Missionaries in Africa

Return to Long Term Missions                                                                             Forward to Missionaries in Asia

  • African Enterprise serves in cities in Africa. Founder Michael Cassidy has turned the leadership over to Stephen Lungu to lead crusades all over the continent. Christopher Doyle is the new local representative.
  • Christian College of Southern Africa was started by Bill and Joyce Warner in1967 in Harare, Zimbabwe. It offers many degree programs, and is an affiliate of the University of Zimbabwe.

  • John & Gwenda Fletcher who have returned to Congo with PCUSA after  a several year hiatus. John is a doctor. They had to evacuate several times in the 80s and 90s. 

  • Darren & Elisabeth Kennedy teach at Evangelical Theological Seminary in Cairo, under the PCUSA umbrella. They earned PhDs at Edinburgh, and pastor as well as teach students in Arabic. They have two young sons. 

  • Jim & Jodi McGill serve under PCUSA in Malawi, she doing public health and he involved in safe water wells and building. Both of them are raising six adopted children.

  • We help to support Nile Theological College in Khartoum as well as Debbie Blaine who is on the faculty there. Bill Anderson founded it in 1991, and we have long helped to encourage the training of national Christians there. Debbie is out with PCUSA.

  • Shawn & Kirsten Redford are in Kenya to teach and counsel, under the sponsorship of Christian Mission Fellowship. She is a granddaughter of Dr. Lindquist, and they both went to Fuller and studied with Dr. Pierson. They are accompanied by three young children.

  • Dr Martha Sommers practices medicine in Malawi. She is under MBF and PCUSA, and was a recipient of the lights this church supplied  via one of our short term missions. In 2003, she said, “It’s so wonderful to have lights in surgery.”

  • Dan & Elizabeth Turk (pictured right) work with the Church of Jesus Christ in Madagascar, called  FJKM, under the aegis of PCUSA. Dan has a PhD in forestry and serves in agriculture; Elizabeth is a nurse and works in Public Health. Their two children have grown up there. 

  • John & Anne Wheeler- Waddell (pictured left) have taught in Kenya and Ethiopia for many years with PCUSA missions. Recently they transferred to The Antioch Partners but are still returning to teach in Ethiopia at the Graduate School of Theology. When not overseas, they make their home in Jacksonville, Oregon. 

  • Embangweni Hospital in Malawi has often been the focal point of FPCH outreach. This congregation furnished funds to wire two hospitals for electricity and sent two teams to do the work in 1996. In 1998, we furnished funds for a Guardian Shelter and an ambulance, and sent a team to assemble shallow well pumps. Many times we have sent funds via MBF for nursing scholarships. The hospital a cappella choir came here in 1999, and in 2003 we went there once more. 

 
 


Sermon Series: Real Life Community
Lesslie Newbigin once said, “It is surely a fact of inexhaustible significancethat what our Lord left behind Him was not a book, nor a creed,nor a system of thought, nor a rule of life…but a visible community.”
But what might that look like in real life?
