FAMILY BIO
We
met in 1987 when Jonathan was on a one year mission trip to the
Philippines with FEBC. We married in 1988. Jonathan had joined FEBA
Radio as a long-term missionary. After five years with FEBC
Philippines, Jonathan was deployed to ICMC in Colorado and then
Mission Aviation Fellowship in California, where we settled for 20
years. In 1999, Jonathan’s US religious worker visa was not
renewed. This led to going back into commercial computing, and
eventually to working with CCO and becoming part owner. In 2019
Jonathan felt a call to return to to full-time mission. After
attending a Perspectives Course, we applied with FMI and became
licenced ministers. We have a son, David who is married to Leah, a
daughter Esther and a new grandson, Azariah.

MINISTRY BIO
We
hope to support and encourage the local church in Wales. Initially
we plan to help out in Bethel church in Pembroke Dock, where FMI
missionaries Mike and Mary Bave are pastors, with the future
possibility of eventually pastoring a very small local church in the
area which does not currently have any pastoral staff. We hope to
help the local church in Wales be a source of hope and strength to
the local community, reflecting God’s light and grace, while
connecting people to one another and to Jesus.
