Gerald and Louise Mwangi are partnered with Ballinderry Parish Church, to the southwest of Belfast. Rev Trevor Cleland, Rector of Ballinderry Parish Church, shares how essential their gospel partnership is for the life of the church:

‘Mission in the church can never be an optional extra. We are all called as believers in Jesus to be part of it. That is why partnering with Gerald and Louise Mwangi has been invaluable for us in Ballinderry. Their regular updates, prayer requests, and the opportunity to provide resources for their work in Kenya have all helped in showing people how they can support and be involved in mission. As the Lord has blessed Gerald and Louise’s work in Kenya with the fruit of changed lives, so too, in Ballinderry we have been blessed by the encouragement of knowing there is fruit from the gospel being proclaimed across the world.’

Heather Tuft, who served on a short-term mission to Ethiopia with Crosslinks, is a member of the Ballinderry Parish Church family and the mission partner contact for Gerald and Louise Mwangi:

‘It is a real privilege and joy to share the Lord’s work in Marsabit in Kenya with Gerald and Louise Mwangi. Having worked with children in Ethiopia with Crosslinks, I know there is such a desire for children to learn more about the Bible, but the value of training youth and children’s workers in Marsabit under Gerald and Louise’s leadership is immeasurable. It is so encouraging to see how God is leading them according to His will and how much the young leaders are benefitting. May God continue to bless Gerald and Louise and their boys Jeremiah, Daniel and James, keeping them in good health and safety as they travel, sharing God’s word in God’s world.’
