Called to serve God as missionaries in 2005, we spent two years training at Redcliffe College in Gloucester. During that time, the Lord placed Moldova on our hearts and, after a visit, we accepted an invitation to work alongside the local church in the rural west of Moldova. We arrived in Dancu in December 2007, after 2 months preparation in Chisinau.

Our work is in partnership with the local church - Dancu Baptist Church - including its charitable association, Dancu Tabita. We are keen to work with like-minded organisations, and so Chris accepted an invitation to act as Field Coordinator for Breadline, a Christian development organisation.
