Mission Partners

Work with Wycliffe Bible Translators whose mission is to communicate the Word of God to people who are still waiting to hear the gospel message in their own language. As well as translation work into Central Asian languages, they are involved in teaching and training, literacy work and community engagement. In early 2021 they moved from near Cheltenham to live within easy travelling distance of work at Moorlands College, Christchurch, Dorset.

Live in Thailand where Steve is Assistant Director of Bangkok Bible Seminary (BBS) and teaches theology and missions. The church in Thailand is steadily growing but the percentage of Christians is still less than 1%. There are thousands of churches but many lack trained leaders. BBS provides Biblically based ministry training for both those who can study at the college and for those who study online. There are currently over 900 students enrolled. Steve and Flor have served evangelical churches in Thailand for over 40 years.
