Josh and Cathy Hooker

Josh and Cathy have recently moved to Northern Ireland after serving as mission partners in southern Africa for 16 years.

Josh and Cathy are working with the Diocese of Down and Dromore, leading training ministries and local mission. In particular, Josh is running courses on biblical literacy, running preaching workshops, developing bible study resources and organising outreach activities. This work follows on from what he was involved with in Namibia, firstly lecturing at a theological college and then running training initiatives for a church. This ministry combines two things that Josh and Cathy are passionate about: teaching the Bible in the local church and equipping preachers to preach.

Josh and Cathy have three children: Benjamin, Erin and Matthew.
