Mission Partners & Associates
"Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me"
All our Partners and Projects have a focus on mission that links in with our three priorities: church planting in Europe, serving the global poor and reaching unreached people groups – areas of mission that we remain committed to and passionate about. Although our Partners and Projects are making great strides in these areas, the need for transformative mission in the nations remains huge; the world is crying-out for the life-giving gospel. As a church, we collaborate financially, practically and through prayer with around 20 missionaries spread across the globe.
Meet the Mission Partners
Abu & Amy (UK)
Abu, Amy, and their two children, live in East Oxford. They have a particular love and empathy for Arabs and people from Muslim countries, and this directs their presence, actions, and interactions in their community. They reach out to Muslims, and equip Christians to do the same.
Please pray:
For their ministry
For a strong relationship with Jesus
For their family
François & Gosia Danthon (France)
Living in central Paris, Francois and Gosia support church growth and planting in the city and across the nation. They run a church plant called ‘Église de la Resurrection’, which has been growing and establishing itself. Francois also works part time for ‘Alpha’ in France, which has grown rapidly: in 2017, 400 new courses have been created across the country.
Kosta & Nada Milkov (Macedonia)
Kosta and Nada Milkov returned to Macedonia with their daughter, Gabriella, in August 2009. Their heart is to reach the culture in Macedonia, to bring Christianity to that culture in a relevant way which reaches those who have not yet heard the gospel. As well as getting involved with one-off, big conferences and events, Kosta and Nada have ongoing projects like the Literary Café, and producing apologetics videos.
Christian & Helen Hofreiter (Austria)
Christian and Helen Hofreiter moved to Vienna, Austria in 2013. Christian works at the Pontes Institut for the German-speaking world, which involves a lot of travel around the region speaking at events, universities, and in apologetic debates. Helen works supporting the team on the front line. Their children, Hannah and Sam, are doing well and growing fast.
Simon & Henrietta Cozens (Australia)
Simon and Henrietta are involved in training and discipling missionaries at the Worldview Center for Intercultural Studies in Tasmania, Australia. Simon teaches anthropology and church planting, and Henrietta teaches cross-cultural communication and is involved in students' ministry placements.
Ashley & Christine Nunes (Pakistan)
Ashley and Christine Nunes lead and serve a Logos Fellowship church in Pakistan. The church is growing, particularly in the Sunday school and worship. The worship is in a mix of English and Urdu, the national language. Ashley also works in the prisons, where there is a great need for Christian witness.
Tim & Rachel Green (South East Asia)
Tim and Rachel have been living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for over 3 years. Tim is giving leadership to the Increase Association which helps local churches across Asia to equip and empower their own people for mission and ministry. Rachel does a lot of individual mentoring as well as being Interserve’s international mentoring co-ordinator. They also host an international student’s cell group in their home every Saturday night.
Sena and Jane Ounate-Lare (Normandy)
Sena, Jane and their family have recently moved into the town of Caen in Normandy, home to 25,000 students. They are continuing to pour into ‘Eglise Le Bon Berger’ – a church planted a year ago – and are currently looking for a building in which their core group can meet. Sena is also still helping with another two churches in their local network which are run by local elders.
Eric and Lynn Bossward (Barton, Oxford)
In April 2016, Eric and Lynn moved to take on the leadership of St Mary's Church in Barton. At the invitation of Oxford Diocese, St Aldates has partnered with St Mary's to renew the mission of this strategic parish, placed prominently on the Headington roundabout. The community and church have an immense sense of acceptance, love and welcome, and St Mary’s has a growing and diverse congregation of different ages, nationalities, backgrounds, and life experiences.
