Alun and Debbie Burt

Following a short-term trip to South Africa, Alun and Debbie returned to serve there long-term in 2008. Their ministry includes serving at St Thomas' Church, Heideveld and working with Arise - an Christian organisation that helps vulnerable children.

St Thomas' Church is in the heart of a community deeply affected by drugs, gang culture and the legacy of apartheid. Alun teaches the Bible in Sunday services and disciples young men.

At Arise, Debbie raises the profile of fostering and adoption in the local church and supports families that have taken these steps.

They have four children: Likhona, Ilana, Malachi and Timothy.
