in Istanbul to spend two years focusing on learning the Turkish language and culture with the longer-term plan of working alongside a national church in a smaller city elsewhere in the country.

The Power of the Gospel: Ministering in Nicaragua

We are an international family. Susana and I met in Costa Rica and worked together there in ministry for one year during my Spanish language study. Susana was sent as a cross-cultural missionary by her church in Korea in 1996.

God’s Treasures at New Hope Uganda

“Treasures in Jars of Clay” is one of the projects at New Hope Uganda, working with children and young people with special needs and disabilities.

Showing God’s Grace to the Fatherless

MusaweNkosi means “God’s grace” in Zulu. MusaweNkosi was started in 2001 to show God’s grace particularly to orphans and their carers in the rural areas around Empangeni, near Durban, South Africa in the face of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Giving Hope to Young People in Sierra Leone

One aspect of ministry in Sierra Leone is working with under 18s. It is both exhausting and refreshing. In any given week we are parent-figures, teachers, role-models, advocates, and facilitators-of-fun.
