Letchworth Baptist Church and Mission Since the earliest days of Letchworth Baptist Church there has been a strong connection with mission of all kinds. It has been a joy over the years to see many of our folk enter God’s service overseas as well as entering the ministry in the UK. The church has always had a global perspective and vision supporting specific individuals in their specific, called ministries. As you read about our history you will read of just a few of the people who have gone out form our church to places such as: China, Indonesia, Canada, Iran, North Africa, Kazakhstan, Austria, Australia, Pakistan, Israel, The Gulf, Lebanon, Albania, Romania and of course the UK. In the UK we support our pastor David Chan whose ministry amongst the Chinese extends from Ilford to Hemel Hempstead and from the M25 to Northampton. David’s ministry also includes being a Chaplin at one of the immigration detention centres. Our Missionaries William Niven Will grew up in the church and as a student at Stirling University was introduced to Albania. He felt a strong call from God to work Will is pastor of two churches in Albania at Patos and Fier where he lives with his wife Doreta and their three children. His goal is to develop the local Christians to the point of doing himself out of a job. In his ministry there, and through a Bible School and other schemes, he is seeing the encouragement of believers growing in Christ. David Barnard David was called to work with Compass Braille in a quite remarkable and unexpected way. He was a software engineer with British Aerospace but had devel Compass Braille develops and publishes Braille Bibles and Christian literature in other languages, especially for Asian and Far Eastern peoples. They were seeking God for someone to lead the production work; exactly the role for which God had been equipping David. Robert Weissman
His mission includes door to door work work in North London visiting Jewish homes in the areas of Redbridge and Golders Green. Lois Morriss Lois is now retired from missionary service having been born to a missionary family and subsequently working in Morocco as a Nursery Nurse. She now lives in Leicester in a ‘Pilgrim Home’ but still likes to visit Christian friends in North Africa. |
